Monday Night Football Live-Blog: Arizona vs. San Fran 1st Quarter
Monday, September 10, 2007
We're live from newly named Bill Walsh field, and my hands are about to fall off.....hope you can stick around for at least the first half.
10:31- Mike, Mike and Mike are live and in-person (I think) in San Francisco.
The 9ers punt it away and it will be Leinart and the Cards' ball when we come back.
"I'll make the first "Who's got the number of a good divorce attorney?" joke of the 2nd game."- Jeremy
Huzzah!
LEINART IS PICKED!!!!!!!!!!! Walt Harris gets the INT (ex Redskin BTW)
9ers Ball.....1st and Goal
What the hell did Ditka just say??? I honestly didn't understand a word of that.
Touchdown Gore! 7-0 Niners. That was quick.
"What's the over/under on number of plugs for the (god awful) radio show? I say 46. "- Odessa Steps
OVER!
10:43- I'm with everyone in the comments.....ESPN if you're reading this.....we can't hear them at all.
Fumble by James! The Cards somehow get it back. Seriously......someone please tell me what in the hell Ditka is mumbling about!!!!!
Leinart passes to no one in particular and the Cards are punting. Buzzsawarific!!!
"Quick hit: Theismann or Greeny. Seriously."- Bstone
Death. Seriously though??? F me.....I'll tell you after the game, but it could very easily be Theeeeezman.
10:50- Gore on the screen and that was too easy.
"Right now they look a little discombobulated out there....the Cards."- Mike Ditka, Whoa.....big words!
BONNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
"She thought about changing her name to Mike for the occassion."- Greenberg
"We'll just go with Micah."- Bernstein
HOLY CRAP! Ditka just freaked out with Adrian Wilson blitzing. His voice cracked like a teenage boy.
10:57- Leinart does nothing again and the Cards punt, but a roughing the passer penalty is called on P-Diddy.
7-0 at the end of the first.....wow that was a quick quarter.....see you in a new thread.

That's "Glamour Boy Matt Leinart," AA
what's the over/under on number of plugs for the (god awful) radio show?
I say 46.
Matt, unlike Paris Hilton, its not easy to fit that thing in there.
Uh oh, the 80 million dollar man picked off!
I can't understand a freakin' word they're saying.
Dikta is not speaking in complete sentences.
I love the guy. My Dad was a EX with him at Pitt.
greenberg sounds like the "boom goes the dynamite" kid, he's really overmatched trying to do an NFL game
Oh well. Maybe John David Booty will live up to the ESPN Hype.
Jesus, I can't hear Greenberg or understand Ditka. Wow, this sucks.
Jesus, I can't hear Greenberg or understand Ditka. Wow, this sucks.
I can hear Kiper saying "Josh David Booty" already, over and over again for an entire weekend.
Just like he did with Kyle Boller.
I'd much rather listen to Mike Gottfried and Pam Ward stumble through this game than listen to Mike Greenberg's voice that only dogs can hear.
Maybe Matt Leinart's arm is sore from throwing all of those Cardinals blankets from the NFL.com Store warehouse.
Greenie doesn't know it, but he's a pioneer. He's paving the way for women to join the booth in calling professional football games. Kolber's got more bass in her voice than that high pitched, whiny metrosexual. I hope Tafoya and Kolber are at least getting paid more to work the sidelines of the "A" game.
Quick hit: Theismann or Greeny.
Seriously.
I wonder they purposefully gave Greenberg the game in SF to do.
just saying.
Ditka, Ditka, Ditka.
Didn't Bryant Young play with Hacksaw Reynolds and Fred Dean?
Charles Haley?
I just realized. ESPN had a Michigan Homer in the first game. So ESPN needed a Notre Dame Homer in the second.
It's ESPN's version of "Fair and Balanced."
He sounds like Marv Albert, if Marv's head was shrunken down to a third of it's normal size.
"Didn't Bryant Young play with Hacksaw Reynolds and Fred Dean?
Charles Haley?"
No. Bob St. Clair
"you gotta get their nose in the butt?"
What?
Greenberg wants to play two hand touch football with Dan Bunz.
That might get him "discombobulated"
"classic Frank Gore" - Greeny
Frank Gore is 24 years old.
"she thought of changing her name to Mike for the night" - Greeny on Bernstein, how clever.
Normally, the color analysts aren't supposed to speak over the play-by-play guy in the middle of play. But tonight I don't mind.
You know, when Bonnie Bernstein is far and away the most talented member of your announcing team, you might want to pack it in and call it a career.
"Steve Breaston went to Michigan."
--Mike Tirico
Is the person responsible for the sound mix an 83 year old Grandmother?
Greenberg makes Bryant Gumbel sound like John Facenda
"He's voice cracked like a teenage boy."
Is it getting past your bedtime?
Hell, he makes Pam Ward sound like (pre-"retirement") Keith Jackson
The Cards of 2007 look like that Cards of 2006.
The stench of Denny Green is all over this team.
"There may have been better (college football) quarterbacks in the history of the sport (than Matt Leinart)."
Yeah. I can a couple dozen.
What is worse so far...Greeny or Leinert?
Did Ditka just say that you want your best tackle on the right side because you run to that side?
Huh?????????????????????????
I know 31 NFL teams that would disagree with him.
Leinart, because he's trying.
rarified???????
forte
my ears are bleeding
Is Greenberg doing the game from inside a saltine box?
