Fran Tarkenton, who created a style of his own in 18 distinguished seasons as a National Football League quarterback, has joined ABC's "Monday Night Football" series. He'll be in the broadcast booth with Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford for at least six of the regular-season telecasts this year, as well as the coverage of the post-season Pro Bowl game. He'll also be a commentator on the Monday Night series when Howard Cosell joins ABC's World Series broadcast team.
