From NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/8842173)

The New Orleans Saints-New York Giants game, originally scheduled for the Louisiana Superdome on Sunday, will be played on Monday night at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET. ABC will televise the game until the 9 p.m. ET start of the Washington at Dallas game. At that time, the Saints-Giants telecast will switch to ESPN in most markets. The New York, Louisiana and selected hurricane-affected areas will see the Giants-Saints game to its conclusion on ABC before joining the Washington-Dallas game. The beginning of Dallas-Washington will be on ESPN in those markets until the conclusion of the Saints-Giants game.

Nice. I think originally they had planned on Saints Giants on both stations. Congrats to those in affected areas.

HOOhray!!!!!! I'm no longer INFECTED!!!!! :laugh2:

[Billy Bullocks]

Easy, instead of the game switching form ABC to ESPN, you start Dallas on ESPN and switch to ABC.

So turn on ESPN at 9pm EST and youll see Dallas Washington

[Boy's fan in Giant land]

Dude, I hope and pray you are correct on this. Just got Season Ticket this year and would be MAJORLY PISSED if for whatever reason I only got to watch part of the game.

For Boysfan and TheFuture -

I also confirmed this with a call to the NFL public relations department. I spoke with Matt and he assured me this whole issue was worked out.

So ESPN will definitely have the game on at 9pm est and as soon as the Giants/Saints game ends it will switch to ABC.

Thanks ParcellsGuy.

I know I was sweating it out. Although I have to admit I won't fully believe it until Monday at 9PM and I'm watching the game.

saw this same article in the ny post so it must be true ;)

i can't believe they didnt just word it this way from the begining instead of acting like we wouldnt be able to see it.

as far as the ticket goes i believe it is only for fox & cbs games so dont bother going to the 700's on any day but sunday's...

I also heard this on the news today! Thank God!!!!!!! This week just keeps getting better and better - knock on wood! The Cowboys with an awesome win, my 2 fantasy teams win because McFlabb and Philly's defense didn't do enough to outscore my fantasy teams on Monday, and the Eagles lost outright to boot!!! Now I get confirmation that I'll be able to see the Cowboys spank the Skins!!! Oh happy day! :dance:

[BlueWave]

Let's face it, the Cowboys are a huge draw. Ii read yesterday about the Chargers game being such a huge Neilson rating, actually dwarfing the MNF game, even though it was only available in limited areas, compared to MNF. The Cowboys/Redskins MNF game in 2000, two losing teams, actually destroyed the World Series game it went up against ratings wise. The Cowboys are a huge draw, and program managers would lose their jobs if they didn't find a way to show them.

[ScottCase]

I would be interested to see the ratings head to head. Cowboys v.s. Redskins on MNF outdrew a Yankees Mets Subway series game in 2000, Nationally.

I say let 'em put the game on ESPN, and keep it on ESPN...

That way, I could watch it in hi-def... :D
