It was the opening night of the draft, about an hour before the picks began, and Terry McDonough saw he had a text from his brother, Sean.
The Cardinals’ vice president of player personnel had known that Sean was a candidate for play-by-play voice of ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” – “I thought he had a good chance,” Terry said – and confirmation was staring at him from his screen.
“I know you’re busy with more important things right now but I just wanted to let you know they are offering the job and I’m
going to take it,” Sean texted his brother.
