Kornheiser & Homer are two people I absolutely can't stand,listening to Rodgers blast them was quite entertaining.
I actually like both Kornheiser and Homer (though, most times I wish Mitch would STFU), but I agree with Rodgers on Kornheiser's MNF role - he was terrible and TK knew it and owned up to it.
The problem with putting Kornheiser there was that he was a journalist and writer, not an analyst or a football mind. What I mean by that is that Kornheiser was interested in the casual headlines and broad themes rather than the specifics of the game, and while that's fine for a newspaper writer or a talk show host, that doesn't work when you're broadcasting the game. ESPN thought that bringing Tony in would revolutionize it's broadcasts, but, in doing so, they set him up to fail. His work with the Washington Post was really good and I like the back and forth with Wilbon on PTI. But, he just wasn't the guy for calling games, plain and simple.
I agree that Miller was better on MNF, but I despise Dennis Miller in general, so it's not like I really enjoyed listening to him, either.
