Peyton Manning turns down ESPN and Fox

Peyton Manning has turned down two high-profile opportunities according to the New York Post’s Andrew Marchand.

Manning first turned down ESPN, which wanted him to replace Jon Gruden on “Monday Night Football.” He took some extra time to consider Fox, which bought the rights to “Thursday Night Football.” But Manning turned down Fox as well.

With Manning out of the picture, there are two major holes in NFL broadcast booths for this fall. “Monday Night Football” is considering numerous candidates. Matt Hasselbeck, who was the color analyst for the Pro Bowl, will be a consideration. The Post said Brett Favre is a long-shot candidate. The Post also said Louis Riddick could be added if ESPN goes with a three-man booth. Panthers tight end Greg Olsen also had a tryout, but the Charlotte Observer reported this week that the team expects Olsen to keep playing.

The Post said Fox has no clear Plan B after Manning declined. The network has analysts already on staff already it could consideration for “Thursday Night Football,” and the Post said Kurt Warner, Jason Witten, Carson Palmer and Joe Thomas could be candidates.

I love Manning's insight of the game. I would've tuned in for any game he's commentating.

That boy sounding too enotional so far

Feel like I've posted in here before, but does anyone subscribe to The Athletic? If so, is it worth the pricing?

 

[shogun]

espn always making up their own stats and history to have something to talk about. “first person in their 3rd year to average 10 points, 2 rebs, 3.75 assists, 0.5 steals, and 4 turnovers”. Now they pushing that lebron consecutive games of 10 points or more like people care and it might make him better than Jordan.

I really wonder what these debate shows are gonna talk about when Lebron retires. Every single day First Take, First Thing's First, Undisputed, etc. come up with the most contrived topics about Lebron.

How many times can they cover Lebron's impending free agency? "Are the Cavs legit title contenders", "Does Lebron have a good enough supporting cast to win a title?", "Should Lebron go to the Sixers?", "Is Lebron an MVP candidate?"

People don't get tired of hearing the same topics over and over? It's crazy the number of careers Lebron has made in the last decade.

it is even more of a head scratcher than i thought
greenberg must have photos of higher-up or some kind of dirt
i guess espn is willing to throw cash at these guys just to wake up early and talk about sports that they cover later in the day on other programming

http://awfulannouncing.com/espn/get-hosts-14-5-million-salaries-get-sports-world.html
It’s a big, costly swing for the network, including leasing a 21,000-square-foot studio and office complex in Manhattan’s South Street Seaport and nearly $15 million in talent salaries ($6.5 million for Greenberg, 50; $5 million for Beadle, 42; and $3 million for Rose, 45, sources say). Greenberg has worked with Rose on various ESPN platforms but never with Beadle, who returned to the network in 2014 after less than two years at NBC.

 

[shogun]

It’s basically another sportscenter. They even show the sportscenter top 10. espn must love throwing away money with that show.

 

[macbk]

ESPN+ streaming service sounds like a waste of time. Especially because the standalone ESPN channel isn't even included .

 

[classic94]

Man I turn to espn looking for Golic and wingo and this crappy show get up is on in its place I’m pissed

 

[shogun]

They moved lebatard’s show from espnu to espnews which I don’t have.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Beadle and Greenberg cashing out like that ? Lord

 

[equality]

The problem with these ESPN on air talents is none of them have personality. These old dudes in suits still think the younger generation watches a bunch of robots on TV spewing the same **** over and over again. There's a reason why unfiltered mediums such as podcasts, or youtube personalitiesare popular. Because they say and talk about whatever they want for the most part. The longer they take to figure this out the longer their decline will be

You seriously underestimate how many people enyjoying hearing the same topics day after day

 

[shogun]

Doesn’t matter much to me anyway, Good Morning Football is better than all the espn shows not named highly questionable / lebatard show and ath. Even though it’s the offseason the show is still entertaining.

 

[B Sox]

Football shows are the WORST. Especially during the offseason.

Le betard regularly says on his show that Jim Rome makes over 20m per


——————-

Good morning football is so damn generic! I love the nfl network, but they too are guilty of hiring some flat out CORNY mfs...

 

[RyGuy45]

James Andrew Miller reported few years back Jim Rome makes $30 mil annually, just for his radio show.

 

[shogun]

No wonder lebatard is considering going to sirius. Get dat radio money.
