Mike Tirico is going to NBC, and he's leaving ESPN.

It's going to be Berman and somebody shoot me please if it is.

I just threw up a little. Berman is the worst.

Personally, Tirico is okay but not great. If he's Al Michael's eventual successor, it's going to be a crop of meh at the top of each network.

I'm sure they will go after a non player guy, they don't need another color guy. If they did , I like moyock; he seems to get pretty in depth w his analysis.

I took this the wrong way at first lol.

Tirico will be hard to replace, especially on MNF. I vote Ed Oneil.

Word on the streets, Sean McDonough will be his replacement on MNF.

Hopefully they aren't thinking about picking up Torry Holt or Ronde Barber.

damn. tirico and gruden were great together.

Yes they were. I enjoyed the banter between the two of them. Especially when Mike would call out John on some of his antics.

Gruden: Hammerin' Julio! He'll hammer ya. They used to have Hammerin' Hank here in Atlanta and now they have Hammerin' Julio.

Tirico: Where did the Hammerin' thing come from?

Grduen: Well I took Hammerin' Hank and changed it to Hammerin' Julio

And this jewel during wild card weekend.

Tirico: "You were part of a playoff shut out back in the day."

Gruden: "I was?"

Tirico: "Yeah you were."

Gruden: "Did I get shut out?"

Tirico: "No you didn't."

Gruden: "Well that's good. You've got a lot of memories tonight Mike."
