Ranking 6 options for ESPN now that Tony Romo won’t be in the Monday Night Football booth
HOUSTON – NOVEMBER 23: ESPN Monday Night Football cameras point during the game between the Tennessee Titans and the Houston Texans on November 23, 2009 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Titans won 20-17. (Photo by Stephen Dunn/Getty Images) …
All that speculation about Tony Romo leaving CBS for the greener pastures of Monday Night football was for naught. Romo is hanging around CBS for the foreseeable future — as anyone would if they were offered $17 million per year — and ESPN has to figure out what material changes — if any — will be made for their flagship football program.
Before we start all the speculating, here are the rules:
The potential color person must not be tied to another network for work on game day. Nate Burleson has shown some great personality and may be a good option but he’s tied to CBS on Sundays.
There will be a preference for ESPN personalities. See, it’s a lot cheaper to move people in-house than it would be to hire someone from the outside. Of course, there will be non-ESPN personalities on the list, but they will probably come at more of a cost.
We won’t be dealing with current players either. Tom Brady isn’t going to be in that booth. Greg Olsen is signed to a nice contract with the Seahawks. This is not a reverse Jay Cutler situation where Cutty signed on with Fox and then came back to the NFL.
Let’s get to it.
