Monday Night Football commentator Dennis Miller spoke exclusively to Chicago's One-On-One Sports today about his new role in the booth on Monday night. Chicago's One-On-One Sports hosts Jay Mariotti and Jim Litke asked Miller about his performance, his comments about Titans owner Bud Adams, and how fans have reacted to his unorthodox style: On how he's handling all the media attention: "I'm just staying out of the way, I'll let America judge; everyone has an opinion; I've been staying away from newspapers and talk radio which I usually listen to at least 4 hours a day it seems, but it's too pressurized a job to hear people abuse you on a regular basis." On his performance: "I think I'm getting wood on the ball, I'm keeping the at bat alive. I'm having a blast, I can't believe I walk into the booth and have this seat on the 50 yard line. I'll be honest with you: before the Canton Hall of Fame Game, I had only been to one football game in my life. I went down on the field yesterday and it was first time I had been on a football field." On his comments regarding Titans Owner Bud Adams: "I don't know what was happening with Bud; it's the same thing with women who have overnight breast augmentations - I guess we're all supposed to act like nothing has happened. I was just looking at Bud saying to myself is that like a bad haircut or a rug? What does Bud care - the guy owns a football team for God's sake." On if the league and the fans are ready for his sarcastic style of broadcasting: "I'm not sure but I'm perfectly willing to be fired if they're not, I don't have any qualms about that. I have a great job at HBO, I'm not trying to be a martyr, I just do what I do. I'm not going to be bullheaded bull·head·ed adj. Foolishly or irrationally stubborn; headstrong.

The FCC was created under the U.S. constraints; within those confines, though, I am going to do exactly what I do. Believe me I'll handle it with a nice degree of aplomb if they come up and say hey listen we think you're O.K. but you're not for us, you're whacked. It's like G. Gordon Liddy George Gordon Battle Liddy (born November 30, 1930) was the chief operative for White House Plumbers unit that existed during several years of Richard Nixon's Presidency.

To have him give me a high five at the end of the game, I was never an athlete, so I can't tell you what it means to me to have guys like Dan and Al lean over and say nice job.
