A new voice

Last but not least, we look to the broadcast booth. Sean McDonough begins his stint as Monday Night Football’s play-by-play commentator alongside color commentator Jon Gruden.

McDonough replaces Mike Tirico, who had held the position since 2006. Tirico signed with NBC earlier this summer.

Fans are accustomed to the Gruden and Tirico pairing, and will hear a different voice narrating the game on Monday night. No doubt, Gruden will still excel at being the man in the room that cares the most about football and football-related minutiae.

McDonough just has to keep the broadcast on track while Gruden expounds on all of the nitty-gritty football details he’s uncovered during the lead up to his first real broadcast of the season. It will be interesting to see how the pair meshes over the course of the season.

There will be plenty of story lines for the new pair to discuss while they cover the Steelers at the Redskins on Monday Night Football.
