Are there really that many new viewers each week? Why else would they have to tell you a 72-yard touchdown pass was a great play? "It's third and long. This should be a pass." Well, duh. What happened to value-add? MNF apparently is the dumping ground for talent-less talet these days, and it's current crew has obvious biases towards and against teams. If I hadn't started the game late (DVR in the house!), I would have turned off the sound and listened to the radio. Commentators are the worst part of football, and most sports.

Kornheiser should ask ESPN how did it ruin Monday Night Football in such a few years. Has anyone looked into cloning Howard Cossell. There was nothing like his introductions of each team with the old MNF music playing in the background. Dave Moore

Just start watching at least 15 minutes or so after kickoff and speed over the B.S. parts.
