Lots of memorable games in the past.
At least there will still be games on Mondays.

So many memories and the last game doesn't look to be a close on either :eyepoke:

Turn out the lights, the parties over.........

I will miss the legacy ABC and MNF gave to us. My opinion is that the decisions of the past decade have been made by TV executives and not fans of the game, and that this was lost by ABC, not taken away. I have a very cautious hope that ESPN will improve the production, but is today's Sunday night really any better?

 

[jcgoldner]

Yes I'm afraid it will never be the same. Especially if it's anything like they do on Sunday night. ESPN just about killed Sunday night football for me. :barf:

 

[tobby4]

I dont know I like Sunday Night....... but i think that the prestige of Monday night in and of itself might help ESPN implement some changes..

ABC and ESPN are sister companies from what I've heard....

I just hope they keep Al Michaels and get someone besides the blithering idiot beside him the past few seasons to do the color commentary.
