ESPN is “expected to change its No. 2 NFL game-calling team” of Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky and Louis Riddickfollowing its NFL deal, according to sources cited by ESPN.com. There is a “high likelihood” that the seven extra games included in the deal “will be international,” which would not allow Fowler, ESPN’s No. 1 college play-by-play announcer, to be regularly available, while also taking Orlovsky and Riddick out of the country for their studio work for a few days. Sources noted that former NFLer Jason Kelce has “emerged as a dark horse candidate on the analyst side,” while NFL Network’s Kurt Warner is “also in the mix.” Kelce is a studio analyst on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown.” ESPN’s Dave Pasch and Mike Monaco are “contenders to be a part of the new booth as play-by-play announcers.” ESPN execs are “still sorting out their plans,” and “other candidates, like Bob Wischusen, could emerge" (THE ATHLETIC, 4/2).
