I don't know about y'all, but I'm about to stop watching Monday Night Football. I enjoy Tess, but Booger and Witten may be the worst commentating duo the world has ever seen. Booger literally talked through and interception, and then took the whole next drive (5 minutes or so) saying how bad domestic violence is, which was not only painfully obvious, but just as painful to listen too. Witten looks so damn uncomfortable in the booth, his hair looks painted on, and him talking about his accomplishments that he had against each team playing on MNF is awful television. Not to mention that Witten and Booger can never agree on a single topic besides domestic abuse. Their bickering is terrible. I hope I'm not the only one hoping they replace them at the end of the year.

MNF has been a dumpster fire for years and only worsened when SNF got first pick of the games and ESPN slashed their budget but you seem to still be watching.

don't forget those unwatchable halftime shows

I've never seen MNF have worse announcers, worse production value (relative to the other networks), and worse match ups than I've seen this year.

I used to enjoy Tess. He needs to go back to boxing and maybe some CFB games.

I don't need an announcer screaming after every 3 yard gain on downs like 2nd and 9 acting like someone just broke a 97 yard TD run.

Yeah it’s bad.

The whole domestic violence discussion was horribly timed. It’s like the producers told them to start talking about it, and then one of the most important plays in the game (the interception) happened in the middle of the conversation. Booger paused like “Tess are you going to call the play” then Tess didn’t. Then booger awkwardly kept talking about it while the play was going on.

Probably could’ve just not been talked about altogether and just focused on the game.

Tess is the worst part for me. He is a little over dramatic on plays.

I like Boog. Doesn’t sugar coat and speaks his mind. That being said he might be better off in a more limited role or just as an in studio guy.

THIS. The Genesis halftime show is unbearable... I cringed when Suzy Kolber said after that no-name funk band played last night "Music that's good for the soul." I think every performance from that halftime show has been god awful, besides Lil Wayne, but that's a heavy bias.

The awful animations that they use are cringe worthy. Who signed off on that shite?

Witten is so stiff in the box. Boogers crane is a massive failure. Whoever is responsible for this abortion of a production should be forced to stay up 24 hours a day for 7 straight days and forced to watch every MNF game this season on a loop

Tess and Witten are cringeworthy, I've watched every MNF game this year on mute. Booger is just as bad and the crane is super gimmicky.

Tess has got to learn to tone down, he treats 2 yard runs up the middle the same as he would a game winning hail mary.

Booger is undoubtedly better in the studio. He goes on too long of tangents for a ‘sideline reporter’ or whatever you’d call him.

I agree with many about Tess. He’s too amped up. Tess is the complete polar opposite of Joe Buck now that I think about it

Witten is just terrible. Sounds nervous the majority of the time and uses every cliche in the book.

I miss Gruden and Tirico myself.

I didn't watch. I am done with nationally-televised "NFC East Showdowns."

I liked Booger's tweed sportcoat set off by the orange scarf and pocket square. Festive fall colors.

He's way over dramatic. Boog is fine but he needs to be in the booth. The Booger Cart needs to go the way of the dodo. Also stupid animations are stupid.
