"Dudes are clowns" - NFL fans drag Dan Orlovsky and commentary crew through the mud for awful MNF performance

This week's ESPN broadcast of the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears featured Dan Orlovsky, Steve Levy and Louis Riddick. The trio will call a few games on the network this season and this was seen as their preseason tuneup.Levy and Riddick were ousted from Monday Night Football this offseason and replaced by Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, who left FOX to join ESPN. Orlovsky replaces Brian Griese, who was named the quarterbacks coach for the San Francisco 49ers. It was later reported that the three got the call over Buck and Aikman, who were preparing for their regular season debut with their new network.The trio will also host a Week 2 Monday Night Football matchup as there is a double header scheduled for that night. They will also host the Week 8 ESPN+ game as well as a Week 18 Saturday night game broadcast on ESPN.Fans were not pleased by the coverage presented by Orlovsky, Levy and Riddick. Some felt that they favored the Seattle Seahawks over the Chicago Bears, even when they weren't going up and down the field. Here are some of the top comments:Jon Benne@LordBenneAdding Dan Orlovsky did not improve this Steve Levy/Louis Riddick booth. Little wonder that ESPN threw a blank check at Buck and Aikman.3Adding Dan Orlovsky did not improve this Steve Levy/Louis Riddick booth.
