Tonight, ESPN disgraced 36 years and 555 broadcasts of Monday Night Football from 1970 to 2005. Whomever is producing this show at ESPN should be ashamed. What a joke. When is opening day?

ESPN is now the sports version of People Magazine
Monday Night Football is okay so long as you turn down the volume and watch it after the fact, using your TIVO to skip the garbage!
They obviously misunderstood the NFL when the league said that they would be considering a game in PARIS.
Mike Terico is fine imho. Joe Theiseman is a little like Tim McCarver - feels he has to analyze something on every play. Sometimes running one up the middle is no more complicated than that.
Tony Kornheiser - he is terrible
Talks about everything but the game on the field. His commentary is innane and that is one trait I cannot stand - he doesn't seem like he understands sports. I also hate when someone preaches why someone or something ought to be important. I agree Brady is good but sometimes I think it is over done with that guy. Jim Kelly led his team down the field for the game winning field goal in the SB but his kicker missed. It will be interesting to see which team makes it to the SB this year with Adam Viniterri now kicking in Indy.

Totally agree about Tony Kornheiser!
I switched it on last night right when the replay officials made that horrible call on the third down pass, then had to hear a stunningly vapid and repetitive argument between Kornheiser and Theismann about whether the replay "system" was a travesty or just that call.
It was the first time I had heard Kornheiser. I could not believe that he was on the air he was so bad. What are they thinking? Theismann is bad enough.... but the combo of those two is toxic. Poor Terico - he's a class act and I felt for him last night.

151 days 'till MLB opening day.
102 days 'till my favorite college team takes the field.
Until then I've got the NHL to keep me occupied.

Absolutely. The Thrashers are off to a pretty good start this year.
Soxnole, NHL might as well be in Georgia. It hasn't been in Chicago in years.

I bet Kornheiser doesn't even know what down it is or even the score most of the time.He's too busy looking at his notes of prepared garbage that has nothing to do with the game.I like Daryl Johnston(Moose).He gives a fullbacks perspective of things.I can't remember which network he is on.

'bout time someone figured out what torqued me off about that MNF broadcast. That half time was just a choke, chunk and puke debockle.

Tuzigoot....
Did you see an absolutely MORTIFIED Steve Young CRINGING the whole time. I don't think he realized he had signed up for this!
Let's call it what it was......the lowest moment in the entire history of sports television.
Give me the Heide game...please...

And for the youngsters...here's what all of the fuss was about...
