Last MNF game on ABC tonight


Recommended Posts

Tonight's MNF is between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. Its the last game that ABC will broadcast. Starting next season, ESPN will broadcast the games. Disney, who owns both ABC and ESPN, decided to let ESPN have the games due to declining numbers over the last few seasons. The contract runs from 2006 until 2011. NBC will broadcast the Sunday Night Football games. They are going to call it Football Night in America.

Quite a coincidence that New York Jets lost this match 31-21, and also lost the 1st game of the ABC era 31-21 in 1970.

Yeah, I saw that on SC this morning. As long as the Jets don't play the ESPN premier, they'll be fine.

It's also a shame that MNF didn't go out on more of a "marquee matchup."

Somehow this doesn't seem logical to me; if ratings are decreasing, why move it to cable? Less people have cable than ABC... Oh well, Disney is infinitely wise... :whistle:

    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
