Reiss: Behind the scenes look at MNF - New England Patriots Forums

Just want to link to the good reads coming from Mike whilst everyone gets their browsers adjusted. The Globe peed away some serious clicks when they let Mike get away.

Also, I for one expect to enjoy Gruden commentating on this game. Too bad there wasn't an adult station for uncensored Gruden commentary.

FOXBOROUGH -- What goes into preparing for a "Monday Night Football" broadcast?

It was a question I asked ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski after this morning's production meeting at the Renaissance Hotel at Patriot Place.

There were 25 ESPN staffers in the room, everyone from graphics folks, to lead producers to the makeup crew. A flat-screen television was set up at the front of the room and two easels were nearby with bullet-pointed messages for the crew (e.g. stress the Bills' focus on the no-huddle).

Listening to Jaworski, Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico go through the script was impressive. You also gain a greater appreciation for the behind-the-scenes producers who make the broadcasts go off without a hitch.

Now, that must be a Canadian phrase.

Also, I suspect that Gruden's commentary is no more censorable than Madden's or that of Parcells for that matter.

No but I mean if they let him loose, sidelines style...

Also, a Canadian phrased? I just can't remember which words get zapped on this forum.
