He will be joined by Brian Griese and Louis Riddick returning MNF to a three man booth for the first time since the Dennis Miller experiment I think.

It's looking more and more like it will never be "over." There will be fears of another wave for years, it seems. After all, this was originally supposed to be handled in weeks, then weeks turned to months, and now months are turning to years. No one has a clue. No one wants to admit defeat. No one wants to let us get back to normal life. Schools can still only operate two days a week, half a year into this nonsense, when the apex was five months ago where I live.

They said this too shall pass, and they lied.
