(From The USA Today -- By Michael Hiestand)
The latest tweak in ESPN's MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL will try addition by subtraction -- reporters SUZY KOLBER and MICHELE TAFOYA, although they'll be at games, will be largely shelved.
MNF needs to rein in the chat.
It had Kolber and Tafoya getting about as much air time as any sideline reporters in TV sports, as well as an outgoing three-man booth TONY KORNHEISER, RON JAWORSKI and MIKE TIRICO plus celebs dropping by to add to the chorus.
Although their roles will be greatly reduced, Kolber and Tafoya could pop up on ESPN and ESPN.COM pregame and postgame shows or even on TV during games if there is news to report.
Said ESPN's MIKE SOLTYS Sunday, "Their precise roles are currently being determined."
Sunday, Soltys also said the contracts of ABC/ESPN college football announcers DAN FOUTS and TIM BRANT, who worked together on West Coast games, have expired and won't be renewed.
