Brett Favre disputes report that he stunk up his MNF audition
On Tuesday, the New York Post reported that Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre recently auditioned for the vacant analyst gig on Monday Night Football. Per the report, Favre bombed.
Favre disputed that account via Twitter, making the decision seem like his, not the network’s.
“Wanted to clear something up from today’s press on me & ESPN,” Favre said. “Truth is I had a good meeting about possibly joining the MNF crew. I was intrigued when they called yet not sure I want to pursue a broadcasting career right now. I wish them the best of luck and a great season.”

Peyton Manning on turning down TV work: I don’t want to be a critic “at this point”
FOX and ESPN both were willing to pay Peyton Manning big money to spend one day a week working an NFL game. The former NFL MVP was the sexiest name available.
But Manning, speaking at a Restaurant Leadership Conference in Phoenix earlier this week, said he wasn’t ready.
“I don’t want to be a critic at this point,” Manning said, via Jonathan Maze of Restaurant Business Magazine, before joking, “I still do too many commercials.”
FOX and ESPN were willing to spend $10 million per season for Manning, the Sporting News previously reported. The networks will leave the door open for Manning to change his mind, and Manning left at least a crack in the door by adding he’s not ready “at this point.”

How and why are these 2 the #1 broadcasting team? Seriously do you know anyone from any fan base that likes them? I've never seen a comment from someone that mentions how great Joe Buck is. Not even a comment saying he's "meh". Shouldn't someone on the #1 broadcast team be amazing? So I don't get it. What is it about him and even Aikman who's nauseating in his own right, that makes FOX think these guys are making them money?
... and neither is this Chris guy.
