I'm sure it wasn't THAT hard to get out his ESPN contract (love the dude to death, but he was fucking awful on MNF)
Giants 3rd down defense, beware. The big slow is back baby!!

Thank God he is out of the booth. Made MNF unwatchable.
He really did, man. It was terrible. Him and Booger.
He wasn't nearly as bad as Booger in his sideline stair tamer.
As a Giants fan, I feel for my LB's already...smh
what a joke!
He was awful on TV, having him and the NFL crew do the national championship game was the worst.
That hair though.....

As a Redskins fan I thoroughly disapprove of this message.
as a Celtics fan I disapproved of LeBron going to LA but come to find out hes old and we got bigger problems. as a redskin fan I feel what I should have felt for the Celtics. witten is old and the redskins got bigger problems.
Better there than in the booth.
I'm not sure how well this is going to go. I mean he's been away for a year. Can't have forgotten that much, but once you stop that day to day training to get and stay in gameday shape, its really difficult to get it back.
As a lifelong cowboys fan, i cal tell you that he wont skip a beat from where he was a year ago. He was never the fastest or strongest. He beat with his route running, his smarts, and his hands. He is certainly no longer in the prime of his career, but has been away for less than a year and will be fine. Hes also never had injury issues and his leadership alone is huge.
I love having Witten back, man. He's going to burn Giants and Eagles on 3rd and long when he's got no business doing so. One of my all time favorite Cowboys.
I agree with both of you! Witten is one of my favorite Boys too. He is a leader and works hard. And for some reason opponents seem to forget about him. #82 will be welcomed back!
Jones gets to throw way too much money at an old man and MNF gets better by subtraction. Win-win
