if if true I think he will do well.

[Bravo]

I heard/ready they still don't know who is going to be on it.... 

 

It it would be cool for him though.

[21isSuperman]

I'd rather watch him talk than Ditka.  And I'd rather watch NFL Network than ESPN pre-game.

[Buck Showalter]

Hey thats awesome, he'll likely be the most articulate voice of the group.

Me too. ESPN Sunday pregame seems so 90's now. It was cool back in the day, but I like NFLN better now.

[MTC]

Good for Matt. Very likable guy.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Glad for Hass. I agree guys, the NFL Network is much better than ESPN overall but it is built around football.

[JPPT1974]

He is indeed likable!

[NorthernBlue]

Good. Haven't seen ESPN Sunday Countdown/Pregame in a while, but i'm sure he'll do well in it. Best of luck Matt! 

[GoColtsWin]

Good for Matt! He'll bring allott of knowledge to the show. Can't have enough X's and O's guys to break things down. He'll be awesome!

[BOTT]

For the love of god, remove Chris Berman.

[BullsColtsFan1]

Good for Matt.  I think he'll do great at that!

Berman was like that Uncle you only see a couple times a year that you think is hilarious when you're a kid. Then you grow up and he's the equivalent of watching an Uncle Joey bit on Full House.

 so true

[pgt_rob]

Hasselbeck retires.

[Archer]

I thought he'd be good at that...

[RockThatBlue]

While I am happy for Matt, ESPN is despicable for why they removed Ditka. But that's for another thread.

 

Congrats Matt.

[Nadine]

Congrats Matt and thanks for being a Colt.

Glad we get to keep seeing you!

[jim scheurich]

Should have made an offer, maybe did, hard to find a good back up

Congrats Matt.

 

For whatever it's worth,  Ditka has not been fired by the network.     Only removed from the morning pre-game show.       What I've read is that he'll be given an emeritus position....   so he'll be a senior NFL statesman.

 

Personally,  I think Ditka is terrible,  but I'm glad he wasn't dumped.    I'm fine with his new position.

 

I think this is a win-win with Hasselbeck getting a really good job....    so happy for Matt!

I would rather watch paint dry than watch Ditka.

I dunno, the NFL network is horrible too.  I would rather listen to Chris Carter and Hasselbeck than Irvin and sanders.

Mike doesnt know anything that occurred after 1995..he's way too removed from the game.

....and he doesn't want to travel to Bristol Connecticut evert weekend.

He said that on ESPN Chicago

 

Matt is perfect for this role and finally we'll get a little more insight on the Colts and Andrew Luck nationally

So few nationally seem to actually follow the Colts

I think this might be the MOST TRUE thing you've ever said!    It's sadly incredibly true!

 

This week, Todd McShay projected Taylor Decker of Ohio State to the Colts,  and if that weren't bad enough,  he said he'd obviously be the LEFT tackle.    He either has forgotten about Castanzo, or thinks last year was the norm and not the exception to the rule.      And yes,  Kiper did the same thing about a month ago!

 

Just frustrates me no end......      Ugh!!
