I actually liked Tony and didn't want to see him go. I think he's pretty knowledgeable about the game in general, but I'll give you this, there were a lot of times where he was trying to inject "Dennis Milleresque" jokes in more than he probably should have. He left on his own accord from what I know, so I gather from that they thought he was doing a good job.

I do think it's hard being the 3rd wheel announcing MNF. It seems pretty obvious they've been using the 3rd guy as a publicity stunt for years now.

I will certainly give Gruden a chance, but I can see him being pretty cut and dry. Not sure how much personality he has outside of being argumentative, but we shall see. And I will definitely be watching regardless of who is announcing.

Gruden should be great to listen to. i hope he's honest.
Tony was honest to a fault. I don't see how you can question the man's integrity, if you are implying Tony wasn't honest.
