For the Love of God, I hope another Network Outbids ESPN for MNF

Christ they have fallen with their announcers. Steve Levy, Brian Griese, Louis Riddick, are fricking terrible…
I wound up switching to Eli and Peyton it was so bad…

It was legit awful. Reminded me of watching a sun belt game on ESPN 7 and not a primetime nationally televised matchup

Brian Griese was calling the game like you would expect the head of public relations for the Seahawks.
He must have said Seahawk domination like 8 times within the final 2 minutes before half

I think the current broadcast team is just fine. They are solid.
This will be an unpopular opinion but O tried the Manning cast for the Saints game and just couldn't get into it. I've enjoyed the Manning cast when it's games not involving my teams, but I was getting annoyed last night when they would ramble off topic and miss commenting on a play. When it's my team I want constant coverage of the actual game.

Agree 100%
ESPN Monday Night Football is a total disaster
Hopefully one of the major networks takes over when the contract is up

Manningcast is the best

What made MNF great back in the day was Howard Cosell doing game highlights at halftime. There was no ESPN, FSN or NBC Sports network that shows highlights everyday so it was the only show that had highlights of every game. It didn't hurt that Howard Cosell, Keith Jackson and Dandy Don Meredith were damn good at what they did!

Listened to some Greg Olsen on the Packers vs Redskins game Sunday. He’s pretty good, provides some fairly unique insight from playing experience. Mechanisms of creating leverage and when certain leverage is valuable for example. And his voice is solid and stands out. He’s been known as high football IQ and he’s good at showing that in the cast. I’d like to see more of him on high view broadcasts

The biggest problem is the matchups suck.
I remember when Sunday night football was on espn and mnf was on abc. Sunday night football was an afterthought and mnf was the big draw. That’s been reversed.

Eli, Peyton and Drew brought it home very nicely on ESPN2.

Yes, the announcing could be better, but there is a bigger problem here.
Not only is MNF no longer the best anticipated matchup of the weekend (that goes to SNF), but MNF is stuck with the matchup and can't hide it or change it.
The Sunday day games... if there is a crappy matchup, they can just stick it on only a few stations. If SNF is a crappy matchup, at least later in the season, they can flex it.
Thursday Night Football has some of the same issues as MNF, but the expectations are lower.
In 2023, MNF will be able to flex later in the season.
All that is to say... the crappier the games, the more important the annoucning becomes, and MNF has had a lot of crappy games of late.

You announcer obsessed guys are weird
Posted on 10/26/21 at 9:57 am to Hangover Haven
Why not just listen to the game on WWL-Radio 870 and turn down the volume on the TV?
Posted on 10/26/21 at 10:01 am to Hangover Haven
Im pretty sure the NFL influences who is on the broadcast so don’t lay the blame all on ESPN.
I’d like to see a pat mcafee & Mina Kimes booth.

My favorites where Al Michaels and John Madden. Probably more nostalgia than anything. You knew Madden was going to say dumb stuff but it was entertaining.
