NFL | To Schedule Two Monday Night Football Games? - from www.KFFL.com Sun, 4 Jul 2004 09:21:16 -0700 Jeff Duncan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said the league is considering the idea of scheduling two Monday Night Football games in the future and selecting the better one to televise nationally. "We could start out with a single game on Monday night in the schedule and go to two games scheduled on Monday night later in the season, when the uncertainties are bigger," Tagliabue told the Los Angeles Times. "So there would be a lot of ways to do it. That's a priority, and it's also a priority for Sunday night as well."
I don't think I like the idea of having two Monday Night games.
How about you?

I like it if they keep both games on Monday night. It would screw with a lot of people's travel plans to have a "maybe" Monday night game and find out it's been moved to Sunday.
I got your number. I steal your thunder. I got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm.

actually, i think he's right. they would pencil in two games for monday night,and then decide a week or so in advance which game would be the monday night game. the other game would then move to sunday afternoon. that's just what i heard from when they first started discussing it.
i think it's bogus. i understand the attraction of a ntaional audience, but why should abc get special treatment? if i were fox, cbs or espn, i'd be pissed. unless the skins are on, i usually end up only watching the first half anyway, and then going to bed. they should move the games back to 8, like they were a few years ago.
