Let's talk about the changes in the Monday Night Football theme
SNR, I'm looking at you. No one else on this board can analyze music the way you can. Get in here and give us an expert's insight.

This is the original Monday Night Football theme. It is gorgeous. Perfect. The middle of the song (1:00-1:28 or so) is a bit cheesy and the 70s really start to creep in, but this is a GREAT song. Timeless.



Now we have the first alternate MNF theme. This started to be played on MNF starting in 1989.



This is clearly, at it's core, the same piece of music, but it's been slightly updated. It's just a little punchier. There's a little beat behind it. Synthesizers start to creep in, as the effects of the 80s take hold. It's still awesome, though. If you're a bit younger, like me, this is probably your favorite version, especially as it played during the 90s Chiefs MNF games.

Now we have the version ESPN started running when they got the rights in 2006.



WHAT THE **** IS THIS SHIT? The clear, distinctive tones and melodies have been compressed and over-bassed. It's like someone watched a bunch of Hollywood trailers with their BWAAAAAAAM notes and decided the MNF theme needed to get as close as possible.

This isn't a piece of music. It's a bastardization. It's like someone took the original MNF theme, played some thrashing guitars behind it, sank the recording studio underwater, and recorded what a garbage scow heard passing by. THIS IS SHIT. IT'S TRASH. IT'S SACRILEGE.

**** YOU ESPN. You gave the MNF theme a concussion.

Thoughts?

ESPN's NBA theme also sucks ass compared to the classic NBC theme. I do like the CBS NFL theme

Don't get me wrong. I love the 90s NBA on NBC theme.

But goddamn it I swear that's Will freakin Ferrell playing cowbell. There sure is a loooooot of cowbell in that thing.

The earlier versions were way more brass-forward, while the current version is more orchestral/ensemble, and produced like a movie score - the horns aren't nearly as forward. Definitely less dynamic range, creating a less impactful experience.

ESPN had it right with SNF in the 90s. This was a great theme.

I hope NBC somehow gets the rights to the NBA again. That theme is perfection.

I actually had to go to bed in 1994 before Montana cucked Elway, so I recorded the second half.

Came home to watch it after school the next day and the tape ran out right before the last play.

The original was the same for me. Bed time was 9 ish except for Monday Night Football. Got to stay up with Pops and watch starting about 3rd grade.

I'll talk about MNF in a second.

In the meantime, this is my opportunity to say yet again that the NFL on NBC theme in the mid-90s is my #1 favorite network sports theme.

It's gorgeous. It's hopeful. Positive. Why does football have to be this high-tension shit bass drum crap? This NBC theme elevates football to a more noble character. Your team could suck absolute shit, but with this theme playing in and out of commercial breaks, you never feel like your team can't pull off the incredible and get a gritty W.

I don't care if he only does shit movies and composes with a goddamn casio keyboard. Randy Edelman is a goddamn genius.

Alex Smith listens to the NFL on NBC theme before every game. You know he does.
