Longtime Fox Sports commentators Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are leaving to join the ESPN crew and host 'Monday Night Football.'

First, the company made strides with the inception of Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli as a laid-back alternative to traditional football broadcasts. Now, The Disney-owned company is taking a bite out of a competitor, scooping up former Fox Sports commentators Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on multi-year deals to bring together an All-Star caliber Monday Night Football broadcast.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "When you have the opportunity to bring in the iconic, longest-running NFL broadcasting duo, you take it, especially at a time when we are on the cusp of a new era in our expanding relationship with the NFL," said Jimmy Pitaro, the chairman for ESPN and sports content for Disney. "The NFL continues to ascend, and we now have more games than ever before, providing additional opportunities for Joe, Troy, and our deep roster of commentators.
"The opportunity to be a voice on Monday Night Football, adding to its legacy and being a part of the future of the NFL on ESPN, has me motivated and reflective. As a kid in California, the voices of Frank Gifford, Howard Cosell, and my mom’s personal favorite, Don Meredith, echoed throughout our living room each week. I am looking forward to the next several years with ESPN and all our new teammates.
