Pick your dream MNF booth (1 Viewer)

People always complain about who is in the booth on Monday night. I understand that they will never get a group that everyone will agree on, but if the choice was yours, who would you put in the booth? Also, who might you pick to be the sideline reporters?

Greg Gumbel and Troy AikmanSideline: Michelle Tafoya (very underrated - she knows her stuff) and Jillian Barberie :wub:

HowardCosel,Dave Chapel, Sam Kininson.(uncensored)

Sideline reporter

Katherine Bell in something '"comfortable"

 
**** Vermiel needs a nod soon. I liked him a bunch in the game I listened to him call.

 
I like Al Michaels play by play calling. I would pair up Troy Aikman with him. If there had to be a 3rd person in the booth I agree that Vermeil would be a great choice. I've heard Vermeil on radio before he went back to coaching and think he's real good.

I would get rid of the sideline reporters completely.

 
Joe Theeeeeeezman play by play

Joe Theeeeeeezman clone #1 color commentary

Joe Theeeeeeezman clone #2 analysis

Just for one game, I'd love to see how this trio would interact. Seriously. Just one game.

 
How about Rain Man, Forrest Gump and Merrill Hodge?

:yes:

Howard Cosell

Keith Obermann

Evel Kneivel

Sideline Guy - Jesse Ventura

edit - Sam Kinnison should be the sideline guy. Jesse would get too chummy with people in uniform.

Ugh, Greg Gumbel is horrible as a PBP guy. I'd put Kevin Harlan with Jaworski or Collinsworth along with Dan Patrick for some nice, dry humor.

 
I liked Fouts. I thought he was pretty good, despite being paired with Dennis Miller and Michaels. I do like Jaws but I suspect he's not a good booth guy.

She seems to have all the credentials of a top shelf commentator

Am I wrong, or was it Jaws and Vermeil for the late Monday night game opening week.If so, big :thumbup: for both of them. They provided good football information that increased my enjoyment of the game.

They'd kill each other.
 
I know I'll probably be shot for this, but I'd like to bring Dennis Miller back on a limited basis. Not up there in the booth the whole game, but he could definitely replace these yahoo actors they're bringing in for 30 minutes every Monday.

Every week he would say/do at least one thing that all my friends laughed about for the entire week... Throwing the bat at Clemens was priceless. Dude's brilliant, but three hours was just too much time.

And, besides, I would rather listen to him for three hours than Joe Buck or the crap crew they've got goin on now...

 
Play by Play - Pick one between Ray Scott, Curt Gowdy, Charlie Jones or Lindsey Nelson (I know, none were ever on MNF, but all 4 are some of the best play by play guys in history.)

Color - Howard Cosell

Analysis - Pick one between Dan Fouts, Troy Aikman, Steve Young or Merlin Olsen

Out of those, my personal favorties would be Ray Scott, Cosell, and Steve Young.

In the booth...Merril: "Welcome to Monday Night Football. I'm... um... um... dang, I knew a minute ago!"

Forrest: "My name's Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump."

Raymond: "I'm an excellent driver. Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway. But not on Monday, definitely not on Monday. So I'm here on Monday."

Merril: "What a night for football! I love football! I sure hate the Eagles! I think they'll lose by 30!"

Forrest: "Mama always said a football game is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

Raymond: "'Course, fifty-three minutes to Wapner..."

Merril: "Boy, do I miss playing on Monday nights?! You know, I got 6 of my concussions in Monday night games. Good thing I retired before they affected my mind for the long term. Good thing I retired before they affected my mind for the long term. Good thing I retired before they affected my mind for the long term. Good thing I retired before they affected my mind for the long term..."

Forrest: "Mister Merril, you awright? My Mama always said you've got to put the past behind you before you can move on."

Raymond: "Uh oh fart. Uh oh fart."

Ah yes, what a crew

Best post I have seen in a long while :lmao:
 
I can't believe people give credibility to sideline people. IMO they are as usless as the "in the booth" guests.

 
In addition to my dream MNF crew, I would like to add as my dream radio MNF announcer of all time would be Cawood Ledford (former play by play announcer of Ky basketball and football).

 
Al Michaels and Aikman sound good.

No sideline reporter at all.

If something comes up from the field just let the booth guys take care of it.

 
If we are talking about current personalities that could be put in the booth:

1. Mike Patrick (play by play)

2. Mike Golic

3. Mike Greenberg

Rock solid. :yes:

 
the home team's radio play by play guys in the first half, visitors in the second.

would never happen though. the radio guys have a bad habit of talking about the game for the entire telecast.

 
Hmm.

All-timers would be Gowdy, Olsen and either Cosell or Madden.

Current: Vermeil and Jaws with Nessler were actually good. I like Michaels as well, and there are few other guys who'd work as color/analysis.

Sideline reporter: Dennis Miller. He's good for funny quips once/twice a quarter, and that might be enough exposure but not overdone. I don't need eye candy - that what cheerleaders are for.

Really? You are such a geek.

When did liking hot chicks become a capital crime or grounds for being a geek? I guess you enjoyed watching Madden's fat hips and Kornheiser's comb over...:RichardSimmons:
