2009 NFL Pre-season: Monday Night Football-- Open thread

Talk, talk, talk away as the NY Giants take on the Carolina Panthers. Watch Little Bro fling it to Hakeem Nicks. Watch Julius Peppers continue to be over-rated and over-paid. Watch new Panthers defensive coordinator Ron Meeks try and take Carolina's pedestrian defense and make it something worth fearing again.
But, more importantly, enjoy football returning to Monday nights.
Oh, and yes, ESPN still sucks. Jon Gruden will now get to do his "Chucky" face every week. At least it is better than Tony Doucheheiser.
This is your open thread. Enjoy.

Over-rated coach, media douchebag
Over-rated writer, also a media douchebag

Nice return Manningham
too bad he was a total moron in his interviews.
It's shocking what you can miss sometimes. The amazing color changing card trick.

I still say Chucky is better than Collinsworth-less.
And definitely better than Korn-nut.

Bring on Gruden
I’m willing to wager he’ll be entertaining during the season. Really gonna miss Kornheiser bringing up the Patriots and how great Brady is every 5 seconds no matter who’s playing or how good of a game it is.

Chris Williams looks good for Miami
We’re going to miss him here at NMSU.

Gruden
Gruden is 1000 times better than Kornheiser. Tony was lame and offered no worthwhile input to the game. Gruden knows what he is talking about and is actually interesting. I think it’s a great fit.

I wish the Cubs wouldn’t suck so much.

Same here.
At least make it challenging for my Cards, lol.
Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: The 57 on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had. Why does a company have 57 varieties of pickles? Who knows.

booo
I hope Carpenter’s arm explodes and the debris takes out Pujols, Holliday and DeRosa.

With the kind of luck Carpenter has with injuries,
his arm spontaneously combusting is certainly possible. The debris would probably just bounce off of Pujols though ;-P

I liked Gruden last night
My favorite (paraphrased) quote:
As a coach would you run the ball on 3rd and 4?
I would on the road… ‘cause if you run the ball on 3rd and 4 at home, and don’t make it, you get boo’d out of the stadium.

I liked Gruden, too
he was animated, knowledgeable and interesting
How can you not love a team that does this?

At least he talked about the game in front of him.
Unlike Kornheiser and his man-love for Favre, the Patriots and Tom Brady.
I didn’t have to mute Monday Night Football – WOO-HOO!
