ESPN called it a "new commentator team" for "Monday Night Football" in a news release on Wednesday, but in fact three of the four members of last year's group are back, minus analyst Jason Witten, who returned to active duty as a tight end for the Dallas Cowboys.
Joe Tessitore will handle play-by-play again, with Booger McFarland joining him in the booth as an analyst after spending most of last year on the sideline providing commentary from a moving "Booger Mobile." Lisa Salters returns as the sideline reporter.
"Monday Night Football" will open its 50th season when the Saints host the Texans on Sept. 9.
