Hello, Tony Gonzalez. Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Feb. 19, 2014 at 12:45 AM Updated Feb 19, 2014 at 3:45 AM By The Associated Press Posted Feb. 19, 2014 at 12:45 AM Updated Feb 19, 2014 at 3:45 AM » Social News NEW YORK — Goodbye, Dan Marino and Shannon Sharpe. Hello, Tony Gonzalez. Marino and Sharpe will not return to their analyst roles on CBS' "The NFL Today" pregame show. Gonzalez, a recently retired star tight end, will now prep for a turn on the network's pro football coverage. CBS sports chairman Sean McManus said the move to part ways with Marino and Sharpe "was really kind of a mutual decision" and "has nothing to do with any dissatisfaction in the ratings." McManus said he has no single metric by which he measures the success of the pregame show. "It's very subjective," McManus said. "Normally, if somebody's really doing a good job, there's a fairly overwhelming feeling that the person was a good hire, and the show is better than it was without him." Gonzalez is going to go from the field to the studio in a hurry. The former All-Pro tight end who appears destined for a spot in the Hall of Fame in Canton said he was looking for a TV job with all of the major companies that broadcast NFL games. "What really stood out about CBS was it was a comfortable fit from the beginning," Gonzalez said. "The opportunity to work with someone like James Brown — the guy's a legend." Marino, the longtime Miami Dolphins quarterback, joined CBS in 2002. Sharpe was added for the 2004 season.
