It definitely brought some nostalgic on highlights being the main show which was a lost art when the show was coming along.Īmazon definitely starting off strong with their TNF debut getting Bolts/Chiefs. One final thing is this, the only time I really like watching Good Morning Football was Monday mornings during Football season because they simply showed highlights the entire show. So who knows how this could unfold, plenty of options for NFLN. Sometimes it’s not a bad idea to bring in new blood to the show and we must remember that the show is in New York far far away from the main studio in Los Angeles which I am sure many of NFLN’s personalities reside at. Adams will be replaced easily and it’s good that NFLN has in-home options, but I definitely believe they should look elsewhere to see if someone is able to qualify for the show. Unfortunately, Burleson is very hard to replace and all they have done is rotate former football players (and maybe coaches?) for nearly a year since his departure. I believe from the original crew she was the 2nd best “host” of the show behind Nate Burleson. Regardless of the outcome, it’s amazing that ESPN is still the go to goal for admiring journalists and former athletes that wants to become analysts.Īdams leaving Good Morning Football does leave a tough mark on the show.

Then again there could be other factors that her attorney team has in plan that would question inconsistencies on this matter. I understand that questioning a former president, that’s a minority, race and also having a soundbite on vaccine is probably not a consensus agreement on being extreme, but I can see how it could open the door for some to test that which is why ESPN felt they needed to take action (that’s only speculating if they made the decision solely internal). I’m curious on what will unfold from this because ESPN should simply hope that this doesn’t become a storyline in the media of sort, however they do have to keep those in account of whatever their personality say or act that may reflect ESPN in a negative picture won’t be accepted or tolerated. This does put ESPN and the other in the suits in a very awkward situation. Obviously she is flexing her right and believe she’s doing due diligence in regard to what happened. The Sage Steele situation is really interesting. Also there’s no telling if Sean Payton will be back to coaching in a year or 2 from now. As far as his old head coach being eased into FOX, I honestly love it because FOX has their studio core and it should stay maintained. While that won’t move a needle in terms of ratings, it will definitely bring attention and responses mainly because of Brees being a familiar name. With that said, with Brees being a familiar name in the football I won’t be surprised if he does move to FOX because that would help FOX bring a reason to advertise Brees. However, I see that Brees didn’t have a first impression close to society’s favorite color commentator in Tony Romo. 15.I can’t critique Drew Brees as a commentator analyst because I only tuned into the Cincy/ND, Bills/Saints Thanksgiving, and Raiders/Bengals with no sound on. If Saints fans were on the fence about tuning in for a playoff game this weekend, this one might be the one to pick. His former teammates like Trey Hendrickson, Vonn Bell, and Eli Apple are playing for Cincinnati now, as are college stars at LSU that he grew close with like Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase ( incidentally, this same Bengals team is visiting the Saints next season). He’s found immediate success in the role and sure sounds comfortable on the mic.Īnd he’ll have plenty to talk about in this game given all the Louisiana connections. He made his pro debut at the Caesars Superdome on Thanksgiving after first teaming up with Tirico on NBC’s broadcasts of Notre Dame college football games this fall. It’s the first playoff game Brees will work as a commentator, but this isn’t his first trip to the booth in the NFL. Kathryn Tappen will report from the sidelines at Paul Brown Stadium, and Terry McAuley will be on hand as NBC’s rules analyst. Former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will be part of the NBC Sports broadcast crew working this week’s playoff game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Las Vegas Raiders, offering in-game analysis with veteran play-by-play caller Mike Tirico.
