I kind of like that. Now all of the NFL games will be on regular TV. That's how it should be.

It would, but I bet ESPN gets Monday Night if this is true.

Ultimately, As long as I see the game, I don't care who carries it.

I tell you this though...the day FOX loses the NFL, I won't shed any tears over it, that's for sure.

Hopefully, but not likely, they will air 2 Sunday night games and you can choose between the two. Hopefully one of them isn't a blow out.

McGwire used to be on NBC...so there's a good chance of him returning there I would think. I wouldn't mind, I like Paul...he's hilarious to meet in person...I can say that much anyways if you don't care for his game calling.

Espn's high-def coverage just seems to put me in the game... as opposed to watching the game on tv. I love the overhead cam view... wish there was an option to keep it there the whole game

I care. The Sunday Night ESPN HDTV telecast is the best way to watch football that I have seen. They do an awesome job with it. Fox's HDTV is close, but not as good. CBS's HDTV is pretty weak, no cool camera angles or anything, just a better picture.

maybe it's the combo of theisman and him together that annoys me.

I remember McGwire for NBC, he use to call Bronco games, I remember him wearing some stupid hats during the AFC CHampionship games vs. Cleveland.

anyway, I'd prefer someone else calling these games.

Why would Disney put MNF on ESPN? They'd get more viewers on ABC.

Well they do techinally. Madden and Michaels will still probably do the games since it's Disney.

Because ABC was losing money and ratings.

they lose money and ratings every year so I think ESPN's share of the market probably matches up better with Monday Night Footballs current ratings.

Oh yeah, thanks for that. I forgot that ESPN and ABC is owned by the same company.

They will keep Al and Madden. I do like the ESPN sunday night threesome. I like Mike Patrick, although i always have felt his forte was college basketball.

What else is there to do on Sunday night than watch football? I don't like this, at all. I always have an empty feeling right around 6:00, when all the afternoon games are finished. I even watch the crappy matchups on Sunday night because I'm not finished with football...

I would hope nbc tries too get back dick enberg from cbs and get paul mgwire back because i thought they did a good job when they were working together, along with phil simms during the mid 90s. I never understood either last year how jim nantz got the 1 spot from dick enberg just because he has been there longer, but nantz is great golf and basketball anouncer.... he sucks at pro football
