NFL Discontinues MNF on ABC in 2006


Recommended Posts

Whoa... :blink:

Then again...

ESPN will continue to make its NFL games available on free, over-the-air television in the participating team markets each week.

I seem to recall having to pay for basic cable. Guess according to this putz I've been getting screwed all these years.

lol, you don't pay for OTA ;)

although they did just cut like the viewing population in half, even if they still show it in the hometown.

Madden is awesome

pulease.. he sounds like your grandfather telling u a ton of things you already know and using the same lines every single year for the past 10 years! to each his own but if they cut him loose i wouldnt miss him.

Who didn't see this coming? Slowly the major leagues are turning to cable more and more. Doesn't the NBA air its entire playoffs, aside from the Finals, on cable? It's jsut going to continue. On PTI today they said 90% of homes have TVs in the U.S. and 70% of those have cable. That doesn't include satellite. Granted, here you're not really losing any games per week since NBC is picking up the Sunday Night game. And it doesn't necessarily mean Madden is out since, as I'm sure everyone knows, ABC and ESPN are both owned by Disney. He also contributed on ESPN's Monday Night Countdown each week so he had a relationship with ESPN already.

not to mention no ESPN in canada :@

and hasn't ABC had monday night since the beginning?

What a dumb move by NBC. The Sunday night games have been anything but "great" the past 5 years or so...wow, Jacksonville at Cincinnati...woohoo!!! ESPN, I'm sure, was happy to exchange Sunday night for Monday night.

Man, when NBC lost the NBA a few years ago, they also lost their minds.

And as far as announcers, I'll be happy with either Al Michaels & John Madden or the Sunday night crew from ESPN. Gary Thorn wouldn't be bad either, considering he has no NHL to broadcast.

rajput, to answer your question, yes it HAS had it from the beginning. And soloredd supposedly they're going to experiment with that flexible schedule so that feautre games can be moved around in the time slots.

NBC will devote its entire Sunday night prime-time lineup to the NFL. The Sunday night games will start at 8:15 p.m. ET and include flexible scheduling for the final seven weeks of the season, details of which will be developed by the league. Source

I hope they do go for an earlier start time. Also, I really wich they'd move the Super Bowl to Saturday, so I can more properly get my drink on without worrying about work on Monday. :beer:

:rofl: "more properly get my drink on"....I hear ya!

Something positive from this? Maybe just maybe.. Madden will do the MNF still on ESPN.. and NBC will not hire Joe to do Sunday nights..and thus NO MORE JOE. I'm sorry to fans that like him, but to me he's a jerk. And I much rather hear Madden then Joe!

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
