MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I never liked or dislike John Gruden, but last night he made me a fan when they were discussing Eli Manning and he gave them the business. that was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He actually did a really good commentating last night, infact they all did a pretty good job. If Gurden is out for acouple years of coaching he should defiantly stay in broadcasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 honestly gruden was annoying me, and then he spoke about how much respect he had for coughlin as a coach and a man, and then he kept raving about the giants and eli as a qb and gruden wasnt annoying me anymore and he won me over. hahah i think i like him purely because he was speaking nicely on our team.

NeMesiS Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He was OK... But he does seem like he'll get into a chest pumping match with Jaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMFP Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He was OK... But he does seem like he'll get into a chest pumping match with Jaws. That might not be a bad thing, given how Kornheiser used to fawn all over Jaws. I like Gruden alot....he's a guy that understands both the X and O factor, plus the entertainment factor, of being a good color guy.....almost a Don Meredith quality to how he lays it out.

boohyah Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 If he's a better color man than coach then he'll be average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYG Hampton 27 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Dennis Miller He was pretty bad on MNF, good on weekend update though (of course he was no Norm...) I said in the game thread how I liked the addition of Gruden. And I've always liked Jaws as a commentator. I think this trio will be very good this year.

boohyah Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 He was awful. The concept was awful, they wanted Miller to be himself, he was for the most part. It just didn't work. Kornheiser was a disaster, they wanted him to be PTI like and he decided that it ws best to be annoying. His rants about Favre were constant and awful to listen and he would constantly interject with a comment that had nothing to do with the ongoing discussion.

Martin Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I was amazed at how good the commentating was. Gruden is excellent he's smart and exciting. Both mike carico and jaws had to follow his lead through out the evening. It was a pleasure to have some good football talk that made sense. .

Right before they went to ca ommercial they were talking about Eli being an elite QB, Jaws said he wasnt there yet and Gruden strongly disagreed...then the camera went to Eli and Gruden said "I'll take that guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or that he's bringing a bar of soap to the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I always liked gruden, I think he was a upper tier coach and it's a shame he's not coaching somewhere. I mean, he did well with the fucking Raiders, name another coach to do that in the last decade. But I like him as a personality as well, and look forward to him on MNF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Coughlin--built a team from scratch, turned it into a annual playoff contender. Won a Superbowl. Has the team as one of the top choices for the Superbowl this coming year. Has a team so invigorated that you have to go back to Parcells to find this kind of motivation. Obviously, he must be doing something right. John Gruden--Takes a team built by GM Rich McKay and made a playoff contender by Tony Dungy, and wins the Superbowl by beating his former team (hmmm....), led by his former Offensive Coordinator (hmmm...). Then proceeds to get McKay fired and destabilize an already weak offense while the defense slowly withers away. Jeff Lurie should send him a bonus check for what he did for the Eagles last year. He's a decent commentator. So was Matt Millen. But you're right--the NY Media would love him. So let's throw the winning away so the media has someone they like.

MakeMeSomeFoodHo Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 I dont see how anyone can not love the job that EA to some degree, reese and coughlin has done with the giants. Theyve done a terrific job. saying otherwise is not just completely false, its downright dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
