ESPN Reportedly Has a New Monday Night Football Crew
Published:
If we do get football in the fall, ESPN will have a new Monday night crew for us.
Out goes the Joe Tessitore/Booger McFarland pairing, in comes this trio, according to Jim Miller:
Hearing: New @NFL_MNF booth: @espnSteveLevy @briangriese @LRiddickESPN 2nd game @steelers vs. @Giants @cbfowler @KirkHerbstreit (If college football season is cancelled, this could change)

Quality group.
Quakertown native Louis Riddick is very good on Get Up and other ESPN shows. Always appreciate his analysis and insight. Levy is a respected veteran and Griese has been doing football broadcasts with the network for more than a decade now, going back to 2009.
The NFL season is set to kick off on September 10th, with a Thursday night game between the Chiefs and Texans. The first Monday night features a Steelers/Giants and Titans/Broncos doubleheader, and the new trio is apparently calling the second game, which seems a little odd, but who knows.
Either way, big upgrade over Booger and Tess (and Jason Witten before them).
