That for sure! Madden ruins the game with his stupid comments, "I don't know what he was thinking?" (Duh, your not him, how would ya)

Well, I think it is important to note that ABC was losing about $150 million dollars annually from their "Monday Night Football" program (Source: The Wall Street Journal). So with that in mind, I think it's easier to understand their reasoning. And PJ, people without cable or satellite television will get Sunday night football now, with NBC buying the rights for it from ESPN.

I'd say people without cable and satellite are screwed anyways. I couldn't live w/o ESPN and G4. And all the CSI repeats on that one channel...um...chanel 168 on mine...um...SPIKE TV!

:hmmm: Since Disney owns both ESPN and ABC........it kinda looks just like a big $$$taxx$$$ write off for them, especially with the "High Ratings" of Monday Night Football !! :eek: :(

He is an idiot, but I think that the Sunday Night crew that ESPN had worked very well together. They could make any game interesting, I hope those guys stay together whether it is at ESPN or over at NBC now that the Sunday Night game is there...
