Sunday Night Football on NBC is the spiritual successor to the original MNF. Today's MNF is just another game.

I actually prefer it now. ABC's Monday Night Football was constantly under impression that their "show" was more important/interesting than the game. Al Michaels has said so in so many words. Crap.

That is why he brought in 48 QB's to try to save his job. I seriously think that he would give Tebow a BJ if the opportunity came forth.

Really? It's the best group they've had in years... I usually tune them out, regardless of the channel and announcers, but I like listening to these guys.



And who gives a f*** about intros and colliding helmets? Off the top of my head, my requirements would be: talk about the game without bias and don't stick someone in the booth solely for entertaining the masses (seems like they now get this), tell us stuff we probably don't already know & spend time analyzing the current game & what's going on in the NFL (I love having Jaws in the booth, and Gruden is good at it, too), show replays, don't fall over each other trying to get to commercial every chance you get (CBS).... works for me.

Prolly haven't watch over five MNF games since they switched to SUCKN .......

This is just a great post, clear and concise, and it even has a cuss word in it. It's one of the best I've ever seen.

I see what you did there.:clap:

While I agree with most of this, in general the new MNF game is >> old SNF game. So the new arrangement is better for the fans.

its football and I have seen 25 years of it that I can remember, I don't need someone to tell me what is going on.

I hate that it's on cable now.

I rarely even watch it any longer. I can't stand ESPN.

Why does that matter?

I agree with Bearcat.

So they changed things. BFD. It's still football. Nobody likes announcers. They're always upset about something. They talk too much. They don't talk enough. They've never played football. They think they know everything because they played football.

It's a football game, and another 3-4 hours of avoiding things we ought to do but don't want to.

I can understand Tirico but what's not to like about Gruden and Jaworski?
