Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre reportedly auditioned for a spot on “Monday Night Football” and it didnt go well, according to the New York Post Tuesday.

However, there is no word yet on whether Favre was even interested in the job.
Other names who have surfaced for upcoming auditions for the top spot include Jason Witten, Greg Olsen, Kurt Warner, Booger McFarland, who is currently a college football analyst, and Rex Ryan, who works on “Sunday NFL Countdown.”
The network is looking to fill Jon Grudens spot who left to go back to coaching with the Oakland Raiders for the 2018 Season.
Fellow Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning was reportedly also approached for the lead gig but was not interested and declined. On Monday, the former Indianapolis Colts player said that just being a “fan” of the game is enough for him right now. But he did not completely close the door on the idea of being a broadcaster.
“I dont want to be a critic at this point,” Manning explained. “I still do too many commercials.”
