OT: McDonough out as MNF announcer.

[Joey007]

Wonder who will replace him

He was enjoyable to listen too, although him and Gruden were a bit of an "odd couple" announcing duo.

McDonough was just way too bolted down to be paired with Gruden.
It was like what might happen if they tried to make a Howdie Doody vs Chuckie movie...with a G rating.

Any news on Fouts?

He definitely had more of a baseball voice. Torico (who is a **** head btw but none the less..) was much better.

Why is he a **** head?

I liked Seagram's Sean.

It shocked me because he seems like a great guy.

Sexual harassment controversy[edit]
Tirico's period at ESPN was not without controversy. Two books about the network, ESPN: The Uncensored History (2000) by former New York Times sportswriter Michael Freeman and 2011's These Guys Have All the Fun (by Washington Post writers James Andrew Miller and Tom Shales), recount allegations of sexual harassment. Tirico, for example, was suspended by the network for three months in 1992 for multiple incidents involving attempted groping, sexual solicitation, and stalking of female co-workers.[37][38]

Following the ouster of NBC colleague Matt Lauer in late 2017 over sexual misconduct, along with other high-profile names in the media industry, the network indicated it knew of Tirico's past when it hired him from ESPN and received assurances from Tirico that he had changed. Thus NBC has no intention of replacing him on Olympics coverage.[39]According to John Wildhack, a former ESPN executive who is now the athletics director at Syracuse, "That happened well over two decades ago and Mike has been nothing but the consummate professional (since)."[40]

That is interesting, had not known that.

I will give him that he seems to have cleaned up his act, as he hasn’t had any known issues in years. You never know anymore though.

I'm guessing espn picks a politically correct announcer...jemelle hill!

 

[Kontradiction]

That’s a shame. I’ll miss hearing the voice of a pubescent 13 year old whenever a big play happens.

He was enjoyable to listen to.

Sure, if you like hearing football called like a baseball game. Seldom was there any excitement in his voice, everything was droll matter-of-fact. I'm glad he's gone.

 

[supafly]

Never even knew that he was the MNF announcer.

Yes, he's moving next door to you and wants to fall asleep on your couch watching football.
