Ex-Washington Post columnist Tony Kornheiser is also now off of ESPN's Monday Night Football, replaced as the third man in the booth by former football coach Jon Gruden.
Kornheiser claimed that the unfavorable travel schedule for the upcoming 2009 NFL season prompted him to ask for his release, other sources are claiming that Kornheiser's departure was not so voluntary. The flippant talker received generally unfavorable reviews from football purists with an entertainment-based style that didn't always translate well into game coverage.
Aside from Pardon the Interruption, what's left for Kornheiser could be a return to sports radio. Unfortunately for TK, WTEM/980 is the only local sports radio option left in town at least until/unless WJFK/106.7 ever decides to pull the long rumored format switch.
