Had enough of Anthony “Booger” McFarland? Monday Night Football doesn’t think so as the erstwhile sideline reporter and pilot of the most hated vehicle in all of professional sports, The Boogermobile, has been invited to join Joe Tessitore as the color analyst on the upcoming season of ESPN’s MNF. McFarland replaces Jason Witten, who had such a terrible season as an analyst that he opted to return to the NFL.

Isaiah Crowell tears his Achilles
The Oakland Raiders saw their running back depth chart take a hit when Isaiah Crowell went down with a torn Achilles on Tuesday in a team workout. Last season Crowell rushed for 685 yards and six touchdowns for the New York Jets.
Raiders’ RB Isaiah Crowell tore his Achilles during a workout with the team Monday and is out for the season, per source. Crowell will undergo season-ending surgery next week. Brutal blow for a player who signed a one-year contract with Oakland.

Big #Redskins nugget: Joe Theismann says Dwayne Haskins has decided that he wants to wear No. 7. Theismann has given permission to the rookie QB to do so. Told us he just talked to him on the phone.
