ESPN could afford it and made sense to them. ABC already decided they couldn't handle the NFL anymore
Wow, when could ABC ever handle Football.
ABC's has had some of the WORST commentators in the booth for Football (Frank Gifford for example) for years. Their Directors cut to the wrong cameras on regular occasions, not mention ALWAYS picking the worst angles and cameras to show replays. But my all time favorite was ABC's Directors picking sideline cameras to show Field Goal Kicks so you couldn't even tell if the ball went through the uprights.
As good as ESPN is at sports coverage and that ABC owns ESPN how in the world is it that ABC can't get a decent tech crew and commentators to cover games.
The worst was when ABC had two of the Three Stooges in the booth, Frank, Dan. I always waited for Dan's signature line that was uttered at least twice a night, "He's having a Hall of Fame Night" How is that possible. Last I checked nobody got to the Hall of Fame from his performance for ONE GAME. I can't tell you how many times I almost kicked my TV in when Frank started blathering about Codie or Kathy, "FRANK ITS' A FOOTBALL GAME not OPRAH."
Lastly I always hated the skewed Monday Night Statistics. Really what do any of those stats mean, in a word NOTHING. Especially since ABC always got the best matchups and some teams appeared at least once a season and sometimes twice a year and some teams never played on Monday Night, year after year. Stats are to be used to compare against the league and other teams, would anybody give any credance to stats for only 4:00 starts on Saturday games at the end of the season, NO of course not, so stop these bull#$*t Monday Night Stats.
