Big news out of the broadcast world. ESPN has the now annual Monday Night Football doubleheader, and on Tuesday they released the names of who will call the latter game. The “A” crew will call the Steelers-Washington game at 4:10 p.m. PT, but the B crew for the 49ers-Rams game will be Chris Berman and Steve Young, with Lindsay Czarniak handling sideline duties.
I’m pleased with these decision. Well, to a certain extent. Berman can be obnoxious in play-by-play these days, but getting Young on as the color commentator is fantastic news. He is incredibly knowledgeable and articulate, and he has history and relationships with the 49ers to provide some useful context.
