Two More Broadcasting Asshats Replaced......
The worst GM in the history on the NFL and a former NFL QB who once said that "You don't need to be a Norman Einstein to play QB in the NFL", thereby proving the point, are discharged from their announcing duties, LOL.
What network genius thought this pairing up anyway?

Sweet relief: Millen, Theismann replaced on Thursday nights
By MJD
http://mit.zenfs.com/209/2011/05/MikeyMayock.jpgThe broadcasting pairing of Joe Theismann and Matt Millen -- otherwise known as the cruelest prank ever pulled on NFL fans -- is no more.
The NFL Network has announced that it'll have a new Thursday night broadcast crew, with Brad Nessler doing the play-by-play and Mike Mayock handling the analysis. Bob Papa, who did the play-by-play with Millen and Theismann, is out of the Thursday night mix, too. He and Theismann will remain with the NFL Network, but in different roles.
Mayock has become known as a draft expert; sort of the NFL Network's answer to Mel Kiper Jr. That's selling him way short, though. He played briefly in the league in the early '80s, and has done a boatload of broadcasting work since. He's called college games, CFL games and NFL games.
I don't mean to kick Theismann and Millen when they're down, but I don't think I'm alone in saying that that little broadcast experience needed to end. One of them at a time might not have been so bad, but if we were going to have to endure another half-season of them together, I would have fully supported this lockout lasting until long after I had died.
