Wither Joe Theismann? QB out of Booth for MNF, replaced by Ron Jaworski

Joe Theismann may have been a favorite QB of mine and a former Redskin, but I didn't really care for him in the booth for Monday Night Football.

Today, he's been replaced. From the AP, CNNSI:

"ESPN is changing quarterbacks.

Joe Theismann will no longer be part of the network's Monday Night Football booth and will be replaced by Ron Jaworski, the former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback.

"This new lineup will enhance our presentation of Monday Night Football, our most important property," Norby Williamson, ESPN's executive vice president for studio and remote production, said Monday. "Ron has covered the NFL from many different perspectives, and he is totally tied into the issues and trends from around the league."

Theismann, a former Washington Redskins quarterback, will be offered another analyst job with the network, Williamson said.

Jaworski is known for his studio analysis and ability to break down game tape for viewers. He will join play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico and analyst Tony Kornheiser in the booth. Suzy Kolber and Michele Tafoya will handle sideline reporting."

Sorry, Joe. You'll be okay though...
