I think it's the if every game is special no game is special. Too many meaningless Monday and Thursday night games.I mean that varies year-to-year.
The bigger issue is that Thursday night has taken away the appeal of Monday night.
Now that I would get on board with!!Maybe NBC should just replace Collinswoth with Manning.
I have a better idea.ESPN plotting dream 'Monday Night Football' booth: Al Michaels and Peyton Manning
I have a better idea.
Why not plot for some dream matchups on the field. That would contribute more to the success of MNF than whatever they do in the booth.
That's one of the reasons they're trying for that matchup. Fox agreed to TNF because they were promised a better schedule. ESPN gets a nod if they've for frontline talent and not Heckyl and Jeckyl on MNF. Hell, they got a major matchup last season and acted like a virgin boy on prom night.MNF is dead cause they have crap match-ups - I dont care who they get to announce the games.
Crap games - crap ratings...
That is also their best opportunity to catch the largest TV audience. Sunday night has always been a big TV ratings night so they'd be dumb to put a poor matchup which is why they flex games.In my view it is not who is in the booth it is the game being played. MNF at one time got most of the best games of the week. Now we get a lot of games that are just not good matchups. Seems to me Sunday Night Football is getting the better games. I enjoy watching 2 good teams facing off no matter who calls the game

NBC tried that with a Jets game and got a lot of negative feedback.True, honestly I have never not tuned into a game based on who the announcers are. Most of the time I'm focused on the game not what they are jabbering about. You could just have camera crew showing the game with no one in the booth and I would watch it if it is a quality football game.
So true, it's hilarious.Still can’t believe Witten got a gig, just because he wore the star and was Romo’s bff.
The broadcasting teams have gone to hell over the years. It’s tiring hearing motormouth Booger McFarland referred to as boog.
Manning has the intelligence and charisma to succeed. Not a bad backup plan.
Still can’t believe Witten got a gig, just because he wore the star and was Romo’s bff. It’s like ESPN never saw how dry Wit’s player interviews were.
Maybe NBC should just replace Collinswoth with Manning.
