The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand and SBJ’s John Ourand discuss the news that ESPN may pursue Al Michaels for “Monday Night Football”, even as he is way down the negotiation road with Amazon’s “Thursday Night Football.”
Michaels is slated to call the Super Bowl for NBC in less than three weeks, and then the NFL TV Hot Stove will heat up. Troy Aikman and Sean Payton are possibly on the move. Sean McVay, who may stay as the Rams’ coach, is a name that is high on TV executives’ list.
The guys get into how Netlfix’s earnings call could impact Disney’s plans for ESPN. Then they talk about the Australian Open, the USFL and Marchand’s Baseball Hall of Fame vote. The Calls of the Week rank all the final calls from last second NFL playoff games. The “Who’s and Who’s Down” Awards have a football feel, as well.
