Report: ESPN goes with Fowler/Herbstreit, Levy/Riddick/Griese for Week 1 MNF - ProFootballTalk

ESPN is planning a familiar two-man booth and a new three-man booth for the Week One Monday Night Football doubleheader.

For the first Monday night game of 2020, Steelers at Giants, ESPN will use its prime time college football pairing of Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, according to author James Andrew Miller. For the second game of the doubleheader, Titans at Broncos, ESPN will use Steve Levy, Louis Riddick and Brian Griese.

It’s unclear whether ESPN has formalized its plans for the entire NFL season.

Good choice.
I like them on the college games, so will be interesting to see how they do on a NFL game.

I’m a Riddick fan. He’s very objective and knows the game

I totally agree. A much better team than they have had in years. Monday Night Football is the only thing I will watch on ESPN, so it is nice to see that the broadcasting will be improved.

Riddick is the man

Interesting. There's some solid upside there, let's see how they screw this up.

Agreed. Riddick would make a great #1 analyst. I think ESPN's issue is they can't find a #1 play-by-play guy, so they're rolling out the established team of Fowler & Herbstriet.

Love me some Herbie and Fowler.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Huge upgrade. Only took them about 15 years to get some talent back in the booth lol

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

Good, I'm a big Herbstreit fan. He and Jesse Palmer are as good as there is in the business (besides Nantz) in my opinion. Both are unbiased, well informed, and knowledgeable.

I like Fowler too
