Gus Johnson's rough Saturday; latest with Buck and Aikman

So Buck and Aikman, here's what I can tell you.

And it's fascinating.

We're taping this, you know, early Monday morning, they have a game tonight, commanders, Niners in San Fran.

And, uh, One of the things I wish I would have touched on with Brian Curtis on Friday, but it didn't occur to me till after the fact is it's going to be a three ring circus now for them doing these games because it's out there.

Troy, if you missed it last week, Troy gave me a couple of quotes.

And said, you know, it looks like ESPN is done with him.

So even last week, they would try to like do these Zapruder type films of like, here's Troy on the field before the game.

Here's Joe on the field.

And it was nothing.

It was really stupid.

But anyone who sees Joe and Troy tonight, look, the cameras will be out.

They'll be looking for stuff.

We already know there was a leak in the booth last week because someone leaked the argument that they had to Ryan Glasspiegel at front office sports.

So I would imagine Joe and Troy are going to be buttoned up tonight, but we'll see what happens.

So fascinating that they have to do a game.

I would tell you that.

I said on the podcast with Brian Curtis on Friday, the only thing that would sort of make sense from a business standpoint maybe would be Travis Kelsey.

It's going to be Greg Olson if Greg Olson wants to go to ESPN.

The Monday night booth next year, if our betting man is going to be Joe Buck and Greg Olson.

Can things change where ESPN reaches out to Troy and says, let's get this deal done? Yes.

But as Troy told me, there's been no negotiations, no talks.

Why there would be no negotiations and no talks with the number one analyst in the game, the best analyst in the game, in your Super Bowl year, after you had year after year after year of a subpar Monday night booth, now you have the best booth in the game.

Just that fact alone that there have been no negotiations tells you everything you need to know.

Now, again, Jimmy Pitara, the president of ESPN could call up Troy's agent and say, let's get a deal done and something can change.

I don't know what the chances are of that happening.
