There is a whole new crew that will be covering Monday Night Football this year, led by Joe Tessitore as the play-by-play man. It was recently announced that former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten was selected to be the color commentator, with Booger McFarland picked as the field analyst.
Richard Deitsch of The Athletic reports that over a six-week period between March and April, Tessitore auditioned 12 candidates to be his color commentator. Witten obviously landed the job, but one of the candidates was retired Browns left tackle Joe Thomas.
