Could Monday Night Football be even better without Jon Gruden?
Maybe so, if someone like Peyton Manning takes his place.
The good news — At +250, Manning is the Vegas favorite to land the color commentator gig, according to Odds Shark.
Saturday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans was Gruden’s final broadcast. He’s leaving to take over as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders.
How awesome would it be for the former Tennessee quarterback to transition to the broadcast booth?
Manning has certainly already proven to be fantastic on television with assortment of humorous commercials for Nationwide, DirecTV and Papa John’s.
