MNF lovefest for the Patriots
Anyone catch that last night? I honestly have never seen so much coverage dedicated to a team NOT playing in the actual game.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
I have to agree with you guys on this,but thats what you get when you put a media person instead of a football guy in the booth, But don't blame the pats for the media hype they don't even pay attention to it.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
Believe me I'm not blaming the Pats. Some of us have had a beef with MNF since ESPN took it over, this is just my latest gripe.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
The best broadcast that mnf has had since espn has taken it over was the second game of opening weekend last year. with jaws and vermeil were the color guys. Jaws is actually pretty good in the booth ,but I think he tries to kiss up to kornhole too much. If they wanted to put one of the pti guys in the booth they should have used Wilbon.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
I can't even watch MNF anymore its as if they are why people tune in and not to see the game. It started with our game against the Eagles and the Charles Barkley interview (if that's what you want to call it) for the entire third quarter. "By the way the Redskins called a time out". So I guess they did it again last night but this time talking about the Pats.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
I've been pretty turned off by them for a while now. I remember you used to get pscyched about MNF no matter who was playing. Now, if it's not the Skins, I'm pretty indifferent about it all.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
I cut it on and there's Hank Jr. and I start to get pumped up for some football then they go to these three guys and I turn the channel.

Yeah....and what made it worse ....on Sports Center this morning it was the same shit. Sad thing was...they were already looking ahead two weeks to the freakin' Colts game. Totally overlooking us. At least acknowledge that we are playing them this week.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
I'm sure the pats don't pay any attention, when do they have time? brady is too busy posing for GQ, impregnating various model (this is me just being jealous) and selling cologne/clothing, while the rest of the organization is buried knee deep in video tapes...

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
And it wasn't just a Patriots lovefest. I came away from the game thinking that Jaws would marry Bob Sanders if he was a chick.

Re: MNF lovefest for the Patriots
MNF was ruined when Madden and Michaels left. Just get rid of the entertainers, and hire some people with football knowledge! I agree Wilbon would have been a much better choice than Kornhole.
This is indicative of a bigger trend at ESPN: moving away from sports, and towards crappy entertainment shows with sports drink commercials. Ugh. I'm actually glad that I don't get ESPN anymore. It kinda sucks you in, and you realize it's crap, but you can't stop watching.
