Both sucked, but at least Booger was entertaining from a WTF standpoint. Tessitore really sucked.

Whaaa? You think so?
I really liked Tessitore. He isn't the best out there, but I like how he gets hype on big plays. I thought he was good. Couldn't stand Booger though.
Short of Harlan, Al or Gus, the move will probably be a lateral one as far as play-by-play goes.
ESPN been messing around with these guys since Tirico...should've just gave Gus the bag years ago and been done with it.

Okay maybe Tess' didn't suck more, but I felt his delivery was so forced.

Espn wonders why MNF has lost its’ identity (compared to back in the day) when they keep switching the voices of it every 1-2 years and re starting.

Tess was cool with me. Sounded no different than when he does boxing. Maybe I'm just used to his style

Boog was funny and entertaining. Should’ve capitalized off that. He wasn’t all that bad

this is exactly what was happening. You could see he visibly couldn’t make the throws his mind wanted to make but his body couldn’t. Rivers being so damn stubborn will still try

I saw so many passes last year where it looked like Rivers put all his strength into the ball only for it to go 18 yards.

I honestly feel like this is how it’s always looked with Rivers and his awkward side arm throws.

Gus is great. Used to be on CBS right?
Ian Eagle is solid as well.
MNF should just put McAfee in the booth.

He can see how it does seem like he's a textbook broadcaster who can probably be a professor of broadcasting.
We all just gonna have to lower expectations and admit that the Pat Summerall's of the world probably ain't coming back. You can't teach what these guys had to do coming up with mostly radio gigs.

McAfee is great, and it might be just me, but I don't want it to get old. He should definitely get in on the Sunday rotation though. Primitive might be a lot. Or it could be great...not sure.

He should get a gig, definitely...not sure about straight to MNF...that's exactly how they been f'ing up.
They said they were keeping it internal, right? I don't watch ESPN like that and I'm trying to put together the pool of candidates. Must be plucking from college again though on the PBP...Sean and Tess were some of the better ones, so no clue? Mowins, Fowler?

Nate is a Niner hater, he gets on my damn nerves but he's great at what he does.
I don't know how it would work. Bit I wouldn't be opposed to the entire team of Good Morning... Football running a broadcast.

I got a question about declining arm strength. May sound stupid. So obviously arm strength isn’t just about the arm, it’s about core and leg strength as well, basically a full body motion.
But my question is, if declining arm strength is such a big deal for QBs, why does it seem like these older guys aren’t on serious training regimens? You’re telling me a Rivers or Eli couldn’t have extended the prime of their career when basically it was killed by their arms falling off and either is known for keeping in elite shape
