Tony and Joe Really Are Great Friends

Really, we are

Following up on yesterday's story about Joe Theismann getting unceremoniously shitcanned from Monday Night Football because of Tony Kornheiser's delicate ego, Dave Hughes at the great blog of DC radio and TV happenings, DCRTV.com is reporting that on his show today on Mormon-owned Bonneville Radio's Washington Post Radio WTWP that Mr. Tony had nothing but praise for Joe:

On his Washington Post Radio show Tuesday morning, Kornheiser said that he liked Theismann, who was officially handed his walking papers Monday by ESPN's Monday night football telecast. "We got along very well. We get along very well." Kornheiser added that Theismann, already a pro in the football broadcast booth, helped him adjust to his new duties as "MNF" color commentator last season. Theismann was "thoroughly professional" and will "get a lot of offers" to do other sports shows, Kornheiser said. "He was very kind to me"...

Yeah right, lots of offers, but as Tony would say, none of them here and all of them worth less baby.

I'm pretty sure future generations will find this tidbit in the DCRTV archives here (the page does not exist yet).
