I think this is great news. In fact, it might get me watching Monday Night Football again, even when the Colts aren’t playing.

I listen to Kornheiser on my way to work. Er, on mornings when I’m running a little late, that is.

For sports reporter/commentator, sports only makes up about 40 percent of the guy’s shtick. It’s also about 30 percent literate rock n’ roll history, 20 percent current events and culture, and 10 percent aging-male-JAP-diva caterwaul. And the latter isn’t nearly as annoying as it sounds.

I’m not sure how well he’ll mesh with Mike Tirico (straight guy, consumate professional) and Joe Theisman (raging egomaniac). But Kornheiser’s local show here in D.C. is good stuff. Fun, intelligent sports radio (yeah, it exists!).
