Davante Adams and Stefon Diggs mocked Booger McFarland’s mistake on MNF

“They might as well let me commentate.”

While ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast improved just with Jason Witten’s departure, it hasn’t been totally free of criticism.

This season’s opening broadcast was marred by an oddly yellow down-and-distance graphic that the network changed mid-game due to fan outrage. Booger McFarland also hasn’t been the most insightful analyst at times. He raved about Bengals coach Zac Taylor in a blowout loss. And he’s quick to drop blanket cliches in place of analysis, basically ignoring what’s taking place on the field. Or, simply, he’s just flat-out wrong.

But one commentating blunder from Monday’s Chiefs-Chargers game in Mexico City even had NFL players complaining about McFarland’s performance.

Packers receiver Davante Adams mockingly tweeted that McFarland said games are lost more than they are won in the league, which, uh, can’t be correct math.

Vikings receiver Stefon Diggs was just about ready to jump in the booth and give broadcasting a try.

Hey, maybe it’s worth a shot. Greg Olsen worked some games for FOX during bye weeks and did a solid job. Either way, Monday Night Football can use some repairs.
