ESPN/Screencap
Last week ESPN announced the decision to replace the very popular Coaches Film Room feed of the national championship game with a feed consisting of the Monday Night Football crew of Jason Witten, Booger McFarland and Joe Tessitore much to the chagrin of college football fans.
.
Joe Tessitore, Booger McFarland, Jason Witten and Todd McShay will call Monday’s Alabama-Clemson CFP Championship on ESPNews. The “MNF Film Room” will replace the “Coaches Film Room” this year. ($) https://t.co/0tmWpQe209 ($)

What? The worst announcing crew in the NFL is replacing one of the coolest features about the CFP?

The move was clearly a mistake because MNF broadcaster Jason Witten was already confused with college football’s fair catch rule which allows a team to call for a fair catch inside the 25 yard line and have it result in a touchback.
MNF crew off to a great start with not knowing CFB rules lmao pic.twitter.com/oYQbwTIvTU
