A Brief Word to Tony Kornheiser, Who I Hate More Than Words Can Express

If you're looking for a nice and calm reaction to the Eagles-Cowboys MNF game -- one for the ages, really -- well, I'm kind of spent right now, so you aren't getting one.

But words, honestly, can not describe my hatred for Tony Kornheiser. You've got one of the best games in recent NFL history going on in front of you, but Cornhole had to talk about...

> Terrell Owens' history with Donovan McNabb

> The financial worth of the Cowboys franchise

> The year-old Andy Reid's kids story

> Jessica Simpson

> Fourteen other things that had nothing to do with the game that I can't remember, because my head is still bleeding

OK, I've said this before. I didn't want to say it again. I suspect you don't want to read it again. But here goes.

CAN YOU, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO YOUR CRAPTACULAR SPORTS PUNDIT SHOW DURING THE FREAKING WEEK AND TALK ABOUT THE GAME THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU?

AND IF THE ANSWER IS NO, CAN YOU STAY THE HELL HOME AND NEVER, EVER DARKEN MY TELEVISION AGAIN?

Maybe it was because I cared about the outcome of the game, but Kornheiser's performance last night woke me up to what a truly terrible football analyst he is. The only thing that could be worse is if Mike Tirico got sick and they replaced him with Chris Berman.

You'd still have Jaworski, who, you know, prepares for the game and actually knows something about football.

I suppose we should count our blessings. They could go back to the old SNF Sammy Maudlin trio, starring Joe Theismann and...
