Brett Favre responds to report of bombed ‘MNF’ audition
Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre won't be the new analyst of "Monday Night Football" after a failed audition, according to a report in the New York Post.
Favre, along with other former NFLers Peyton Manning, Booger McFarland and Rex Ryan, interviewed to replace Jon Gruden on this season’s “Monday Night Football” broadcasts alongside Joe Tessitore.
Favre attempted to clear up the reports of his poor audition Tuesday night.
“Truth is I had a good meeting about possibly joining the MNF crew,” Favre wrote. “I was intrigued when they called yet not sure I want to pursue a broadcasting career right now. I wish them the best of luck and a great season.”
