Which made comments by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, on ESPN Radio Milwaukee Monday, all the more jarring. When asked about who he likes on TV, Rodgers didn't just knock Tony Kornheiser's role on Monday Night Football, which ended after the 2008 season — he piled on.

Rodgers wasn't zeroing in on specific things Kornheiser ever said. Instead, Rodgers took a more sweeping view of Kornheiser: "He's terrible. … I don't think he's funny. I don't think he's insightful. I don't think he knows anything about sports."

(But then, Rodgers also suggested that even former NFL players aren't exactly qualified to critique NFL quarterbacking: "You look at Marcellus Wiley up there talking (on ESPN) about quarterback play. The guy was a defensive end for a few years in the league. He's not any good."

And it's not that Rodgers felt that he was being hard on Kornheiser because only those who've played or coached sports should be used as TV game analysts. Rodgers says comedian Dennis Miller "was one of the worst MNF guys ever. … And he was 10 times better than Kornheiser. His stuff was actually funny."

ESPN and Kornheiser Tuesday declined comment.

Rodgers might be tempted to become a full-time media critic soon given that Brett Favre, assuming he'll retire sometime in the next decade, is now the NFL's hottest on-air TV prospect.
