ESPN Is Axing The Boogermobile For Saturday's Broadcast Of Colts/Texans

SBJ- Booger McFarland will shed the sideline cart he used during “MNF” this season and be in the booth for ESPN’s broadcast of the Colts-Texans Wild Card game on Saturday, a move that will lead to speculation that McFarland will join Joe Tessitore and Jason Witten in the booth next season. ESPN moved McFarland to the booth for the final “MNF” regular-season game on Christmas Eve, citing weather conditions as a reason for making that move.

ESPN was said to be so pleased with how the three-man booth worked for that Broncos-Raiders game, it decided to stick with the three-man booth for its only NFL playoff telecast. For the record, ESPN says no decision has been made for the booth next season, but it appears likely that McFarland’s sideline cart will not be around.

So this is how ESPN kills the Boogermobile. Not with honor or dignity, but instead with the typical corporate mumbo jumbo you would expect out of Bristol speaking out of the sides of their mouths. I am sure the chemistry Booger showed in the booth during Monday Night Football’s final game of the regular season where ESPN cited weather as the reason for sending Booger upstairs and definitely not being scared of the freaks in the Black Hole throwing the Boogermobile into Al Davis’ eternal flame after what could have been the last NFL game ever in Oakland.

That’s almost as ridiculous as trying to saying you think a show with Barstool in the title would be able to distance itself from Barstool Sports. But with weather not being a factor inside indoor NRG Stadium during the pretty much annual Saturday afternoon Texans home wild card playoff game, ESPN did what they do best which is lie fix something by killing it under the guise of everything being just fine and this is just business as usual.

Anyway it’s during moments like this that we should remember the good times we had with the Boogermobile.

Like the time people complained about it ruining their view at the games:

And who can forget all the extra insight viewers at home got by putting Booger McFarland’s ass up on a dolly directly in front of fans that paid to be at the game:

Play us out Vanessa, ’cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles if I could just see the Boogermobile Saturday night.

In all seriousness, I cannot wait to see what ESPN does next year with Monday Night Football. Because I believe the Boogermobile and Robo Witten are truly just the tip of the iceberg of what the Worldwide Leader is capable of as they try to be “edgy” while also letting Goodell rub their belly as the NFL’s pet sports network that keeps everything vanilla in exchange for scheduling that only some of the Monday night games are absolute trash.
