Voice immodulation sufferer Ron Jaworski has been removed from the Monday Night Football booth and relegated to studio duty for ESPN, according to Sports Business Journal’s John Ourand. To be sure, ESPN swears this is not a demotion for Jaws. Hey, that’s great. I don’t so much care about Jaws’ broadcast career trajectory as much as what I’m subjected to while watching games any given week. On one hand, the change is a necessary one because Jaws and Jon Gruden frequently step on each other’s toes trying to make the same insipid analysis. On the other, this means an even higher frequency of Gruden brainfarts per broadcast to fill the void. THESE BRAINFARTS, I’M GONNA CALL THEM THE LINGERERS.

Thank god. Now they can bring Matt Millen in!
(wrists slit open)
the people request, nay DEMAND, Emmitt Smiff.
Move MNF back to ABC
Fire everyone in the booth
Pay NBC whatever it takes to get Al Micheals back
Only problem with Michaels is you have to hear him over-use the word “illustrious.” When you are describing the career of Alvis Whitted as “illustrious,” you aren’t understanding the definition.
Gruden ain’t great, but let’s just try a two man booth for a while.
There is no chance that they don’t put some other yutz in the booth to replace Jaws.
Agreed Carl S. The worst part is that ESPN will undoubtedly just put someone who is somehow more horrid than Jaws in like Herm Edwards or as Otarin guessed Millen (shudders)
Mike, what I see going on here with Ron is that he lacks mouth discipline, and that’s something that you either have or you don’t have, the good announcers have it, they just run with it and it’s an unconscious process going on in their minds, it allows them to react that much quicker Mike. The average announcer has to work at it a lot harder, and that’s not to say that it isn’t LEARNABLE or COACHABLE but it’s just a lot harder to come up with the automatic firing of words into a microphone’s aperture, and we all know that once an announcer has to start to think on his toes, he’s in for a long day at the office.
Did they also move him to grantland? Or setup own site discipline land? Or is he not allowed on grantland because it will be doing popup video style comments on MNF
I want Keyshawn in the booth. Now wait. Hear me out:
He still hates Gruden. I want unbearable awkwardness, damn it! Oh wait…..
OJ and Namath; awkward silence defined.
Mike Patrick, Joe Theismann, and Paul Maguire for the Apocalypse.
We need Joe Namath, now more than ever.
“THIS GUY to my left here, I’m calling him ERECTION MAN, ’cause THIS GUY right HERE has a boner every time we go to Suzy on the sideline.”
He isn’t the only one…. with the boner, I mean.
/because she’s cute.
//and I would like to have sexual relations with her.
//I’ll be here all afternoon.
I want Dandy Don Meredith back in that booth and a mile high.
Somewhere Dennis Miller is on a rant full of obscure references about this- and nobody’s listening.
Hey, look at these beauties.
“You know Dan, Al and I went out in the Mall of America the other day at the piercing pagoda and we had our nipples pierced.”
In reference to a Titans fan wearing a mask with fake blood streaming down it: “Remember, all you kids at home, never pick your own zits.”
After Al outlined the playoff implications of the game in the second half: “Albeeno, you’re the only one with the brain capacity to suck all that in … I’m eating a hotdog and Dan is scratching himself.”
And they fired this guy?
Based on the post title, I thought for sure this meant Stuart Scott would be in the booth this year.
well done.
Based on availability, Haynesworth can be the booth this year.

I don’t have a problem with Jaws (except the Romo-job); I stand alone.
Seems like this has turned into a fantasy draft.
I’m gonna go with John Madden on magic mushrooms, solely for the entertainment value.
I’m going with Emmitt Smith. Why not embarrass the NFL when you can embarrass the English language!
I am under the impression that Jaws quit once he saw that the Jaguars were on Monday Night for 16 weeks in 2012 (which is just slightly more than they were in 2011).
Dan Dierdorf, Frank Gifford and the rotted out hide of Howard Cosell.
I heard Lisa Guerrero and Eric Dickerson are available.
to do porn.
Phil Simms, Dan Dierdorf, and Bryant Gumbel
I really think Paul Reubens in character as Pee-wee would be good as play-by-play; then I wouldn’t care who did color.
I am a lady lawyer, young and beautiful. And now I am seeking a good man who can give me a real lo;ve, so I got on BillionaireFriends.COMit’s where ri;ch men and women loo;king for comp;anionship for a fabulous lifestyle.
“lady lawyer, young and beautiful” are mutually exclusive.
This is going to be worse than the lockout ff ESPN takes all summer to announce what jerkoff will be the 3rd man in the booth.
