[edit] Sources Needed From Better Places
A lot of the sources come from forums and not official websites which would have accurate information. I think the article needs to be picked apart and researched with appropriate sources. 38.115.60.50 20:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Neutrality dispute
It seems as if a fan does not enjoy the new ESPN Monday Night Football discussion... "he is balding, which doesn't help at all" is definately not NPOV.
[edit] ABC 'losing' deal
ESPN is owned by ABC, so ABC really isn't losing the deal with the NFL, just moving it to another network.
- ESPN is only partially owned by ABC. In fact, it's more accurate to say both are owned by the Walt Disney Company. ESPN does operate in a matter of speaking, independantly of ABC, although they have fundamental sports ties. Starting in the fall of 2006, the seperate production segment of ABC Sports was dissolved, and all live sports are ESPN productions (thus the "ESPN on ABC" monikor). So it is still accurate to say ABC "lost" MNF. You could say though that WDW still maintained it. Doctorindy 17:46, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] ESPN Monday Night Football
If someone knows how get copyright permission from the ap they might want to put the MNF crew picture on this article
[edit] Berman
berman is the halftime host now and has been for as far back as i can remember, not just 1996-1997--Jaysscholar 20:59, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
The only non-playoff game I can think of he did was the telethon w/Robin Roberts
[edit] Theme Song
I found an .mp3 version of the theme song. If someone could find an .mp3 of the other version they used for a while, could they post it on the page as well?--KoopaTroopa211 23:31, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
The theme song to MNF "Heavy Action," was not used until the later part of the 1970s. Mention must be made of the farfisa organ sounding intro and outro theme music during the first three or four years of MNF. User:Efrem7
- In the late 90s and early 2000s, a secondary theme was used... kind of jazzier, had little in common with the standard MNF theme. Any ideas what it is? MojaveNC 05:52, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History section needs a serious makeover
Seems like the history section currently needs a serious makeover. It's first lead sub-section crams everything and anything. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Explain in more detail. The pre-1970 information should be there to offer perspective on how the show developed.
[edit] Past tense
Why are some parts of the article in past tense already? They haven't signed off their last telecast yet... --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:05, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Illustration
Shouldn't we use a picture of the actual announcing crew rather than one of actors who portrayed them in a movie? MK2 06:11, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
We should. I'll look and see if I can find a picture of the three of them together. MarkLucas 06:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
A quick search on Google didn't find any pictures of the three of them together. Wouldn't there be many pictures of them since they were such icons and worked so well together? MarkLucas 06:46, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] College Bowl games
Does anyone have a list of the games they did
- The only one I'm certian of exactly is the 1/1/92 Sugar Bowl. It was shown on ESPN Classic a while back. They did do others, but that would take some research. Doctorindy 17:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] U.S. postage stamp
I restored this image for two reasons: (1) it's the only public domain image in the article as it is a U.S. government illustration, (2) postage-stamp honors are so rare in the U.S., that this merits inclusion in the article. —Twigboy 00:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Technical flubs
Would a mention of "NFL GENERIC / AAAAAAAAAAGGGG" be proper if it keeps happening? It's been two weeks so far.
[edit] Radio
I could be wrong, but I think someone filled in for Esiason on the radio for Mon. 11/27/06. I listened to the broadcast for a short time, and it did not sound like him. Doctorindy 17:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hank Williams Jr.
- When did they start using the "Are You Ready For Some Football?" theme song? WizardDuck 21:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

- I remember seeing the 1991 Super Bowl on NFL Network earlier this year (but foolishly didn't record it immediately) and I remember hearing that theme then, so my guess is probably 1990. WAVY 10 19:02, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

- I definitely remember it happening in 1989. I remember my freshman year roommate doing an imitation of it. I never saw the guy again after that year, so there's no way it could have been later. I suspect it wasn't earlier, either, but I'm not 100% sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.154.143 (talk) 17:00, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Owens-sheridan-skit.jpg
Image:Owens-sheridan-skit.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:27, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Local stations?
If anyone has a chart of the local stations that have shown MNF in a simulcast throughout the 2007 season, similar to one on the Run to the Playoffs page, I would appreciate it being added to this site. - Desmond Hobson (talk) 18:29, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- You might be able to find that on each of the 2007 <Team Name> season articles. Not sure if every article does it like this article, though.—Twigboy (talk) 21:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
