Report: Curt Warner In Line For WWOne MNF

Curt Warner

NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner did not land ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” job, but he might end up calling the Super Bowl — on radio, according to The NYPost.

Warner is the leading candidate to replace Boomer Esiason as Westwood One’s analyst on the Super Bowl, The Post has learned.

The Super Bowl and the playoffs are the prizes at the end of Westwood One’s broadcast season for its “Monday Night Football” radio crew. Esiason is stepping away from his MNF/Super Bowl gig on his own accord. Esiason had already cut back to doing about half the MNF games, with Warner doing the others.

Esiason, 57, has been in the MNF booth for 18 years, which, in turn, has allowed him to call the most Super Bowls of any broadcaster in history. Esiason has been on the radio call for more than a third of the 52 games. In 2000, he called the game on TV with Al Michaels. After the 1988 season, he quarterbacked the Bengals in the game.

Esiason is walking away from the MNF/Super Bowl radio assignment because of his hectic fall schedule, which includes his daily WFAN morning show, as well as his studio jobs on CBS’ NFL pregame and Showtime’s “Inside the NFL.” Plus, his work for cystic fibrosis with his Boomer Esiason Foundation. Esiason made the announcement about his decision on his WFAN show, “Boomer and Gio,” on Monday.
