Knew there was a reason I always liked Peyton.

So they couldn’t get Romo and Peyton says no

They are clearly going for a big name and with the rumored packages they are going after, they really can’t afford to have Booger be their main guy.

I wonder who they will target next? Brett Favre, maybe?

Who cares, we got Booger!

A) he actually had interest and B) if so, what he asking price was...

just get rid of Booger

Gruden and Booger both are awful

I think Peyton's aspirations are quite a bit higher

NFL owner, Senator etc

what a mess

MetsAreBack : 3/23/2020 7:05 pm : link

at this point the NFL may want to get involved as there are at least 6 broadcast teams wasting away on 2nd/3rd/4th slot sunday afternoon games that are better than the Geno/Booger disaster.

Most broad-based fan polls I read last season had them ranked dead last, out of the 14-15 full-time broadcast teams (so part timers like Sam Rosen didnt count)

MNF
