ESPN announced Monday that Steve Levy (play-by-play), Brian Griese (analyst) and Louis Riddick (analyst) will serve as the network’s top commentary crew for Monday Night Football this season. Lisa Salters will return as a sideline reporter and John Parry will continue serving as an officiating analyst.
Levy, Griese and Riddick will call the Denver Broncos’ season opener against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 14 (8:10 p.m. MT). Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN’s top college football commentators, will serve as the network’s secondary crew for MNF this fall.
Fowler and Herbstreit will call the Pittsburgh Steelers-New York Giants game (5:15 p.m. MT) before the Denver-Tennessee clash in Week 1.
Levy, Griese and Riddick also covered the Broncos’ season opener last year when Denver faced the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders on ESPN. The Broncos lost that contest 24-16 on the road.
Denver will be looking to start the season on a better note this year. The Broncos are considered 1.5-point betting favorites against the Titans.
