No more Monday Night Football on ABC

[Jazz Kat]

I could!

I hope that at the very least they get rid of the ESPN crew. Those guys are awful. I actually turn the TV down rather than hear them. They'd be well advised to use Michaels and Madden (although I'm not sure he'd like being only on cable).

If Madden had to choose between being on cable and not cashing that big ass paycheck-well he seems like he's a fairly smart man.

And anyway, there will still be games on Monday night to drive musicians to murderous rage. That TV over your head will just be tuned to ESPN.

and as far as the whole big-brother ABC being upset - c'mon. This was a corporate decision to let MNF go to the sports network. It still stays in the family, and the fact is, MNF has had declining ratings for quite a few years now. I'm not at all surprised ABC let ESPN get the deal.

Yes, who could ever imagine watching musicians play music live when you could actually watch jocks on t.v., like you said even the musicians are watching (must've been a real interesting gig).

Yes Jim, the endtimes are near (live musical endtimes that is). But not from dustygroove. It's from sports, t.v. in general, dvds, movies, the internet.

Well, seeing as how I can't stand football, this doesn't affect me in the least.

....Now if they got rid of the GAME of football, rather than just moving it, that would be real progress.

Amazing how many people who could/couldn't care less, have cared just enough to tell us how they feel!

When it comes to things that distract people from paying attention to live music in clubs, I'd rank pussy and booze ahead of televised sports, and I'm a big fan of those, too.

That's good news--they should move all that stuff to dedicated sports cable channels, and I wouldn't mind if the obnoxious, loud-mouthed sports casters disappeared from local news.

[Jazzmoose]

But Chris, I value those people...if it weren't for obnoxious sportscasters, then I would be the one with the worst fashion sense on the planet!

Sportscasters not dressing well? Now I've heard everything!
