Finally

 

We'll find out if it's really true tonight

Peter Gabriel era Genesis or that awful 80’s schlock Genesis?

 

Oh. Nevermind.

[DC Tom]

Thanks, ESPN, but you still have a Booger McFarland problem.

LOL. Only way they could make that worse is if they had him sing!

It wasn’t on  last week either. I kind of liked making fun of it 

[Royale with Cheese]

That sucks!  I was looking forward to Nickelback's Halftime show!

[atlbillsfan1975]

Good, they were terrible and I was uncomfortable lying to my in-laws about the meaning for the song that went ‘if I hit it two times...’.

Cat calls at half time 

[Lurker]

Better hurry up and archive their last video.   I'm sure it will be a collector's item someday...

I never understood the concept of playing music videos during halftime

And there was much rejoicing

The MNF broadcast has gotten so bad - the Tessitore-McFarland booth has to be the all time low.

I never understood the concept of music videos in the first place.

Why are people constantly shitcanning Booger? I think he is a good analyst.

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Thank God !!!

I like him, he says some things oddly but he has good analysis and funny comments.

What's your gripe with him? He can break down plays instantly and explain them in a way even my wife can understand, which is freaking amazing. He may not have the most soothing voice or talking style, but he makes up with it with knowledge and articulation imo. He is one of my favs at this point.

[skibum]

I think it's also high time they got a new opening theme. They have been riding that same crappy Hank Jr. thing since the mid-'90's. They should commission Hank 3 to do a new song. 

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Who knew?? 

 

I have not watched more than 30 minutes of MNF all season 

[dpberr]

I never understood why they were all shot in B&W. 

 

The entire MNF experience needs a reboot from top to bottom.  Everything about it is stale.  The format itself is over 40 years old.  

 

Just like WPIX's yule log on Christmas morning, ABC should try MNF without any announcers or commentary.  I'd suspect it'd be a ratings explosion.  I think with current technology in camera angles and on-screen graphics, it'd fare better than the previous experiment with it in 1980.  

 

Monday night games - coaches should wear suits.
