I have to agree about his over-the-top praise on MNF. His insight into the Xs and Os is great, but he and Jaws seem to try to outdo each other with words like "outstanding," "perfect," and "excellent."

The insight is more than worth the price of admission. I learn a lot about what players and coaches are doing during MNF games with these guys.

I used to hate ESPN SNF and then MNF because of the chuckleheads in the booth. The crew that they have now draws me in. While I agree that Jaws and Chucky seem to feed off of each other in terms of "one-upness", I think ESPN would be foolish not to throw a shit-ton of money at Gruden to keep him around longer than one season. He's better than Collinsworth, that's for sure.

Gruden is buttering the whole freaking loaf of bread with all the excessive praise he throws at guys. Sounds like a guy trying to say the right thing to potential employers.

No way in HELL he even thinks for 1 second about coming back to work for Al.

Yeah, Al would rather hire some nobody OC from the Lions before he picks up Gruden.
