Young did an amazing job on MNF. Always had great insight. What a fricking joke

Young probably cost more and worked like 2 hours a week.

Watch for turnovers.

Time of possession will be crucial.

It comes down to special teams.

I'm concerned about injuries.

Avoid penalties


Home field advantage.


Same ol shiat every game.

Yeah, I feel like to save $ having someone like RG3 who also does college football helps.

I’m not sure Young did anything else other than Monday Night Countdown.

Steve was hired when ESPN was very profitable, so he likely had a heavy legacy contract. RG3 was not.

It was a corporate decision, but likely had nothing to do with either person’s skin complexion.

He'd do 5 minutes on PTI. Even Young said he only did the job because his partners at his firm thought being on TV was good for business.

I know someone who works with Steve Young in his real job. Young did ZERO preparation for broadcast, not to say he was bad at it.

But he has that catchy phrase, that he definitely does not overuse all!

"more moves than a military family"

Well experience matters when trying to get a different insight from the other 5 people staffed all saying the same thing.
