    ANOTHER MNF STINKER

    Although Monday night's game between the Panthers and the Bucs wasn't nearly as pathetic as the November 6 Raiders-Seahawks get-together, the viewers have spoken.

    The most recent Monday night game nudged out Oakland at Seattle as the lowest-rated Monday night game. Ever.

    This week's game was off by more than 270,000 households from last week's previous all-time low of 7.587 million homes.

    But ESPN continues to whip up the chicken salad. "With a 37 percent increase over ESPN's coverage over last season, Monday Night Football is exceeding our expectations," ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz told the AP. "And we're looking forward to an exciting stretch run."

    In our view? It's not going to get much better. As we discussed Tuesday night on Sporting News Radio with Jim Talamonti (who was filling in for an under-the-weather Todd Wright), we believe that viewers will gravitate toward NBC's flex-scheduled games over the balance of the season, since the coming Holidays might make it harder to justify setting aside two consecutive nights each week for watching football.

    Cool thing is the Panthers still get paid the same regardless of how many people watch it.

    I saw it (in person) and that's all I care about. And honestly, regardless of the teams involved, it's the commentators I can't stand. Theisman is a jerk and I really don't like Corbheiser either. And the whole celebrity guest thing is HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE. Get the folks from Entertainment Tonight to do the show. I just want to scream at the whole crew TELL ME ABOUT THE FRIGGIN GAME or SHUT THE HELL UP.

    It was the first MNF game I have watched much of this year and they are just terrible. When Jeff Gordon came on I turned it to the radio broadcast. If they want to bring on celebrities they should do it at halftime or something. They need to fire Cornholio and Thighsman right away.

    It really was a boring fucking game for anyone not a fan of one of the teams.

    Shit...I think Tony K. is great. Jeff Gordon had no business on there, but overall the crew is pretty strong.
