ESPN Gets It Right With Expected 'Monday Night Football' Booth: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. If the reports from over the weekend are true, your new Monday Night Football broadcast team for the 2020 season (if there is a 2020 season), will be Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick.

This is an excellent move by ESPN, which sometimes has a thing for star power instead of a solid nuts-and-bolts broadcast. Personally, I prefer a two-person booth to a three-person booth. Joe Buck–Troy Aikman, Jim Nantz–Tony Romo and Al Michaels–Cris Collinsworth are all excellent teams. Less is more in the NFL.

ESPN likes to think that Monday Night Football is very special, so we get a three-man booth, but I predict this one will have success.
