  "account": "Jason McCourty, twin brother of Patriots legend Devin McCourty, is set to join ESPN's Monday Night Countdown for the 2026 NFL season. ESPN announced the addition on Monday morning, securing primetime broadcast positions for both brothers during the upcoming NFL season. In 2023, Devin joined NBC's Football Night in America as an analyst, airing every Sunday prior to Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth's coverage of Sunday Night Football. The next day, Jason will take to the airwaves on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown, preceding Joe Buck and Troy Aikman's introduction of the Monday Night Football game. The brothers, always sporting a friendly rivalry, expressed their excitement and pride in joining elite broadcasting teams. Jason playfully noted that he is the \"better twin,\" tweeting, \"The most important thing to me is everyone watches @devinmccourty on Sunday, then watch on Monday to see the better twin!\"",
