ESPN is contemplating a pursuit of legendary play-by-player Al Michaels for “Monday Night Football,” The Post has learned. ESPN declined comment.
Meanwhile, ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” is on the verge of something of a renaissance as in its new 11-year deal, it will add six ABC games and two Super Bowls.

Regardless if ESPN pursues Michaels or not, it has decisions it has to make on Levy, Riddick and Griese. Griese’s contract is up, which is the first thing ESPN must resolve. Even if Michaels were to come aboard, ESPN would need multiple broadcast teams.
