I hated gruden when he coached but now after that game I love him, He really seemed to stick with the panthers, and he also said Jake Delhomme is a good quarterback which means a lot coming from a rival coach. He had nothing but praise for the panthers. And he was better at the commentary than those other shmucks in the booth. ESPN announcers don't know anything.

thought Gruden fit in well with Jaws-as a contrasting style--Jaws being the 'analytical-break it all down stat stiff' that he is and Gruden being able to just speak things down into grass roots realities of football....good combination i thought. Tirico seemed like he was just along for the ride---being amused by the exchanges b/t Chucky-n-Jaws...

I like Jaws, but he always thinks he's absolutly right no matter what. So when Gruden kept picking with him I thought it was hilarious. Gruden is definatly an upgrade from Tony "bland without sugar" Kornflakes. I can't wait to hear him cover the Panthers vs Cowboys MNF game in wk 3 of the regular season.

I liked that he called Smittie Freddy Kruger. I like stuff like that, I thought he did a good job overall. though I am interested to see what he says when the Bucs are on the field. It will suck if he slobbers all over them, though I can not see him doing so since he was let go and did not leave on his own.
