Pick your dream MNF booth (1 Viewer)

[Daywalker]

Frank Gifford, Kathie Lee and that skank he cheated on her with.

Cody on the sideline.

 

[Righetti]

Mike Tirico

Tony Kornheiser

Mike Wilbon

and the bar on the side that tells you what they will talk about next

 

[Righetti]

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.

mike, mike and mike

 

[malice]

I don't need eye candy - that what cheerleaders are for.

What if you're one of those unfortunate ones whose home team doesn't have cheerleaders?

 

[pizzatyme]

Michael Irvin, Thiesman, Joe Buck

Would go something like this:

 

[Evilgrin 72]

No one likes Schlereth?

 

[fatness]

Groucho

Chico

Harpo

 

[Vikes Fan]

I would have to go with...

Mike Patrick (Play by Play)

Aikman

Golic

I think Patrick is really solid in play by play.

Aikman is very good

Golic would be interesting as an additional color guy.

 

[Bri]

can't believe no one has agreed with me

:kicks rock:

 

[Mik789fl]

Gifford,Cosell and Meredith. NO sideline reporter's,they're a waste of time and their "interviews" get in the way of the game.

 

[5Rings]

Charles Barkley, Ron Jaworski, and Carl Banks.

 

[zanti8]

any combo :

frank gifford

jim brown (x cleveland running back , NOT pre-game dude)

pat summeral

john madden

tom brookshire

charlie jones

please never :

phil simms

randy cross

jaws

 

[TwinTurbo]

I'm going with Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Burt Reynolds. And have some other cast members from the Longest Yard do a cameo from time to time as well. I think that would be a pretty good crew.

We already don't get any good football analysis, so you might as well add some funny guys to the booth.

 

[NoFBinLA]

No one likes Schlereth?

Absolutely a good idea. Stink nows his stuff.Pair him with an ex QB maybe (I liked Boomer on MNF, but I know I am alone) and someone else for color -- I'd say Al Michaels but he couldn't take not being allowed to talk over the other two for three hours.Funniest one and done booth? Namath, Irvin and Mel Kiper. With an open bar.BOOYAKA!#### would be on fire before game's end.

 

[Garts]

I think Iain Eagle is one of the more underrated play-by-play guys....Eagle teaming with Willcots is prett solid.

Good PBP guys:

Kevin Harlan

Eagle

Jim Nantz

Mike Patrick

Good Color guys:

Simms

Willcots

Madden

Dierdorf

Bad ones:

Randy Cross

Sam Rosen

Bill Maas

J.P. Pearson

pretty good except for dierdorfhe is terrrrrrrrrriblei dont know how many times ive heard him say "that might be the _________ _________ i have ever seen in all my years of football"or "he is the most dominant _____________ i have ever seen" his exaggerations make me go

 

[HMH]

Keith Jackson, Marshall Faulk, D.Vermeil

No sideline reporter

 

[Z-Dog]

Dream booth:

Me, my buddy Cheese, and a rotating weekly guest-stripper.

Oh, and for sideline reports, give me a trained parrot who will squawk out the report... and make sure the parrot's handler/trainer is hot too.

 

[butcher boy]

Joe Starkey by himself.

He's the current 49er radio guy and the guy who called this play.

[Wally Cleaver]

I'm surprised noone has mentioned Steve Young... He seems to have a lot to say and is very knowledgable.

 

[J-Rock]

Aikman and Buck are currently the best in the business.

IMO there should never be more than 2 people in the booth. 1 to do the play by play and 1 ex player or coach who can offer insight into some of the things viewers may not see.

I don't care to see a "special guest" (Charles Barkley, Jamie Fox, Hank Williams jr. et,) every week and I don't want a "color" guy. We don't need some yahoo cracking jokes or talking about who they have in Fantasy.

 

[malice]

My major gripe is the in-game interviews. Having an extra in the booth is distracting enough- but cutting to someone at a satellite location and conducting an interview while cutting AWAY from the game is inexcusable.

I can't stand Buck.He should stick to baseball I think.

 

[Sleeper 43]

Michaels - Cosell - Keith Jackson

 

[Weapon of Mass Instruction]

Me and Colin Cowherd.

All sane, redblooded, sarcastic Americans would love us. We'd own that demographic.

 

[The Deathstar]

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?

Joe Namath, Dennis Miller, and Chris Rock in the boothIce T and Halle Berry on the sidelines with Saragusa

 

[The Deathstar]

Keith Jackson, Marshall Faulk, D.VermeilNo sideline reporter

The All Noise Team:Michael IrvinDeion SandersDick Vermeil (for the crying)OJ on the sidelines with a baseball batNobody would ever knwo what the f* they were saying. They could do Raider games.

 

[JohnnyU]

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.

After some thought, I selected my personal favorites from my original group. The are bolded. Two dead guys and a pretty boy with brains.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

John Facenda

James Earl Jones

Barry White

 

[kevinallen]

Bob Costas, Troy Aikman, and Matt Millen.

 

[ZzZ]

For old-school consideration that dates me but here goes...

Curt Gowdy (classic NBC guy in the '70s and '80s. rock solid.)

Bill King (another classic. mostly did bay area (oakland) stuff. call on the classic Willie Brown long interception return in the SB "there he goes. old man Willie..." . Is actually THE best basketball play-by-play guy of all time -- yes, better than Chick Hearn.)

Keith Jackson (before he became a characature of himself in the later years)

Yes, all three are play-by-play guys but all were solid beyond belief.

[Leo Scanlon]

Sideline reporter: Dennis Miller. He's good for funny quips once/twice a quarter, and that might be enough exposure but not overdone.

We already have someone playing that "funny quips once/twice a quarter" role: Tony Siragusa. Speaking of sideline reporters, I mostly agree that they aren't needed at all. But if we must have one, please make it Suzy Kolber. Sexy, knowledgable, well spoken -- Suze has it all. I'm not alone in this opinion; Joe Namath feels the same way.

 

[Steelers]

Here is the topper:

Bill Murray-humor/caddyshack lines

**** Vermeil-intelligence and emotion

Plaxico Burress-Cuz I can't understand anything he says

Jennifer Tilly-Sidelines, getting all sweet and pouty with the players

 

[MFLRattler]

I realize that this won't be popular, but I'd really like to see one of the networks go without any announcers again and just use the Stadium PA. Remember when NBC tried that years ago? It bombed, but with the new camera angles and on-field graphics, surround sound, high def, etc. I'd like to see another go at it.

 

[JohnnyU]

Bill King (another classic. mostly did bay area (oakland) stuff. call on the classic Willie Brown long interception return in the SB "there he goes. old man Willie..." . Is actually THE best basketball play-by-play guy of all time -- yes, better than Chick Hearn.)

I disagree with that statment, because IMO, Cawood Ledford is the greatest basketball announcer of all-time, although he was a radio announcer. He did Ky basketball, football, and national broadcasts. Even Mike Krzyzewski of Duke will attest to that.

 

[blenderfrog]

I'm kinda partial to the Boomer Esiason/Chris Collinsworth combo.

 

[RenegadeGM]

How about the three guys from the Holiday Inn commercials.

"I got these new golf clubs. They're made of gold."

"Those are gorgeous. Got a unicycle for my son. So much fun."

"What is he, a clown or something?"

"I hope so."
