For some reason, people get upset that it's not some wild and entertaining production. They tried all the gimmicks like Dennis Miller, Kornheiser, and Gruden. We'd all love Tirico, but he's elsewhere. I think this crew is fine, but Griese does talk too much at times. Sean McDonough is a pro at PBP, but they already had him for a while. Who else on ABC/ESPN would you use?

Their is thousands of people to try. It’s like the NFL coaching searches and hiring retreads, just give someone new a shot. Do a national search of local sportscaster, local talk show host, from around the country and find someone new. You can’t make me believe their isn’t someone out there who wouldn’t do a much better job, ESPN is just lazy.

But that's what made Monday night football special for me. It wasnt the regular boring announcer type that do it on Sundays, it was some character guy with a schtick.

Exactly.

MNF hires jokey commentators or interviews celebrities during the game: BACK TO FOOTBALL!

MNF gets back to football: THIS IS BORING!

That being said, I think there are better announcers and analysts to choose from, without resorting to the latest boring retired Cowboy or Giant.
