ESPN finally realized the star of Monday Night Football is the game, not the booth

After pursuing Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Tony Romo with big bucks, ESPN ended up with Steve Levy, Brian Griese and Louis Riddick. "Two games down, Levy, Griese and Riddick are an upgrade over Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland," says the New York Post's Andrew Marchand. "As compliments go, this is not the greatest one. But it is something. The new trio is not perfect. They are not Romo sprinting out of the gate on his way to $180 million. In football terms, they can block and tackle. They have not been distracting. That’s a win. They are doing it within the limitations of a pandemic. There was no preseason practice. There are no fans. Spotters and statisticians are all six-feet apart or farther."
