It's been over a month since unsurprising news broke that the widely-criticized duo of Joe Tessitore and Booger McFarland was being replaced. ESPN was apparently targeting huge deals for Tony Romo or Peyton Manning earlier this offseason, but it has since been reported that the network will make internal hires for its next MNF announcers.
Steve Levy is reportedly the favorite to replace Tessitore on play-by-play. That would be a strong move. However, the rumored leading candidates for color commentary — Louis Riddick, Brian Griese, and Dan Orlovsky — all leave something to be desired. Everything about Moss makes him the perfect man to be the next lead analyst for MNF, provided he's willing to take the job.
The biggest factor is that, like Manning, he's a legend of the game and an almost-universally beloved figure in the NFL world.
That alone would create excitement when the announcement was made and would likely shield Moss from some of the endless criticism directed towards McFarland and Jason Witten over the past two years. He also has the ability to make conversation about the game, which will be key in working with two former players in the same booth. Ravech is ready to get started.
In a conference call with the media last week, he laid out why the combination of himself, Eduardo Perez and David Cone will work. That made it very important for the sports network to get this selection right, and it did. That booth needed a fresh coat of paint. Vasgersian did his best to work with Alex Rodriguez, but the results were not always the best. Rodriguez seemed to drag Vasgersian down, along with the entire broadcast at times with some of the nonsense he would spew.
I think Kay is a tremendous play-by-play guy. With his background as an accomplished sports talk host, he will be able to more easily reign in A-Rod and direct the flow of the broadcast better in that setting. He also teaches broadcasting at the Illinois Media School. Sporting events have been entertainment for people since Roman times. Sports, especially in the USA, are closely linked to our society and American culture. As a business, sports are booming and growing at a rapid pace every year.
Now, with the rise of online gambling and sportsbooks popping up in just about every state, sports sponsorships will continue to provide tremendous value for brands moving forward. Sports fans are also incredibly emotional and love supporting businesses that support the teams they love to cheer for; use that EMOTION to your advantage and help your business thrive!
Yes, many of these things are very hard to quantify or gage performance based on an ROI evaluation. However, if done correctly, sports sponsorships can give your business a very unique and competitive edge over your competition in the marketplace because most are category-specific. Sports radio partnerships with the team can often offer your business similar, if not more impactful, way to affiliate your company with a sports brand at a much better price point.

The Vikings took a lead over the 49ers before San Francisco tacked on a late touchdown to make the final score Owens finished the game with five receptions for 55 yards, no touchdowns, and one spastic shouting match with his offensive coordinator.
That was his last season in San Francisco. Everybody should rightfully hate Mondays, except Randy Moss. He has owned Monday Night Football from his first shot on the big stage to, well, last week.
He'll get another chance on Monday night this week in New York against the Jets. Moss played the other team from New York nine seasons ago and convincingly earned NFC Player of the Week honors with 10 catches, yards, and three touchdowns.
He added one rush for 18 yards as well. With the game still in doubt, he caught a yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to help give the Vikings a victory over the Giants. He might not repeat that performance this Monday night, though he may repeat it at some point this season.
In his first game as a professional, Randy Moss gave a preview of things to come—namely, touchdowns. Minnesota beat Tampa Bay, , as Moss had four receptions for 95 yards, including a yard touchdown and a yard touchdown. In his first game as a professional, Moss was already one of the most formidable players in the NFL.
The Vikings were battling for a playoff spot with an record after coming off an inauspicious loss to a Chicago Bears team and about to play the Kansas City Chiefs. Two early touchdowns for Moss fueled the Vikings, who built a lead before winning, Moss finished the game with seven catches, yards, and two touchdowns. But the positive impact he gave the team during such a negative time is what gets this game on the list.
