Monday Night Football is getting another makeover.
The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch reported on Saturday that the ESPN commentary duo of Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland is mercifully going away. They’ll both remain at the network in other roles — Tessitore is ESPN’s lead boxing commentator and McFarland was part of their college football coverage — but no replacement has been confirmed.
When Jon Gruden returned to coaching and Sean McDonough was rescued from his own misery, ESPN went with a trio of Tessitore/McFarland/Jason Witten, with that stupid “Booger-mobile” proving to be one of the more pointless broadcast innovations in recent memory.
