Some seem to like him but I find him to be way too mundane.

I said the same thing when he was hired but he apparently has fans on this board. I hate his voice and he's too argumentative.

He went from calling 11:00 AM Big 10 games to MNF.

He let some producer rub one out in front of him.

I like him. No yelling and doesn’t get in the way of Gruden.

It's unreal, this is national broadcast NFL football for Christs sake.

He sounds bored with these games. He was a great college announcer.

who else could they have gotten? serious question.

wE've already seen what happens when they have to roll out a B team crew earlier this year for the Chargers-Broncos game.

He's having the time of his life!

Rex Ryan probably day dreaming about Beth Mowin's feet?

no yelling?

there is nothing there. no yelling, no emotion, it's like I'm watching Steven Hawking broadcast a football game.

I think McDonough is a huge improvement over tirico, he was so bland and boring.

I think a bigger problem is the games. When I was growing up, MNF was a huge event, and snf was an afterthought. Mnf also had the big time matchups.

Now the roles are completely reversed and mnf is trash. Nbc’s Snf production destroys mnf, and they get the best games too.

The dude called the Warren Morris shot. He's OK in my book.

Sean is at his best when his voice cracks on game-winning plays.

This is what it is, MNF just isn't what it was.

it was a big deal when I was a kid, SNF is what MNF used to be.

didn't they cut a lot of the MNF budget at ESPN?

the old Sunday night games on ESPN weren't that bad. I liked Mike Patrick and Theismann was that guy I got annoyed with but still valued his take.

when they let Tony Kornhole on MNF once ESPN got the rights I thought that sucked.

Agreed, I liked snf back then too, but at the time MNF still had michaels, Gifford and dierdorf and was by far the biggest football game of the week. Now mnf has been eclipsed by snf and even the cbs and fox games of the week.
