NFLN sets "Thursday Night Football" Booth

Unfortunately for football fans, NFL Network's "Thursday Night Football" booth won't include Gus Johnson next season but the network's new duo is a huge upgrade from the horrible trio of Bob Papa, Matt Millen and Joe Theismann.

NFL Network announced today that Mike Mayock will be joined in the booth by veteran play-by-play announcer Brad Nessler to call the eight Thursday night primetime games, assuming there is a season.

Mayock has been an analyst on NFL Network for the past seven years and is head and shoulders above the ESPN NFL Draft "experts."

Nessler will continue to serve as a play-by-play voice for college football and basketball games on ESPN and ABC.

If there is a NFL season next fall, here is the schedule for NFL Network's "Thursday Night Football."
