ESPN may have run out of patience. Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reports that Monday Night Football producer Jay Rothman will not return for 2020. So why is this news? As Marchand notes, a new producer may want their own people running things. And yes, that includes commentary. Which means Booger McFarland and Joe Tessitore may be out. Before we go any further, it’s important to note no one besides Rothman has been listed as being moved from MNF—and even that isn’t confirmed. So if McFarland and Tessitore were to go is speculation. But Marchand makes a note that ESPN is looking into prying Tony Romo from CBS Sports. The move would be lucrative to Romo, who has a passion for playing golf and making the cut in PGA events. That would let him hit the links on Sunday and pick up a microphone on Monday. Plus, Romo’s contract is up soon. And you don’t need to compare Romo to McFarland on color; there is no comparison. Romo was a breath of fresh air for his knowledge of the game while McFarland has had two seasons stumbling. read more

MNF still has the best theme music.
But that's about it.

Romo is unmatched as a commentator, and I loved watching him fail as a player.

I'm in the minority but I like Booger.. OMG! Booger is unbearable. I dont talk to the TV often but I found myself talking to the TV whenever he opens his mouth saying "WTF are you talking about? Spike the ball on 4th down? are freaking nuts?!?!" EDIT: I found what I was talking about on youtube...I just typed in "spike the ball on 4th down"

That’s why they won the game.” Or Joe, if Lamar would have completed all of his passes then Baltimore would have won the game. Back to you. Or “You see, Joe, remember the Titans was a movie and the team that beat the patriots and the ravens is named Titans. Back to you Joe.”

Penalties in the red zone are TD killers.

Booger is terrible. But I can't stand Tessitore either. Tessitore is trying to be the radio play by play guy from the Vikings (Allen...) Sounds like him...even has stolen "HE'S LOOOSE!" from Allen... Finding guys to call.NFL games on TV has become difficult Seemed even in the late 70s/early 80s even the guys that got the bottom end games were good ESPN is in a bad spot because they won't ever get a Super bowl and they have been getting the not so good matchups for.prime time(basicly the games where teams that have to get at least one prime spot a year end up)..which is why I can't see Romo jumping ship... Honestly,Terico and Warner called a great game when they did their game on NFL network I would go out of tbe box Get the top college play by play guy...and see if you can pry one of the Mannings (or.both,though we would have a natural drinking game situation with Eli...take a drink every time Eli starts off a statement with "ya know"...

Yes. Tirico and Warner did a really good job. I think either Peyton or Eli would be good, but I think Peyton would be a little better.

Booger is terrible. But I can't stand Tessitore either. Kevin Harlan would be my Choice for play by play. He is spontaneous and funny
