Rejoice: Danny Kannell to draw paychecks again

CBS Sports’ college lineup of play-by-play/color/sideline groupings has been announced for the 2018 season. And, there is a name that is sure to draw the ire of...well, nearly everyone not affiliated with an ACC program.

Danny Kannell.

First, the units:

Play-by-Play/Analyst/Reporter

Carter Blackburn/Aaron Taylor/John Schriffen

Rich Waltz/Aaron Murray/Cassie McKinney or Amanda Balionis

Dave Ryan/Corey Chavous

John Sadak/Randy Cross/Sheehan Stanwick-Burch (Navy)

Ben Holden/Jay Feely/Tina Cervasio (Army)

Jason Horowitz/Danny Kanell or Ross Tucker

Following ESPN’s disastrous personnel moves of the previous 18 months, where Kannell (and then some genuinely talented folks) got exiled away from the sweet narcotic glow of television lights, Danny had to cool his jets online for a season.
