I just read on Sports Illustrated's website that MNF is going to ESPN, and NBC is taking over the Sunday night games as of 2006. That's a disaster for us here in New Zealand who depend on ESPN for 2 games a week (the Sunday night and Monday nighters). I NEED 2 games a week!
I'm just venting here, because I'm the only one on this forum that this will have any impact on, and there's nothing anybody here can do about it. [Frown]

I've emailed my satellite provider here, but I doubt they'll do anything.

Please, please, please don't let ESPN's NFL commentators take over. Theisman, Michaels and whatshisname are probably the three worst commentators working today.

Watching a game that they are calling is like listening to fingernails screeching across a chalkboard.

Heck, I'd let 'em bring back Dennis Miller if I didn't have to listen to those three morons.

I don't think Madden will lose his job. Disney owns both ESPN and ABC.
