'Good Morning Football' debuts new iteration from L.A. studio

NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” today debuted its new iteration, airing live from league’s L.A. studio after leaving N.Y. earlier this year . Famed boxing announcer Michael Buffer began the broadcast with the tongue-in-cheek intent to “reintroduce the undisputed greatest football show in the history of the world” then individually called out each of the show’s co-hosts: Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, Jamie Erdahl and Akbar Gbajabiamila. Buffer concluded the intro with a spin on his trademark, saying, “Let’s get ready for football!” ( "Good Morning Football," NFL Network, 7/29 ).

NEW STUDIO, SAME FEEL : DEADLINE’s Armando Tinoco wrote the "clubhouse vibe” from the "GMFB" studio in N.Y. has been “upgraded to a massive studio with lights and TV screens everywhere.” Brandt has been “rehearsing with his GMFB co-hosts” ahead of their relaunch and noted the “special connection he has already started with new co-host Akbar Gbajabiamila.” Amid the changes, Brandt said that he “never considered leaving GMFB,” noting he has been with the show since its inception and is “really proud of it” ( DEADLINE, 7/26 ).
