I know ill sound like a hack Jeff Hughes but a couple thoughts on MNF:
1. Right as the show opens and the falcons run onto the field Michaels and Madden tell us that there was a fight and players have been sent off but dont tell us who. They then spend 2-3 minutes discussing the McNabb/TO feud and then go to commercial. ALL BEFORE TELLING US WHO WAS FIGHTING. One of the worst failures of sports reporting ive ever seen.
2. I really think Madden looks like one of those animatronic bears in the Ol' Country Bear Jug Band that you see in old, run-down Chuck-E-Cheeses.
3. When the Eagles offense introduced themselves did anyone else think it was obnoxious that instead of being in their jerseys they were thugged out and instead of saying name and school they said random shit like "Im Mr. Jones, School of Hard Knocks". Its like the camera crew interrupted them partying with Randy Moss.
4. The only thing worse than 60 Seconds with Jimmy Kimmel, was his show's guests that night. If you are on broadcast tv and your biggest guest is LL Cool J then there is a problem.
5. Instead of Howard Cosell we get Tim McGraw? And they show 20 shots of fans during this "highlight show" but dont include Briggs laying out Ramsey?
6. "That was McNabbulous" Overtakes the crappy ABC anagram signs as dumbest sign ever.

Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
