Capitalizing on three Aaron Rodgers interceptions, the Saints ran away with a Monday Night Football game that went from first-half shootout to second-half execution shooting, winning 51-29 thanks to an offensive onslaught powered by Drew Brees. Brees completed 20 of his 26 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns, picking apart the heralded (and wildly overrated) Packers secondary.
But, since it was Monday Night Football and the Packers were playing, the story wasn’t really about Brees and the Saints. According to Tony Kornheiser, this game was all about Brett Favre. “Hey Jaws, don’t the Packers HAVE to be wondering about whether they made the right move by trading FAVRE?” Repeat that sentence for three hours, and you’ll have the gist of last night’s transcript.
I try not to complain about announcers, because anything after the combination of Joe Theismann and Mike Patrick is a gift, but Jesus Harold Christ is Kornheiser horrible at his job. Just try to sit through MNF without booze. I dare you.
After the jump: Roman Harper helps Greg Jennings remove his cleats.

And that my friends is why no Saints fan ever listens to the commentators. Turn down your TV and turn up WWL 870 am (Clear Channel nights and weekends for those not in the area). Best sports announcer in the business, Jim Henderson, calling the games.
Kornheiser: “Jaws, don’t you think, every game, Rodgers is playing against two different quarterbacks, his opponent and Brett Favre?”
Jaworski: “No, he’s playing against a defense.”
Kornheiser gives a voice to the common fan. It’s just too bad the common fan is a moron.
Turico: “…and who did Brunell used to back up? Go ahead and say it, it’s been a couple minutes.”
Kornheiser: “Oh, I was thinking of his DC days, but yes Brett Favre”
“I think that we have to address what most fans are thinking….the constant compairison to Favre. And Farve is 8-3, while Rodgers is 5-6.”
Hey Tony, judging quarterbacks solely by win-loss record is about as asanine as it gets. In that respect, Kerry Collins is the best QB in the league. Even after a side-by-side compairison showed that Rodgers’ stats and Fvre’s stats are very similar, Kornheiser continued to talk about it.
Fucking shitheel.
haha… all you guys had to deal with the MNF crew last night. Well, ol’ Merk sure got the run on you, cuz by the time i got home from the late shift the girlfriend already had the Hills on.
Switch Jaws and Kornheiser for Hollywood Fucktardtry?! SCORE ONE FOR ME!!!
/please tell me marriage gets better.
//maybe i’ll just buy another tv
Merk, buy a another t.v. A.S.A.P.
Merk, I feel for you man. When my girlfriend turns that shit on I beat the remote out of her. And by beat I mean ask her nicely to change the channel. Usually I just end up reading WL. I can’t believe people watch that shit.
Is Brees giving us his “Bradshaw Face”?
