I look forward to Fox Mulder threads every week about the Booger diabeetus crane.

quote:

A lot has been said about ESPN’s experiment with a three-man broadcast booth for Monday Night Football.

Most of it hasn’t been positive.

From admitted rookie mistakes to a gaining a host of social media critics, Jason Witten has taken a lot of heat for being bland, awkward and sometimes inaccurate with his analysis.

His color commentary partner on the broadcast Booger McFarland has been more warmly received, but catches flak for his “Boogermobile” gimmick that seems to serve no legitimate purpose but to obstruct the view of paying customers.

The response to play-by-play man Joe Tessitore is lukewarm at best, leading to an overall general disdain for the “Monday Night Football” broadcast.

That’s apparently not stopping ESPN from bringing back the entire show for next season.

I don't understand the Tessitore hate.

Their plan was to attract non-football fans to the broadcast with halftime performances by mediocre bands and gimmicks galore, apparently.

Purists don't care for it. Strip it down and make it about football again and you will bring back some of your audience.

Last night was the first night in a very long time watching MNF and I have to say that might be the worst I have ever heard for any sporting event I have ever watched on TV.

eta: whomever thought putting those guys on TV together should be fired.

Jason Witten has the gift of saying the obvious things that no one wants to hear.

Booger is dumb as a rock on football strategy - he may be slightly less awkward than Witten but he's at least as bad if not worse overall.

These are the same television executive "geniuses" you defend when I complain about 13 nationally-broadcast Cowboys games every year.

They're lazy and stupid and you can't defend them.

Fiance has a general dislike for football, but shell watch the Saints with me because I like it. She even couldnt stand listening to those clowns talk last night. Its a joke and a travesty.

They should suspend Booger over the field attached to the sky cam.

I still don't understand why booger needs to be wheeled up and down the field on that boom. It would help the awkwardness and flow if he was just in the booth with the other two since the producers insist on it being a three man team at all times


and why are we still being shown mediocre music videos from shite "musicians" at halftime? Is there a single person watching MNF that was excited about last nights music?

Just put booger in the booth. It’d probably help Witten too.

I thought maybe the ridiculous “white men cant jump” last night would have ensured that Witten wasn’t on MNF next year.
