MNF Fires Booger and Tessitore!
- Thread starter lawcalcock
- Start date
Thought booger and witten were bad when they first started but got better. Booger was much better his second year. Tessitore I can do without
Booger needs to change careers and his nickname.
I never watched MNF while Booger was an analysis. But I saw him on other shows and I can tell you, I don't know how he got such a job.
Can't ever beat Cossell, Dandy Don and Frank.
Agree. Don Meredith was as cool as it got in the broadcast booth. But I'd say John Madden and Pat Summerall were pretty close. And Tony Romo ain't no slouch.
Personally I thought Booger and Tessitore needed their asses kicked big! They were awful. Both good people. But awful in the broadcast booth!
I love making fun of Booger. But, I think people, news channels ,sports channels, are putting to much stock in what people think on social media. Nobody is ever happy on Twitter about anything for example.

Social media would be hating on them big time. If we had it back then.
Absolutely! No announcing team since has come close. The chemistry and personality differences might never be equaled again.
Sounds like a leadership issue where they are allowed to keep swinging & missing trying to put the right folks in these positions.....
Not really a Booger or Tess issue,
mans I like Jeff2001’s Booger/Tess references

Man I must be odd, they never realyy bothered me, there are a lot worse and when I watch I’m have it on to see the game not who’s calling it, not the other way around! Always liked Boog., big Meredeth, Namath, even Bradshaw southern boys calling foosball, great concept, throw in some alcohol and you’ve got magic!
Alex Karus was a one good too. I will never forget the discussion going on about playing on natural grass vs AstroTurf. The question was put before Karus and he said he might be the wrong one to ask because he had never smoked any AstroTurf.
I’m with you on the watch. Noticed the difference by watching old games. Not the wall to wall talking in the booth
Who are they going to replace them with? Based on their recent hires I’m guessing Stephen A. Smith, Mike Greenberg, Robin Roberts, and Dan Le Batard. That would check all their boxes.
All I know is boog was lightyears ahead of whitten, he was totally lost! But like i said everyone has an opinion, some are good some not so much! Will be interesting to see who replaces them! Probably the two most popular people they are already paying, football knowledge be damned
I thought Booger did fine this year. He just got off to a bad start with that weird three man team where they would have Tess and Whitten in the booth with Boog out in the elements freezing trying to give analysis. Booger was, also, not a big-name skill player so I think a lot of people wouldn't give him a chance.
I agree. But Keith Jackson got the shaft. His broadcast skills were unquestioned. Frank Gifford had never done play-by-play in his life before Jackson got pushed out to make room for Gifford. In the end, he did a good job, but not Keith Jackson good. But he was an NFL guy so strings got pulled.
I really couldn't tell you who is on Monday Night Football since I do not listen to them. I just watch for myself and pretty much ignore the noise from the broadcast booth.
The only current sportscaster worth listening to is the color commentary by Cris Collingsworth. He is excellent and knows football, unlike most of the other rubes they put on TV.

One option is actually Herbstriet and Fowler, though it seems like that may be option 2 or 3. They wanted Manning or Romo with Al Michaels. They were turned down by all of those.
Booger was entertaining. He tried to be like Romo by predicting the plays before the happened. Only difference was he was NEVER right. It got comical.
I really don’t care who it is as long as they don’t throw someone like Suzy Kolber on there for the movement crowd. I feel bad saying this but I have zero interest in hear her talk football.

He was better on the SEC Network than Monday Night Football. Definately better in studio giving opinions than calling a live game in my opinion. The best live game analyst in this era are Tony Romo and was Jon Gruden IMO and anyone else is a level back.
I dunno. Firing a booger gotta be hard. You don’t wanna git hit by one.

How awesome would that be !! He’s a self proclaimed football fanatic and it would just be hilarious to listen to . I would LOVE IT !!
Please not Herbie !! All he would talk about is The University of Pickens County and Saint Dabo.
Can hear him now ' "He is at the 45, the 50, the 55" Give Todd his due, he loves the University.
