As time ticks down to kick off, I think what monday night football to me. The knowledge that everyone is watching the same game. The beging sound of the shows brings a smile to my face. We have had some good host and some that make you say hum. Now I am only 30, but rember Cosell, Gifford, Meredith, Simpson. At least the fatal comment Cosell made about Alvin Garrett being a little Monkey. I do not rember any of Namath, Gifford, and Simpson. I wish I did because I am sure Namath would of been good to hear some of his stories. Then The long lasting trio of Michaels, Gilfford, and Dierdorf. The best monday night song, "Allmy rowdy friends are here on Monday night". Hank Williams junior is awesome. Then in 1989 the trio of Michaels, Dierdorf, and Esiason, also the first time female commentaor Lesley Visser. She lead the way for Melissa Stark and Lise Guerrero. Joe Namath would call some good eye candy......lol. 1999 Dierdorf left leaving Michaels, Esiason, and the beging of the yellow line for first downs. Just rember they are not offical. Michaels and Easion did not make a good match so they left Eisason go after the super bowl. Then The Miller project. Michaels Foust and Miller. I like Miller when I was able to comprehend his sarcasim and one liners. Then The booth went to a two man format with Michaels and Madden. Love his video Games and some of his behind of the scences stories he has, Also his Videos game rocks. Then ABC Loses MNF. ESPN picks up the rights and introducing the trio of Tricio, Theisman, and Kornheiser. That was short Lived because Theisman was replaced by the great Ron Jaworski. So the soul part owner joins Tricio and Kornheiser.
