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.

Is Greenberg doing the game from inside a saltine box?

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

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.

I wonder they purposefully gave Greenberg the game in SF to do.

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.

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.

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.

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.
