I'm hoping that Rob Riggle will get a good slot with Joe Tessitore. They can do so much better than Holey Moley.

I'm in the minority, but I thought Tessitore was good on MNF (much better than the previous crew or Sean McDonough). Apparently Tessitore was too enthusiastic for an NFL audience.

Tom Brady to become Fox Sports’ lead NFL analyst when playing career ends

Tom Brady will swap the football field for the Fox Sports television studio when he retires from the NFL.

The news was announced in an earnings call by Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch on Tuesday. Brady will be Fox Sports’ lead NFL analyst calling games alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt. Murdoch said the seven-time Super Bowl champion will also work as an “ambassador” for Fox concentrating on “client and promotional initiatives”. He added that he did not know when Brady will retire and take up his new role.
