ESPN Names MNF Production Team

Jay Rothman and Chip Dean will work one night later when ESPN begins airing Monday Night Football in 2006.

The two production executives have worked on ESPN’s Sunday Night Football since 2001 and will continue on in their roles through the 2005 season, the network said.

The 2006 MNF season will be their 16th consecutive as a producer-director tandem on football telecasts for ESPN and ABC Sports.
