Not the point.  

The guy doesn't have what it takes to be an NFL broadcaster.  

Guys like Tony Romo were born for it.  Manning wasn't.  

You just don't like Peyton's southern draw. We get it.

Bro, you're basing this off of voices? What about Aikman?

MNF needs to start by getting some interesting games again....Here were the 2019 games. (Trying to not use hindsight too much but you kinda have to as the season progresses because that's what you'd think about the game at the time rather than pre-season)

Texans/Saints...Not bad
Broncos/Raiders....No
Browns/Jets....LMAO
Bears/Skins....LMAO
Bengals/Steelers....LMAO
Browns/9ers....Meh
Lions/Packers....Meh
Patriots/Jets....Pats always sell....Jets blow
Dolphins/Steelers....LMAO
Cowboys/Giants.....Rivalry so decent
Seahawks/9ers....great!!!
Ravens/Rams....Meh
Vikings/Seahawks....good
Giants/Eagles....Meh
Colts/Saints....Meh
Packers/Vikings....good

So out of 16 games, 5 MAYBE 6 were interesting and the others were uninteresting or jokes.

NBC/SNF gets all the big games now. I doubt Michaels and Manning can make Bears/Redskins or Dolphins/Steelers must see TV,

Could you imagine Romo diagnosing a play while Carr is under center.  Romo: "If the safety comes up look for..."  Peyton interrupts: "Its 3rd down so he is going to throw it away."  Can I please get those 2 together for just 1 game.

So I'm assuming by "trade for" what they really mean is "buy" right? 

And on that note why the hell would Disney think NBC would have any interest in trading probably the biggest name in NFL broadcasting there is... Dude is widely viewed as one of the all time greats and is easily one of the most recognizable and well known (and well liked) broadcasters alive... And Disney thinks NBC is just going to sell him to them? I don't get it... Disney really thinks they can buy anything I guess

This would be 100x better than Booger (no commentary at all would be 100x better than Booger). Last season I thought Al really started to struggle though... I think NBC might be ok with this and replacing him with Tirico.

In terms of Pat McAfee, don't think he suits prime time. He's entertaining, but he is just an idiot. He suited WWE, I miss him from their coverage to be honest.
