We have a winner!  Kind of shocking, given the fact that the Bills were a MNF staple for the better part of the 90's.

Wasn't it also about the time Butler got fired? I believe he was officially relieved before the end of the season. Not sure of the date.

Isn't ABC and ESPN the same company ?

Well, ABC/ESPN gave up the Sunday Night game, so I assume if MNF would return to ABC proper - then some sort of reshuffling would need to take place with all the networks and the various broadcast packages...

The EZC definitely made that road trip to Indy.....very fond memories of the drive down there (2...15 passenger vans worth) Boy did we get thumped in that game.....There were without a doubt 5,000 fans in our endzone chanting "Buffalo Sucks" right at us! Thank you very much!

Well, ABC could re-bid the next go around if this fails.

Except that the NFL has made an executive decision to put its premiere package of games on Sunday Nights instead of Monday nights, so it would require both the NFL changing its packaging back to the old ways and ABC rebidding and winning.

 

So, the funny thing is that the Bills are almost guaranteed to be on "Monday Night Football" next year, and have almost no shot of being on Sunday Night.
