If ESPN wants to bring in a quality booth for Monday Night Football, something it's failed to do of late, these five names would instantly accomplish that.

predicted that candidates to replace Tessitore and McFarland already work at ESPN.

All four of the guys Marchand mentioned would be fine, I guess. Levy is a veteran play-by-play guy, Riddick is good at everything he’s done at ESPN and Orlovsky appears to be on the rise at the network. But MNF has lacked gravitas and a big game feel in the booth since Mike Tirico left for NBC and ESPN knows it. It’s why it reportedly pursued big names like Al Michaels, Peyton Manning, Tony Romo and Drew Brees.

Here are five other names that would help make Monday Night Football the widely respected brand it deserves to be.ASSOCIATED PRESSThe Hall of Fame quarterback already works Monday Night Football games, calling the action on Westwood One radio with Kevin Harlan. Hiring either would instantly give ESPN its best talent on the program is years. He’s also an analyst on NFL Network, so he could help ESPN as a talking head on analysis shows as well. The former St.

both Burleson and Warner, per Marchand, and either would be a much more inspired choice than any of their internal candidates.... [+]Instead of trotting out college football play-by-play guys from within—Eagle has called NFL games on CBS since it re-acquired rights in 1998 and has been an excellent and commanding presence ever since, now calling playoff games as its number two play-by-play announcer behind Jim Nantz.

If ESPN is going to go outside the box like it’s done in the past with Witten or Tony Kornheiser, at least do it in a smart way. Hiring Kimes as a hybrid sideline reporter and analyst, would be genius. If you’ve listened to her talk football onor on various ESPN shows like Dan Le Batard’s, you already know she can bring it in insightful and light-hearted ways. If you’ve read any of her articles or listened to her on ESPN Daily, you know she can interview players on the field as well.

So white 🤮

Sorry Forbes, but MNF is dead forever and it's never coming back. It succeeded b/c it's original set-up was a sitcom. Howard Cosell & Dandy Don were an odd couple who went toe-to-toe in prime time with the actual Odd Couple Show & Sanford & Son. Roone Arledge understood

No way! PatMcAfeeShow has my vote!
