John Ourand of Puck is predicting Greg Olsen will land in ESPN’s Monday Night Football booth next season, and when Ourand’s sources talk, people listen. This isn’t some throwaway rumor, folks. This is a juicy nugget dropped in The Varsity newsletter, and it’s got the whole broadcasting world buzzing.
The MNF Spot Is Wide Open
Get ready for some serious broadcaster roulette, because that Monday Night Football spot over at ESPN and ABC is gonna be wide open if Troy Aikman decides to bounce. And trust me, more than a few big names are going to be angling for it. Olsen’s name is right there at the top of the list for a reason.
Olsen’s Got the Chops, and the Emmys to Prove It
Let’s be real, Olsen is pure gold in the booth. The guy has won multiple Emmys, including the most recent one when he was on the Fox “B” team. Remember when he got bumped to the bench because Fox wanted Tom Brady? Felt a little messed up at the time, right? But it was always clear he was destined for a prime spot somewhere. Whether it’s ESPN, CBS, or Prime Video, it just feels inevitable that Olsen will once again be a No. 1 voice.
This whole thing is gonna be expensive. You’ve got guys like Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce hovering, too, and he’s got the chops and the cachet to pretty much pick his spot and name his price. The offseason scramble for these top broadcast gigs is shaping up to be wild. Grab your popcorn, because it’s about to get interesting.
