ESPN has assembled a trio of top football analysts and play-by-play commentators for its second season of Arena Football League telecasts in 2008, led by former NFL players Shaun King and Marcellus Wiley, who will expand upon their NFL studio analyst roles, and Ray Bentley, who returns as an analyst.  Veteran football and basketball announcer Bob Wischusen, who called Arena Football playoff games in 2007, will serve as the lead play-by play commentator with ESPN voices Dave Pasch and Joe Tessitore also set to call games during the ESPN network’s 29-game national television schedule (including 18 regular-season games), which will be available in high definition.

The new lineup will make its debut when the three-person booth of Wischusen, King and Wiley calls the Dallas Desperados at Georgia Force in a match-up of reigning division champions Saturday, March 1, at 1 p.m. ET on ABC and ABC HD.  Russell Athletic ESPN Arena Football returns to its regular Monday primetime window two nights later when Pasch and Wiley call the match-up between the defending ArenaBowl champion San Jose SaberCats and Central Division champion Chicago Rush on March 3 at 9 p.m. on ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD.

“This core group of commentators will provide a consistent voice and look for Arena Football games on ESPN this season, and their knowledge of the game -- coupled with the tremendous access the league continues to provide for our cameras and microphones -- will bring fans even closer to the action,” said Jed Drake, senior vice president and executive producer, ESPN remote productions.

No Mike and Mike this year. :( Kinda disappointed about that. I have to wonder if it's because of the increasing popularity of their show that the network doesn't want them to do so much traveling and stuff (I remember they had taken a number of Tuesdays off last season for the return trips).
