This is accurate. As I wrote early last month, Steve Levy, Dan Orlovsky, Louis Riddick and Brian Griese are the favorites as the replacements, according to sources. I’m working on a new story now. https://t.co/YHhZnEkkvU

Despite their Monday Night Football exit, Tessitore and McFarland will reportedly both remain in “prominent roles” at ESPN. The duo received their share of backlash on social media during their time on the Monday Night Football crew. After McFarland spent prior years in his famed “Booger Mobile,” the two shared the booth for the 2019 season.
