I posted something similar after they fired Miller and Dickerson. I'd have to go with a 3 man booth.
Al Michaels play by play (gotta keep the guy who called the "Miracle")
Ron Jawarski analyst (the smartest guy in Bristol)
Fred Willard (Best in Show announcer) as color guy
The last one is not a joke. I think that guy would be fabulous in the booth. You get enough X' and O's with Jaws alone.
I think this would be the new Howard-Gifford-Meredith. I can just see them now in the yellow jackets. Willard wearing plaid pants and colorful ties underneath.
They always aggravated me with sideline reporters because they never reported anything. A SL reporter should bring you a sense of the action and the drama on the sidelines. Not one of these "Al, I spoke with Andy Ried earlier in the week and he said...." Please! I can read that crap on the internet and newspaper. Let me know how many corn kernels AJ Feeley was sporting after Ted Washington fell on him.
My approach would be to get a guest sideline reporter every week. Keep it interesting. Don't tell anyone who it's going to be. If you strike gold with it the 1st couple weeks, tell me who wouldn't tune in to see who the Mystery Sideline Reporter is every Monday????
The MSR could be anyone. A Rock Star, a celeb, Kato, Mike Tyson, .......you get the picture. Hell, put the clean and sober Namath on and have some drunk hairy female Jets fan (pardon the redundancy) make lame passes at him while he's interviewing Adam Vinetieri. Come on people, this would absolutely rock on MNF!!!!
