Now we have the losers they are trotting out there night after night. Those guys don't have a clue. The same could be said about Monday Night Football. I long for the days of Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell, and Dandy Don Meredith. Even John Madden was great in his day as well. How the mighty have fallen... Heard the craziest story about Johnny Carson from a Mike Rowe podcast the other day. Google about when he was basically kidnapped and sentenced to die by the mafia.

Yeah, he wasn't great, but he was above average. You could tell he didn't like being with booger but did his best with it. Chemistry does matter 9 minutes ago, Danger said: I like the Tennessee Titans radio guy, Mike Keith, dude is super underappreciated. I like this guy a lot, I would be on board ESPN needs to just go to Dan orlavsky and Pat mccafee with an experienced play by play guy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. I was just thinking it would be interesting to hear the differences in how Brett and Peyton look at a particular situation in a game. Two different ways to get the same job done.

Chuck80 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 My choices would be Tony Romo, Louis Riddick and Gus Johnson with Andrea Kramer as sideline reporter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky_rams Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I think that Joe Thomas would be good in the booth. hes been solid during his time on TV. I think that he would be a good color commentator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlovsky not so much because he’s a tool. This might be weird but I don’t think they’d give it to McAfee because he was a punter so they may feel like his color commentary won’t be as legitimate steve levy and mcafee would be great. I’d like Joe Thomas on there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riddick, Greg Cosell (who i think is the brightest mind out there in terms of breaking down nfl plays) with maybe Levy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
