ESPN trotted out former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre on Tuesday. The network was putting on a show for advertisers and Favre was there to hype Monday Night Football, which ESPN has handed over to Sean McDonough, following Mike Tirico’s departure.
McDonough will team with Favre’s old pal and lover of every player who ever stepped foot on a football field, Jon Gruden.
How does Favre fit it?
The revamped Monday Night team’s first broadcast will be the Hall of Fame game between the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts on August 7. The Packers are being forced to play in that contest because Favre is headlining the 2016 Hall of Fame class.
