Mr. Tony MNF!

It was announced today that Washington Post columnist and sports commentator Tony Kornheiser has been chosen to join the new ESPN Monday Night Football broadcast booth along with Mike Tirico and Joe Theismann.
I am a big “Mr. Tony” fan. Most people know Tony from appearing with Michael Wilbon on the Emmy winning ESPN show “Pardon the Interruption”. Those in the Washington D.C. area know him not only for his sports columns but also for the “humor” columns he did for many years in the Sunday “Style” section of the Post.
Tony has also done a sports radio talk show in Washington for about 16 years, several of which were nationally syndicated by ESPN. I listen to his 2 hour show M-F on “Sportstalk 980's" internet site.
There is speculation now that Tony will have to give up the radio show because he doesn’t like to fly and will have to spend a lot of time traveling to the various Monday Night Football venues next year.
I’m fairly certain that Tony will make both a positive and humorous contribution to MNF..
