Afternoon Update

Just a couple of links for this afternoon.

Dusty Saunders of the Rocky Mountain News in Denver writes about Monday Night Football possibly moving to ESPN. He wrongly asserts that Sunday Night Football would move to TNT because the NFL wants one of its main primetime packages to be over the air which is why the CBS/Fox combo for Sunday Night is gaining credence.

Over in Chicago, the Jay Mariotti show on WSCR (670 The Score) is being tweaked. Co-host Jonathan Hood is out and Chicago Sun-Times reporter Mike Mulligan is being tabbed to replace him. Teddy Greenstein has the details on this story and also the bidding on the Chicago White Sox radio rights between WSCR and WMVP. So far, no new word on who will broadcast the games. The current contract expires after this season.
