****Official Monday Night Football Power Outage Thread****
 

Steelers (10-3) @ 49ers (10-3)

The lack of artificial light is going to really hurt the passing attack for both teams in this game.

Well we know there won't be a baby boom in 9 months
bada bing

Candlestick Park needs more Candlesticks obviously

:clap:

Come on first ever no light game.

Both teams are already confirmed for playoffs. Who cares?

You can see the field from the blimp, why not play?

That is one of the ugliest oldest stadiums I've ever been in. New stadium is way overdue. The charge $25 to park in a gravel parking lot

STEEL MEN ARE COMING

Looks like more lights came on. I took my eyes off the tv, and looked back and it's much lighter than it was.

Give the players headlamps.

ESPN says, said it could be a significant delay ... that is hilarious!

BREAKING: With the power being out at Candlestick Park and Ben Roethisberger's presence, all females have been advised to leave the premises

haha that is awesome

Man I'm glad this didn't happen at Arrowhead on MNF... how embarassing.

I like the power outage's chances in this game.

ROFL

They are advising against hiding in the bathroom stalls though.

LMAO

Looks like the lights are back on.

Yeah, but not the main lights.

It's too dark still I think.

Everyone is safe according to ESPN. Big Ben knows how to pay people off quickly apparently.

The MNF set is really on the field
I thought it was fake ROFL

Whoa you could actually see that transformer explode. That's cool.

I wonder if the fans thought that it was part of the pregame festivities???

If the lights were out, then how were their earphones working?

OMG the kids, are they ok?

what does ESPN know?

Boomer going with the "earthquake" drama!

Jesus, let's make people nervous

Didn't the Mayans say it would start with something like this

The talking heads are babbling on.

Yeah he was talking in a pretty somber tone. That was pretty stupid.

Turn off the lights, the party's over!
 

LMAO

Let's just thank our lucky stars that this didn't happen mid-air.

THIS IS NOT AN EARTHQUAKE /Boomer

Yes Stuart, those are referees behind you. Now run along...

I know ... too funny! LMAO

I know they are killing time and need something to talk about but it was a freaking tranformer blowing and that happens all the time all over the country.

battery powered

Rep for Dandy Don Memory.

OMG are they going to make them actually play if they have an hour delay?

Aren't they union?

Just tuned in. Wtf looks like the lights are on

Let's take a moment and remember '89. /espn

Where are Ben's whereabouts?

Young trying to 49ers cya a BIg Ben medicine will wear off conspiracy

Everyone is safe

This negatively affects teh 49rs?

Great observation, Boom.

Win or lose, the 49ers are going to drop in the Power Rankings.

Hey the last chiefs qb to win a playoff game

:thumb: MNF has never been the same either

I blame Bane for the outage.

Must have been a peak usage time for dildos and sex toys in the vicinity of the stadium.

Why would Ben wear two different colored shoes on the field?

Good to know which foot we should crush /49er defense

Orthopedic shoe not looking too bad

huh?

oh :D

Sweet! Go 9ers!

Oops. Ben couldnt step into that throw. LMAO

he might want to get rid of the ball real quick before they pounce -- i think he's gonna go for the two-step drop. the hell with the three.

Troy P. got mauled on that play

SF is matriculating nicely.

steelers defense is gonna be out of breath before the half

49ers better come away with 7

It's the only way that average teams can keep pace with the big boys.

seems the steelers def is running a pretty basic scheme = i could be wrong

well, it held them to a FG

Power outage joke. Guess it short-circuited.

Mike Wallace is one fast dude

INT safe to say Ben is hurting

He needs to take a seat.

Tim Tebow, Meryl Streep, ‘Survivor’ lift CBS

The Sunday ratings reflect the fascination with Tim Tebow, quarterback of the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos lost to New England and Tom Brady, yet the game was a huge winner in the ratings as it ran 34 minutes into prime time.

Early ratings for the 7 p.m. half-hour show that 26.9 million viewers caught the end of the Denver-New England game.

Early ratings show CBS averaged 15.9 million viewers in prime time to NBC’s 11.8 million, a number that’s likely to grow. We’ll have the updated numbers Tuesday morning. San Diego beat Baltimore on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.” Way back were ABC with 4.8 million in prime time, followed by Fox with 4.2 million. CBS edged NBC for leadership in the 18-to-49 age group, according to the early ratings.

LMAO

Damn game is going to be on forever tonight

LMAO What a POS stadium

Everyone check on the kids

This is NOT an earthquake

At some point, Tomlin must decide whether it is worth the risk of playing Ben with an injury. Two terrible INT and he missed on what should have been a third.

This is what happens when the left wing hippies try to make your stadium run off solar power.

Brilliant, they won't see me run on the field with the lights out

lol Ben.

LMAO

Somebody run to Lowes and get a more heavy duty power strip for this place.

so what happens if they can't get the lights back on?
