The Monday Night Football play by play guy.

Jesus Christ. He's gonna give America a collective heart attack. Screaming and yelling all game long.

There are times to get excited while doing a game. Not in the fucking first quarter when a guy drops a pass.

I appreciate Nance, Buck and Michaels. Those guys are calm most of the game. This Levy is not a number one. He's been this way all year.

And he is actually a breath of fresh air compared to when Tessitore was doing it last year.

I agree with that.

But they still need to keep searching for the right guy for MNF.

Tirico was fine. But he went to NBC and will eventually take over for Michaels.

Yep -- they are working him in with Michaels getting increased number of bye weeks this year.

For college games, you can get amped up people and run them out there doing commentary and it sounds much better than in the NFL. And I know they have to do something to keep the game "exciting" when it gets to 31-9, but there are people who definitely know how to do it better than others.

Even when Levy is talking to his guys in the booth he's over excited. Just have a conversation with them. Calm down. Not everything is exciting or dramatic.

I think he's so happy to get this gig, that he's over doing it. Trying to hard to impress. Maybe he'll learn. A lot of guys aren't good in their first year. Joe Buck admitted he sucked in his first year at FOX.

I’m convinced no one on this board likes any person who speaks words on their tv speakers during a live sports broadcast.

Not at all.

I said earlier I like Buck, Michaels and Nance. They're good. They're the proper number 1 guys for their networks.

Sorry Beardown.

I usually only read thread titles.

Levy is still better than Joe Tessitore.

And I gave Tony Romo his first media engagement before I left the Score.

incorrect.

I loved Tessitore. He's the perfect voice for a weeknight game.

Nothing against Levy. I havent noticed the yelling. Out of all the ESPN guys in history, he is one I have never minded or hated.
