According to the Washington Post, "ESPN is talking with Kornheiser about taking over one of the color-commentary chairs on "Monday Night Football" next season."
Also of note from the same article, "The hitch: It's unclear whether Al Michaels, "MNF's" play-by-play man, will return to the booth next season. Michaels reportedly wants to join NBC, which will carry NFL games next season."
It goes on to explain that if Michaels stays, they plan on using only Joe Theismann as a color man (they apparently went after the second worst color man in the business, as they had the sense not to go for Paul Maguire). However, if Michaels leaves for NBC, they'd bring in Tirico for MNF, and then possibly bring in Kornheiser for 2 color men.
Sounds interesting. My original hope was to have Michaels on ESPN on Monday nights, and then NBC have Bob Costas in the booth for the Sunday night games. However, I wouldn't mind hearing Kornheiser, who I like a lot on PTI, be a color commentator for MNF.
I am sure about one thing though. Get Joe Theismann out of the booth!

I haven't watched a whole NFL game since Super Bowl IV. But if Tony Kornheiser was in the booth, I just might watch MNF.

I'm a big Mr. Tony fan, so I'd love to see him in the MNF booth. I do worry, however, that he'd be asked to mostly crack jokes and perform a Dennis Miller-type of role. And he'd do that well, but I think he's better than that and hope he'd get a chance to show it.
