It's official - Tirico, Theismann, Kornheiser

I mentioned last week that ESPN was trying to get Tony Kornheiser for MNF, and it is now official. It was also announced that because Al Michaels is going to NFC, where he will stay with John Madden, Mike Breen will slide over to the top analyst for basketball on ABC, where he's partnered with Hubie Brown.

I like both of these moves. I think Kornheiser should at least be very interesting to listen to, which should be a good change from Monday Nights with John Madden. Also, I've always liked Mike Tirico, and he seems to do a good job of calling the game, and is also entertaining. The part I don't like, and I said this before, is that Joe Theismann is not very good. Even though he was probably the best of the "Patrick-Theismann-Maguire" trifecta, that doesn't make him good.

On the basketball side, Mike Breen has always been one of my favorites, ever since he called the Sixers/Celtics playoff series a few years back. He's with Hubie Brown, who, although he does make good use of the second person ("now, you're ____"), he knows his stuff. I already liked Michaels, so it's kinda like going from a good thing to another good things, but it's still nice nonetheless.
