Best news I’ve heard so far this off season! Joe buck is hands down the worst announcer in sports. With my work schedule I only watch MNF when the bills play. Now I can watch the 4 pm cowboys or giants game in peace . Since that’s all we get.

[Big Turk]

I don't understand these crazy broadcast contracts. Do these networks really think people are only tuning in to see them? Very few people care.

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

Interesting just in the sense that I would imagine both inked lucrative contracts. Seems ESPN is trying to sing top end talent versus going cheap with guys just starting out like they have the last couple of seasons. Aikman and Buck combined are probably making considerably more than the last years three man booth. It's basically just going to feel like you are watching a fox broadcast i guess.

[Estro]

Glad to see that duo gone from Fox.  Aikman and Buck are so boring and stale. MNF booth was already bad, so I don't expect much different.

 

At least now there's a chance Fox upgrades to a booth that'll actually tell you something insightful.  This is a win for Fox, IMO.

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

Buried in the NY Post article is that ESPN will eventually air 25 games annually by the 2023 season. I imagine that includes at least one playoff if not two annually. Will these be MNF double headers or just regular afternoon Sunday games and a couple late season Saturday games? Maybe some over seas early kick off games?

No Gus Johnson.....sigh........

I think Gus is a decent announcer, but for some reason incredibly overrated by fans. There's more to play by play than emotion and screaming.

 

See Vin Scully, Marv Albert, Dick Enberg, etc etc...

I get it. Don't hate the guy, and he is better than Buck at least

Almost needs the redoubtable Mr. McFarland to liven things up. 🤔

depends on the spot

[zevo]

lots of hate here. I dont mind either of them. I think buck is pretty solid. MNF has been brutal for years. 

[Negan]

Wonder who takes over the top Fox broadcast now that those 2 guys left?

 

CBS and NBC are far superior football broadcasts compared to MNF and Fox.

 

Wish Nantz and Romo called more than 2 Bills games a year.  Technically only 1 scheduled with the playoff game being the other.  Allen is must see TV and he hardly ever gets the national 4pm game

[BillsShredder83]

It's so bizarre to me that people care either way. I don't think they're bad, but I don't find them good either. Outside of liking Romo, and hating Collinsworth, I don't care who it is either way. 🤷‍♂️ just an observation 

[Donuts and Doritos]

They should add Chris Collinsworth & resurrect Dennis Miller in the booth w/ them, then get Booger McFarland on his cherry picker sideline cart to make it the worst broadcast team in history.

[AmishRifle]

I don’t think MNF should be on a cable network.  Broadcast on ABC if you have the rights to broadcast on ESPN.  Not a fan.
