This just in... Tony Kornheiser steps down from his job with Monday Night Football. Apparently during the last season they were trying to find a way to get him "out of his seat." He claims it's his fear of flying that has sidelined him from the booth, but....."I am totally grateful for the MNF opportunity," he said. "My fear of planes is legendary and true...I kept looking at the schedule the past month and wanted to find a way to quietly extricate myself."
I like Tony Kornheiser a great deal. He and Michael Wilbon are two of my favorite characters on ESPN. I don't know how i feel/felt about Mr. Kornheiser being on MNF. I didn't quite make sense to me, but Jon Gruden has the job now. I get that "a little bit more." The reason(s) for Tony leaving is beyond me and I have no desire to pass judgement on the man, but I do think Tony was more "forced out" than not. MUCH RESPECT Tony. ALL HAIL.
