Artie Kempner

Everything's good.

Meanwhile, they've been swapping out directors year after year.

Meanwhile, Burke Magnus is saying to Marchand, hey, our product isn't as good as that on CBS with Romo and Fox with people who replaced Buck and Aikman.

So there's been some smoke kind of behind the scenes, right? I don't know, Armand.

I-

You know, I, I, I'm, I'm very good friends with the director, Artie Kempner, so I should've sent him a photo of you so that he could've iso'd you on one of his many cameras.

I'm just the right amount of famous.

Just very, very micro-niche famous.

But, uh, yeah, I just think he does have that edge, and it's, it's, it fires everybody up, 'cause they know that he's going to bring that passion, the energy.

And if you get, also get that from the catcher's position, I feel like it even means more.

'Cause those guys are, uh, generally the directors on the field, and if you have one that can take a game over like he does.

Like, I know Christian's the, the captain there, but right now the leader of this team is William Contreras.

It is a phenomenal spectacle for sure.

Director Artie Kempner says it is a labor of love, of course, because Monday Night Football, it is special.

They're the best in the business.

Yeah, it was extra special tonight.

Joe and Troy liked the producer director team they had a while back.

ESPN brought Steve Ackles in and then ESPN last year brought Artie Kempner, who was at Fox.

They bring him over to ESPN to sort of make the relationship with Buck and Aikman a little more cohesive.

So that could be something to consider there.
