Monday Night Football is stuck with some real dogs coming up. I believe the only people watching are those in Fantasy Leagues and those who wager on the game. Remember when MNF was the crown jewel of the NFL. It's sad that the league won't allow MNF to flex their games like Sunday night.

It's not the league it's the tv networks.

You can't just cherry pick premium match ups off fox and cbs and expect those two networks to pay top dollar for the rights

You do realize the ratings for MNF are the highest in history don't you on a per cap basis don't you?
It is the single greatest television right on earth.

This is not even worth arguing about .

Its the most viewed program in America period. End of discussion .
I don't need to spin nothing .It's numero uno. #1

Spin that.

So according to ckid Monday night football got killed but it is #1 by a mile in the ratings and Disney pays historic unheard of money for the right to air it.

Makes sense to me

Chop we can go on all day on this, but i would think for the person over 50 yr old and have been watching nfl since the 70's, monday night these days are no way a must watch like yrs ago.you have it on all the time now and monday night is just another game, ratings or not chop, back in the day monday was a special night for football as you didnt have all the outlets for sports, now it overkilled every night with sports and you can most of the time watch any game in the world being played
