The product really changed when they landed MLB in the later part of the 1980s. Now they have MNF obviously. I can't believe people think the new format sucks when you should've seen the old!

Yeah but there was nothing like sitting at a bar at 1:00 AM, drunk off your rear, watching The World's Strongest Man!! Good times.
