The official: Whine about MNF Thread!

[cartmen]

Just out of curiosity what is the record for most consecutive late night games in a row. Pats must be making history here

I think Bill Belichick made the real point for me. He was asked if he was going to watch the Cowboys-Bills game on Monday Night Football and he said no, you can't tell anything from the TV presentation.

If the TV networks don't show the game well enough for a coach to derive useful information then it's not surprising that they fill it with lame jokes, plugs for up-coming TV programmes, embarrassing staged arguments, visits by supposed celebrities to plug their up-coming programmes and movies, inane sideline "human interest" stories (where are you now, Joe Namath, now that we need you most?) and the rest. I normally mute the sound but, since it's the Pats, I can't do that.

Fortunately, watching the Patriots makes me smile no matter what.

I love anytime the Pats are in primetime because its the only time I can see them on TV.

Woo Hoo!

The wait sucks, but once the game is on I love it.

Night games always have a more prestige feel to them, and the only negative to them is the wait for me.

I am almost positive that CBS used one of it protected games as the Pats-Steelers so that would freeze it from flexing. and given the choices they had to flex a Pats game eho would you choose Bills, Jets, Dolphins? i thikn the shoice is obvious

Shows how little he knows. We can tell who is playing well and how isn't, who is a bust and who we should sign and who we should cut by watching the TV view of the game. Of course, we are aided by stat sheets, Sports Center and NFL Live.

Anyone see Merril Hoge and the NFL Primetime guys just go over how Randy's been slacking again? Heh.

Since ESPN has been talking about it all week, I'm certain it's gotten back to Randy.

MNF is like going out with the village slut. It's good when it's going on, but you wish there was another alternative.
That's what I've been told. No first hand experience.

I hate the in-game interviews but at least Shula has something to do with the NFL.

I was expecting them to interview the next host of their new reality TV show or something.
