Marino leaves after 13 seasons with CBS, while Sharpe joined for the 2004 season, giving him a decade on the show.
CBS says recently retired star tight end Tony Gonzalez will join the network as an analyst for "The NFL Today" as well as other programming.

I couldn't understand a word Sharpe said for 10 yrs.

I had no problem with Marino, but thank Christ Sharpe is gone. Gonzalez should be a good fit.

I hope Gonzalez does more like the Chris Collinsworth thing
and actually talks about what is happening ON THE FIELD of play / not just random general information
But actual analytical data / Collinsworth is presently the only NFL announcer I'm aware of that does that

Gonzalez is only going to be part of the pregame/post-game/half time stuff I think. Doesn't Collinsworth do commentating on the game itself?

John Gruden does a good job of this. And he's pretty funny in his own nutball way.

An actual horse can speak more clearly than Sharpe. I had no problem with Marino. But CBS shoulda let Phil Simms go, that frickin' douchesucker.
Collinsworth would suck his own dick on-air if he could. And then he'd draw the last play out for you on his taint while saying "Here's a guy" over and over.

ESPN is WAY ahead when it comes to pre and post-game shows. NFLN and NBC are decent. CBS and Fox are simply clown football (analysis). Terry Bradshaw??????

at Bandle's Collinsworth bit. Imagine if he ever provided color for Buck...

I never liked the Cowboys, but I've been pretty impressed with Aikman as a color guy.

+1 on both counts. I also like Jaws' insight and analysis.
