Joe Buck, Troy Aikman sign multiyear deals with ESPN to be voices of Monday Night Football

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who have teamed together for 20 NFL seasons in the broadcast booth, have signed multiyear agreements to join ESPN as the new voices for Monday Night Football, it was announced Wednesday.

The duo, who both have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, will also contribute content to ESPN+.

Next: look for Disney to upgrade the calibre of Monday night games IMO. They have no choice now but to pay the NFL top dollar.

Unlike most people who post in this forum, I don't have a problem with Buck calling the NFL.

If so then I could not be happier for them since I don't have ESPN.

logistics of calling Monday night games after Sunday games would be difficult. Can't imagine Disney allowing it either.

I am glad he got his voice back after almost losing it altogether ( due to vocal cord paralysis caused by intubation) following his hair transplant surgery.
