NFL's Monday Night Football About To Lose Its Glamor - Nubblies.net Forums

Ugly Bastard · 04-19-2005, 12:28 AM

Basically, if you don't want to read this article, here is what's happening:

Starting in the 2006 NFL season, MNF will be shown on ESPN, and thus no longer ABC. This will mean a huge drop in ratings for Monday Night Football. But, ESPN loses its right to showing the Sunday night game, because now NBC will be airing the Sunday night game; which appears to be the future of "big stage" regular season football now. That's about it. NBC wins big, ESPN wins a little, ABC (which I realize is the same as ESPN and Disney and what not) loses big time. It'll be kinda weird not having Monday Night Football on ABC.

It will be very weird. That being said, I'm looking forward to seeing the return of NBC Sports. Beyond the Olympics and weird skiing events, NBC Sports has been lagging lately. Hopefully the NBA's return is soon.

Only for the sake of the theme song though.

it won't change much for me even though I don't have cable, I'll still go to the same bar every monday to watch the game.

I'm glad this is happening.

Hopefully the networks will air more shitty reality TV shows (how about 'The Life of a Janitor' 'Schism - Catholics vs. Protestants' or 'Who wants to be a porn star') and people will finally realize how shitty these shows are and the networks will finally die.
