Or so Tony Kornheiser of PTI fame described his replacement, Jon Gruden, on ESPN’s Monday Night Fooball. Gruden perfected his tan as head coach of the Tampa Bay Bucanneers for seven years and won one Super Bowl with the franchise before being fired this offseason. The Washington Post quoted from Kornheiser’s statement: “If I could handpick a replacement of a football guy, I would cast a net and drag in Jon Gruden. He is…
After a 295-day hiatus, Tony Kornheiser is back live on the Washington airwaves. This morning, The Tony Kornheiser Show aired on Washington Post Radio (WTWP, 1500 AM and 107.7 FM). Kornheiser was lured away from Sports Talk 980 (his previous employer) and Dan Snyder’s Red Zebra Broadcasting by a generous 3-year contract from WTWP.

Local media personality Tony Kornheiser has worn many hats in his lengthy career, but can best be described as a “media personality” or a “talking head”. His roots in Washington run deep, from his Washington Post column (which, to be fair, has thinned out considerably since its debut in 1979) to his quirky, irreverent radio show on local station WTEM. He is the co-host of the enormously popular ESPN television program, Pardon the Interruption,…
Geezers need excitement. And for two of them, Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell and former Redskin/now-Viking QB Brad Johnson, ESPN’s Monday Night Football premiere will be providing it as these two NFC foes duke it out at FedEx Field tonight at 7:30 p.m. For Washington, who miffed and mussed and stunk their way through the preseason, all eyes will be on the offense. Widely deemed a depthless liability toward the end of last year, a heavy…
The Washington Redskins kick off their regular season tonight against the Minnesota Vikings at FedEx Field. Last week, the Richmond Times-Dispatch took a look at what the Redskins organization — including players, coaches, and staff members — wolfed down during the squad’s three-week training camp in August: That group of 140 or so people, 88 of whom are players, chewed through 1,200 pounds of sliced deli meats, 1,500 pounds of chicken breasts, 1,200 pounds of…
