Mike Tirico is leaving ESPN and ABC Sports this summer Tobias Enstrom Jerseywhen his contract expires to work for NBC, a person familiar with the move told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because neither network had made an announcement about the broadcaster. SportsBusiness Journal was first to report the news.
Tirico began working athttp://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Toby_Enstrom_Jersey ESPN in 1991 and became its ''Monday Night Football,'' play-by-play announcer a decade ago.
He seamlessly transitions to calling action for major golf and tennis tournaments, NBA and college basketball and college football.
''He never seems to get flustered or rattled,'' former broadcast partner http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Tyler_Myers_JerseyJoe Theismann once said. ''He's incredibly smooth.''
Tirico was part of a new-look broadcast as ''Monday Night Football'' moved from ABC - its home for 36 seasons - to ESPN.
''If I'm doing my job, I'll be Nikolay Kulemin Jerseylike an offensive lineman or an official,'' Tirico said in 2006 during an AP interview before making his ''Monday Night Football,'' debut. ''You'll know I'm there, but you won't really notice me.''
Tirico, Keith Jackson, Frank Gifford and Al Michaels have been the play-by-play voice of the signature TV show, and the latest broadcaster wasn't comfortable being part of the elite group of broadcasters.
''I'm only on that list because we have the same title,'' Tirico said http://www.officialislandersstore.com/Womens_Youth_Ryan_Strome_Jerseya decade ago. ''I hope I can earn my place with those guys down the road because they're among the best in the business
''In your wildest dreams, you hope to do things. This is not one of those things you would even put in your wildest dreams.''
Tirico began a path to his dream job in Queens, New York, where he was raised by his mother and grandparents, near Shea Stadium, the former home of the New York Mets. Tirico said he was baptized the same day as the first Super Bowl, Jan. 15, 1967, when he was a month old, and grew up having a life that revolved around sports.
