ESPN needs to find a new play-by-play for "Monday Night Football," a new play-by-play announcer for its second NBA crew, a new on-site host for its golf coverage, a new on-site host for its tennis coverage, one of its World Cup contributors and a frequent college football and basketball announcer.
Mike Tirico does all of that. And, according to SportsBusiness Journal, he's leaving ESPN this summer after his contract expires for NBC Sports.
