Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk is reporting that ESPN Monday Night Football sideline reporters Suzy Kolber and Michele Tafoya will not return to MNF in 2008.
Kolber has been ESPN's NFL sideline reporter for several years, dating back to before ESPN had Monday Night Football. She is the last holdover from ESPN's Sunday night team, which featured Kolber on the sidelines and Mike Patrick, Paul MaGuire and Joe Theismann in the booth.Tafoya was the Monday Night Football sideline reporter when the franchise was on ABC.
When MNF moved to ESPN two years ago, Tafoya moved with it.It's not yet known whether Monday Night Football will find a new sideline reporter or reporters, or whether it will just get rid of them altogether, as CBS has done on its NFL telecasts. The latter may be the wisest move, as no one seems to miss them on CBS, and many viewers think sideline reporters just distract from the action on the field.
