Default Mike Tirico moving from ESPN to NBC

One of the best imo. Sucks that he won't be calling MNF anymore. Also enjoy him hosting Thursday and Friday of the golf majors. Looks like he will get the 5 games NBC now has for Thursday nights. I don't see Al Michaels retiring for a few more years, and not sure Dan Hicks is going anywhere on NBC golf either. Actually, I think NBC is getting The Open, so I guess he will still be involed there.

Would be cool if he was interested in doing some hockey too. He has a good voice.

IMO Sean McDonough has always been the best play by play guy ESPN has had regardless of sport. Great if he gets the MNF gig, as it would be well deserved.

Well I don't want to give assclowne extraordinaire Skip Bayless his own thread, but he's leaving ESPN for Fox Sports. ESPN obviously the massive winner, and if they can pawn off Stephen A. Smith on someone else they might be on the upswing.

Great I think that's an upgrade.

Tirico is very good but McDonough has been one of the best of this generation.
