MNF on ABC fades into history, and goes into that good night. Thanks for the thrills and whatnot, and all the football memories.

Really is a sad day..... MNF on "pay" TV.

At least Sunday night football will become free to the masses.

Alex · 12-26-2005, 10:14 PM

Interesting fact.

Jets played the first MNF game and lost 31-21

Played the last one on ABC and lost 31-21

Young · 12-26-2005, 10:14 PM

ESPN is basic cable here. Don't even need a box to get it.

Advertisers don't care for people without cable I guess.

Isn't that called... "full circle"?

Sad to see it go but they have handled it pretty shittily for the last few years

Mutt · 12-26-2005, 10:16 PM

for anybody under 30 - maybe under 35 - they have no clue what an event MNF was in the 70's - Cosell made it what it was, back then the halftime highlight package was your only look at alot of teams and games.

turn out the lights the party's over

Bansheelinks · 12-26-2005, 10:22 PM

It helped make the NFL into the nations most popular game by far, and turned the NFL into an economic powerhouse. The NFL is now the most powerful and rich sports league in the world.

And MNF was a helluva show.

But things change. Viewership on Sunday Nights is greater, and NBC came up with the $. And Monday football will now revert to ESPN.

But MNF on ABC.........whatta ride.

Thanks.

So many games we watched. Some of them good. Some of them bad. Some of them even great.

But man, if you love football, you loved Monday Night Football on ABC.

mikeyddddd · 12-26-2005, 10:41 PM

Turn out the lights. The party's over. And then I cried.

They want qualified surfers more than freeloaders...Much like the adult business.

Bansheelinks · 12-26-2005, 10:43 PM

Thank god for the NFL Channel. If you don't have it, I highly recommend it, despite the repeat programming. But there was just something special about football on Monday Night on ABC. So many water cooler moments with friends......did you watch the game.......did you see that play???? And so many good moments with friends coming over on Monday to watch.

It will be missed.

No they don't. They want male eyeballs in the 25-34 age range.

Network ads aren't sold based on quality, but rather quatity.

Yeah, MNF moves to ESPN

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 12-26-2005, 10:59 PM

GFY is the new MNF, where news breaks first (or where news breaks wind, I am never quite sure).

On a serious note, that is where I first heard of Lennon's senseless assassination too...

So true! The halftime info back then was really the only way to get video highlights from the sunday games...and Howard Cosell's commentary on them, in the 3-5 minute span, set up what we know today as "normal" on ESPN, etc...

I still remember Howard's "Halftime Highlights"

Linkster · 12-27-2005, 09:44 AM

Good memories - remember that OJ used to be an announcer for a few years

and still remember the earlier attempts they made back in the late 60s (although only done locally in some areas before the blackout rules) and those games were kicking!

axelcat · 12-27-2005, 11:11 AM

thanks for the good times

IWantU_Jeff · 12-27-2005, 01:01 PM

they usually show allot of the ESPN stuff on TSN up here, I hope they do the same with MNF.
Anyone ever see the movie they did for MNF? Was was frickin great!

I think you'll see the stock in Sunday night football pick up allot too. Specially with Madden going over etc... Any news on who else is going to work MNF now? I know Michaels is supposed to be staying..gawd I hope we dont see Denis Miller again..gawd I couldnt stand him.

Red Ezra · 12-27-2005, 01:02 PM

At least they didnt pick the other contender when they picked him - Rush Limbaugh was the other person considered at the time

NickPapageorgio · 12-27-2005, 04:40 PM

It's Dennis Miller's fault

RIP MNF

Last few years? I'd say since the Madden era it has been shitty
