Monday Night Football Sucks.

I can remember my elementary days when I longed to stay up up past my bedtime to see the end of Monday Night Football. To a young kid like me the opening theme song and fireworks seemed magical and at the same time very adult. For adults it seemed like something to make Monday's seem tolerable. It didn't matter if your team was playing, you knew that you could go to work the next morning and talk about the game, even if you weren't a huge football fan. Unlike Sunday when there is too many games going on at once, Monday Night Football was a time that teams you rarely watched could show you what they could do. It was really a national event. Last night I watched the first ESPN production of Monday Night Football and it was horrible, even when the Packers looked like they could actually compete. The beginning sequences dragged on and on with one Disney-like production after the other, trying to hype up the game but creating the opposite affect on many football fans. The commercials were way too often and way too long. The announcers were annoying and the coverage of what was going on on the field was terrible. Even while plays were happening, they were interviewing Steve McNair, a qaurterback who is probably going to be on next week's Monday night football. Instead of covering an important play they were shamelessly promoting the next weeks game. Cable can have Monday Night, because it would just poison the airwaves. Good riddance.
