Nah, it won't happen.

Especially the part where they mention that Mr. Mackey (John Clayton) may be out because they are presumably grooming Schefter to replace Mort. The rest of the PFT story was interesting too.

As I remember he was above average as a play-by-play guy. Shortly after the move to the Lions everything went downhill and Millen was exposed as a poor sports manager. Furthermore in this overdue age of blogs and the internet to expose all the crap like we were fed by ivory tower types in Manhattan for too long, and like many media types before the mass (not just techie so shutup you dudes out there) use of Youtube ~2005, Millen is exposed as not a good studio analyst like most of his peers anymore if not always before too. Millen will probably suck on MNF Countdown, which already sucks major ass anyway as does the whole MNF operation on ESPN, but he would be good again as a play-by-play guy on Fox or CBS. For now work is work.
