New MNF Announcers
 
Louis Riddick is solid at least.

ESPN is reverting to a three-man booth for its "Monday Night Football" broadcasts this fall.

According to multiple reports, Steve Levy will take over as the play-by-play announcer, becoming the fourth person to hold that title since 2015. The color commentators will be former NFL players Louis Riddick and Brian Griese.

Dayze 07-31-2020 11:46 AM

wtf.


Riddick is head and shoulders above Griese.
just have Levy and Riddick.

Griese?.....wut?

displacedinMN 07-31-2020 11:48 AM

but which one will make stupid yet obvious comments?

ChiefBlueCFC 07-31-2020 11:50 AM

Well pretty much anything was an improvement compared to the way it was the last 2 seasons

cabletech94 07-31-2020 11:52 AM

you'd think for the billions upon billions that the ESPN pays for the monday night rights, they could get an All-Star Announcing team.

but there i'll be, watching still.

Im going griese.

I seem to recall watching a Bama game last year or so where it was a brocast where they didn't have any / zero announcers. Just audio of the fans, and some players via the parabolic mic thingy. it was glorious.

I'd pay a subscription to watch a game on simul-cast where there was no announcers at atll. given my curent home theater doesn't allow me to adjust the center audio to eliminate the commentators.

ChiefsCountry 07-31-2020 11:55 AM

Steve Leavy and Brian Griese. ESPN just moved up its SEC broadcast team to MNF.

I didn’t tune into some of the shit matchups.

It was that bad.

Here’s the thing, who would that be? Who’s in their lineup you’d be excited about? Apparently Manning told them to get bent. LOL

They can't broadcast a Super Bowl. That is why the top talent turns them down.

yeah, i kind of stretched the truth there a bit. realistically i cant watch all the games, but i will tune and watch a bit.

the booger on the lift thing was really really odd IMHO.

Sorry 07-31-2020 12:14 PM

I honestly would’ve liked that punter (name eludes me) Mcafee? do color lol

comochiefsfan 07-31-2020 12:31 PM

Why not Dan Shulman? His voice would be great for football.

MMXcalibur 07-31-2020 01:22 PM

Steve Levy was always a good listen when he was doing NHL on ESPN.
Louis Riddick is solid, and Griese isn't horrendous. If nothing else, it's an upgrade from last year's crew.

I don't mind announcers. Kevin Harlan is top shelf, and Romo has been great IMO. The play by play guys are usually OK, it's the color guys that suck (Looking at you Dan Fouts).

But I don't mind having announcers explain some of the stuff that goes on.

Except he played for the Cheating ****ing Donko Bitch****s. **** Donk Forever.

Agreed

redfan 07-31-2020 01:42 PM

Sounds better than last year.

srvy 07-31-2020 01:48 PM

Booger is gone all is fine.

DJJasonp 07-31-2020 01:52 PM

Gus Johnson would have been good.

i think they would have had to offer him MEGA to come away from FOX.

Chiefspants 07-31-2020 02:36 PM

Really wish they’d move the broadcast back to ABC. I remember Monday Night being a weekly must see event growing up. Since moving to ESPN it’s just been more of an “eh”. Thing.

That is part of the problem. Some still do not get ESPN. Most everyone gets OTA ABC station.

Also why SNF on NBC is a bigger deal.

CaliforniaChief 07-31-2020 04:19 PM

Louis Riddick is amazing. He's A+

Megatron96 07-31-2020 05:27 PM

anything is better than Booger saying Booger things. i like Riddick; he should be a solid announcer. Really just wish that MNF match-ups were good. Too many times MNF is a contest between two teams that no one cares about and have no shot at the post-season.

That is the fault of the intern that goes to the nfl meeting and does picks.

pugsnotdrugs19 07-31-2020 05:54 PM

Don’t like having 3 but solid crew.

FloridaMan88 07-31-2020 05:57 PM

Dan Orlovsky would have been a better choice than Griese.

That would have been fantastic.

Rasputin 07-31-2020 08:36 PM

They should go with Marv Albert.



Also I want to take this opportunity to say **** you to the network that has Dan Farts cover our games.

Am I the only one who liked their play-by-play guy last year? I thought he was pretty solid.

Dayze 08-01-2020 06:42 AM

I actually didn’t mind Tessatore either.


Booger and Witten (the yr prior) was just a wtf for me.


Shoulda kept tessatore and put Riddick in the there.

KChiefs1 08-01-2020 08:08 AM

Orlovsky & Riddick are Mahomo’s. That would have been a great booth.

They do Donk preseason games too, iirc.

Meh. Okay. Definitely an improvement, especially with Riddick. He's solid.

Megatron96 08-01-2020 07:15 PM

Tessatore was good. Had a great voice for it.

Dayze 08-02-2020 04:52 AM

Watching the Texas at Saints replay from last season this morning, and Booger has some amazing insight. Regarding Taylor Hill “ you can get an idea of what the SaintS are going to try to do based on where Hill lines up. If he lines up at TE, he’s gonna block or go out for a route. If he lines up QB he’s gonna go to the read option game or throw it”



I shit you not.
