I'm apparently joining a large bandwagon, but Kornheiser is possibly the worst commentator I can recall being subjected to and the first game of MNF was just painful. I'll have to listen more closely for the real analysis that you heard, since between the yelling, talking over top of each other, idiotic jokes, and extended nonsense about touchdown celebrations (seriously, WHO CARES?), I missed it. If there were a way to hear the crowd and action on the field and mute the commentators, I would have taken it.
Maybe if you know every sports name by heart and can pick up on subtle points in the middle of spittle-filled rants, screaming, and people talking over the top of each other, you can enjoy PTI; if so, you're a better listener than I. I avoid it and the similar afternoon sports shows like the plague, and being subjected to the same broadcast "style" on MNF is going to leave me not bothering to watch the game if it continues to be this dire.
I don't want to blow this out of proportion, but that was possibly the worst attempt at a sports broadcast I've seen since the last time I tried to watch professional wrestling.
