oh God no, not that again !!!!

Are ESPN trying to destroy MNF within a couple of seasons so that it is forced onto the NFL Network and made as PPV for everyone ?

MNF brought ESPN their highest ratings ever this year.
I believe that would be considered a "success", from their standpoint.

I wish they'd can Theismann.
He's much more annoying than Kornheiser.

=Z=

When I heard Kornhole, I was reminded how my grandfather dealt with loose teeth growing up.
Tie a string to the tooth, other end to the door, and slam it.
Wham!
Abscess gone!

I want to do that to Kornhole AND kick him square in the shorts VikingNed style too!

If you kick him square in the pants he will probably ask for another....

As far as the crew is concerned, i like them. Im a big PTI fan and of Tony in general, so him coming back is cool with me. Joe "Ugh My Leg" Theisman gets a bit out of control at times, but thats his schtick.

Im surprised to see most of you more upset about the crew then the actual format ESPN uses. I dont think I saw anyone complain about the quarter long interviews with the celebs. Lord knows Sly and some of the other chumps have very little football knowledge. Thats my main beef with the broadcast.

As far as ratings, I think MNF got the best ratings theyve ever had this season, so why mess with a good thing. Personally Ive always thought of MNF seperately then the regular sunday games. Its seems like ESPN/NFL wants to draw a wider base of viewers with those games then, like i said "normal" sunday games. So having (insert your favorite know-it-all football dude announcer here) may be over most casual views heads.

Thats just me.

peace...

The bolded statement is very deceptive...they were the highest rated CABLE show...but compared to their NETWORK ratings, they did worse. The MAIN reason that they moved MNF to CABLE is that the very same ratings numbers that SUCKED on NETWORK TV look GREAT on CABLE!!!
Deceptive advertising...the backbone of American commerce!!!

Fact of the matter is that less and less people are watching MNF...and the current crew sucks worse than who they had before!
I will NOT be watching MNF on ESPN....EVEN if the VIKES are playing!!!
F***
Kornholer and Joey Sunshine!!!

I just think they have no chemistry and they cannot keep up a conversation.


You can tell that every line is rehearsed.


That isn't what MNF is about.
