ESPN remains the Worldwide Leader in Mike Greenberg shows.
Greenberg is the new host of ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown,” the network announced Tuesday, adding another premium program to the popular broadcaster’s résumé.

Greenberg, 57, becomes the fourth host of “Sunday NFL Countdown,” an NFL pregame show that airs out of ESPN’s headquarters in Bristol, Conn. He replaces Sam Ponder, whom The Athletic reported was let go last week in a financial decision.
“Sunday NFL Countdown” also features analysts Rex Ryan, Randy Moss, Teddy Bruschi and Alex Smith, as well as insider Adam Schefter and sports betting analyst Erin Dolan
Jeff Darlington, Dan Graziano, Kimberley A. Martin, Sal Paolantonio and Lindsey Thiry are set to serve as reporters for the program.
Greenberg, a diehard Jets fan, joined ESPN in 1996. He co-starred on the national morning radio show “Mike & Mike” with Mike Golic from 2000-17 and has also hosted “SportsCenter” and “NBA Countdown.”
“Sunday NFL Countdown” debuted in 1985 and is set to begin its 40th season on Sept. 8. The show will air from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET on Sundays through Feb. 9, when Super Bowl LIX is scheduled to take place in New Orleans.
