Why in the hell did they screw with Monday Night Football?

[Stevendsmith]

MNF is a sacred institution, but now it's been relegated to second-class, cable-only status, with non-marquee matchups.

And the announcer crew. Joe "I can't shut my yapper" Theisman, Tony "worse than Dennis Miller" Kornheiser," and Mike "zzzzzzzzzzz" Tirico.

Pisses me off.

1. MNF is exactly my age...

As a birthday gift my mom bought my dad a MNF game that you could play along with the game. We still played it occasionally. It saddens me that it's not an ABC thing anymore, although I don't miss Madden. :( It died at the young age of 36.

2. You don't like Madden? Blasphemy!! (n/t)

3. He is so irritating...and he never gets names/teams right anymore.

Good coach? Yes

Good announcer? Heck no! Sorry :hi: We can still be friends, right?

[Stevendsmith]

4. Well.....okay, I suppose!

:hi:

9. was it the MNF card game?

If so, I have that. Haven't played it in a while, but we used to adapt it for all the college games on Saturday afternoon :)

Welcome to the life of a baseball fan.

7. I think Monday Night football got moved to Sunday night (NBC)

I swear I saw Madden doing his thing during a game last night. :shrug:

10. Your right

The "Marquee" matchup for the week in the NFL is now on NBC on Sunday nights, rather than on Monday nights.

8. Sports relegated to cable...

Welcome to the 21st century. You have cable and the internet to thank.

11. Because Monday is the dumbest fucking day in the universe to play football?

;)

12. what I don't like are the shameless plugs

for shows on ABC or FAUX. It seems so rigged.

13. I don't miss Madden or Michaels.

And I don't like the current crew.
I do miss Cosell.
