ESPN reporter Dipp wants another shot at MNF sideline gig
Doing live TV is never easy, despite how some veterans of the craft can make it look.
ESPN sideline reporter Sergio Dipp stepped up to the challenge on Monday Night Football and brought his own unique style to the broadcast. Dipp normally works for ESPN Deportes, but was called into the action for the season opener between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers.
Dipp then took to Twitter on Tuesday morning hoping for another crack at Monday Night Football and explaining his enthusiastic approach to his sideline hit the previous evening.
Thank you...

"Beth (Mowins), coach, itโs a pleasure to be with you guys, here on the field, from up close, just watching coach Vance Joseph from here," Dipp said in his first appearance, according to Phil Rosenthal of the Chicago Tribune. "You watch him now on the screen. His diversity and his background is helping him a lot tonight. Quarterback at Colorado, defensive back in the NFL, and here he is, having the time of his life, this night making his head coaching debut."
Dipp's excitement came through and he immediately became the talk of social media thanks to both supporters and critics. He clearly had a sense of humor about the whole thing, though.
