Is that right?

I watched the game last night but thought all the hub-bub was because it was the last Monday Night game of the season.

Was that the last Monday Night game for good?

If so that stinks. What are they going to replace it with?

Bummer.

It is the last ABC hosted Monday Night game

 

It was the last Monday night for ABC. ESPN has bought the rights for it next year so it will still be there just on another channel. They are paying 1.1 billion/year for the rights.

Well that's a relief. The only downside is that I can't get widescreen HD on ESPN, but at least it's still on.

ABC was dumb not to renew.

ABC and ESPN are the same company...ESPN just bought the rights ...Man I want a dish..

 

On the downside of everything....There cutting John Madden out of the Booth...

 

ESPN is paying 1.1 million per game for the right to host it, I say let em, thats some coin just to be able to show the game.

 

Thats BILLION..Thats an insaine amount of money

 

.....Now waiting for the announcement that Monday Night Football
will only be available as Pay-Per-View.

 

here is a good article i found and it seems to explain everything. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...NGO4CB6UN1.DTL

 

Thanks for the link.

It says the NFL moved it's Sunday night game from ESPN to NBC, which is good because NBC will do it in widescreen HD.

Also, that kick-off will be at 8:15 east coast time. Easier to watch than the 9:10 Monday night kick-off IMO.

Progress? Maybe.

Time marches on.
