Goodbye ABC!

36 years of Monday Night Football and 555 games on ABC came to an end last night.

Thank you Keith Jackson, Howard Cosell and Don Merideth for starting everything off in 1970. And to all that have hosted or sideline reported since... Frank Gifford, Alex Karras, Fred Williamson, Fran Tarkenton, OJ Simpson, Joe Namath, Al Michaels, Dan Dierdorf, Lynn Swann, Boomer Esiason, Lesley Visser, Dan Fouts, Dennis Miller, Eric Dickerson, Melissa Stark, John Madden, Lisa Guerrero, Michele Tafoya, Suzy Kolber, Sam Ryan.

Yes I know Disney owns both ABC and ESPN, but ESPN ruins everything it touches, so it will be interesting to see how ESPN kills Monday Night Football.

Turn out the lights, the party's over!

I hear the real reason that ESPN cancelled Cold Pizza was so that they could take that entire team and move them over to MNF.

I can't wait for Skip Bayless and Woodie Paige to blab incessently over the action.

That would ruin MNF!
