After 36 years of NFL football madness, ABCs Monday Night Football is coming to an end. CNN/Money has a nice write up but for some reason I can’t find any coverage on ESPN. I’ll definately miss the show, although since moving to the east coast, those late monday nights were beginning to kill me. I thought the show got much better since aquiring John Madden. But I was never really unhappy with any of the crews, even the Dennis Miller silly season.
Of course, NFL on Monday nights is not going away. It’s just moving to cable.
I’m assuming your “can’t find coverage on ESPN” sentence was sarcastic. Of course they wouldn’t have coverage: Disney is trying its best to make it a mere business move, while completely blind (or purposefully ignoring) the fact they are destroying a piece of Americana by changing the show from network to cable TV. Other networks have run stories on it, even catching Al Michaels more misty-eyed than ABC wants to admit.
