ESPN Says Suzy Kolber, Michele Tafoya's 'Roles Are Being Determined' for MNF in 2008

Following today's report that Suzy Kolber and Michele Tafoya are out at Monday Night Football in 2008, I received the following statement from an ESPN spokesman:

"Michele and Suzy will still be assigned to our multiplatform Monday Night Football presentation, including the game, pre-game and post-game. Their precise roles are currently being determined."
I have also been told that both Tafoya and Kolber will still travel to the Monday Night game all 16 weeks of the 2008 NFL season. But clearly, if their "roles are currently being determined," that means that, as Pro Football Talk reported, there are some changes afoot, and that Tafoya and Kolber will presumably no longer fill the traditional roles of sideline reporters.

Most likely, they will instead have an increased presence on things like the pregame show, and interviewing players for SportsCenter and/or ESPNews after the games. If it means more time for Xs and Os analysis from Ron Jaworski, I'm in favor of it.
