One word . I'm in !
Despite the fact that it is still the pre-season I got my first taste of Jon Gruden in the box tonight and I loved it .
Believe it or not the meaningless Monday Night tilt between the Ravens and Jets tonight was kind of entertaining . Not because it was the ' quote machine ' Rex Ryan's first appearance against his old team , or because it was the first real test for jets first round rookie photo shoot . I mean quarterback . ( sorry ) The reason ? Jon ' Chucky ' Gruden was in the house . I think this is going to work .
Now I've always considered Mike Torrico to be an admirable sports caster . Always informed , always well prepared , speaks well , ( obviously ) and always seems to be genuinely exited about the contest at hand . Regardless of the sport . Not to mention he IS a Syracuse grad . But to me one of his best qualities is his ability to mediate between two loudmouths with big egos , a la the great James Brown . I think old Mike is enjoy this particular setting .
We already know what Ron Jaworski is all about and now we have the ultimate football fan in Jon Gruden in there with them . Awesome . Good old ' Chucky ' the grinder himself . I love a color guy that actually knows the ins and outs of the game , which Gruden most certainly does . I'm really looking forward to some titanic arguments between he and Jaws . They have played nice so far but you know it's only a matter of time M.T. is doing his best not to laugh his ass off at these two NFL know-it-alls .
I can't freaking wait . Monday nights just got a lot better in my book .
