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.

AMEN!! both are pompous wind bags!. glad to see gone!.. been listening to maycock, as he does the Norte Dame games , he's pretty good.. its different than his "draft stuff", but does have a good handle on the game... and MUCH DIFFERENT and bettr than kiper

I'll get excited when Buck gets tossed.

I'd like to see Kevin Harlan do some football. He seems to put some excitement into it.

I've never liked Theismann at all and Millen is just plain thick. It's just uncredible how anyone could have ever paired these two in one booth.

always hated both.. and after the lions debacle was shcoked when millan got rehired right away, no credibity at all

Theismann hasn't been right since LT broke his leg in that Monday night game...and Millen is Millen...kind of like Charlie Brown is a blockhead...

Brad Nessler is a good college football announcer, and so is Matt Millen. But Millen is way out of his element doing color analysis of NFL games. He's too nice to be doing it, and belongs at the college level.

Man, I didn't realize that Mike Mayock called Notre Dame games! The best college play-by-play announcer I ever heard was John Ward, "Voice of the Vols" from 1968-1998. No matter how good or how bad Tennessee was at any given time, you always got excited when you heard John Ward exclaim loudly into the radio: "IT'S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!!!"
