The Winter Olympics host was calling Thursday Night Football games for NBC last season -- and Fox wants to keep him on Thursday nights (http://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/if-fox-asks-mike-tirico-to-do-thursday-night-football-should-nbc-say-yes.html), even though the NFL Thursday package has switched networks. According to The New York Post, Manning (http://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/espn-fox-reportedly-willing-pay-peyton-manning-10-million-dollars.html) is only interested in working in the broadcast booth (http://awfulannouncing.com/nfl/what-perfect-potential-television-role-peyton-manning.html) if he's paired with Tirico. The Post reports that NBC has yet to be approached with the unusual proposal. Tirico is already scheduled to call Notre Dame's home football games on Saturdays this fall.
