  • NFL "double header"

    From JGibson@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 9 07:01:17 2022
    This supposed "double header" with games at 7:15 PM Eastern and 8:30 PM Eastern is actually eliminating one of the whole points of MNF - to have an isolated game that the whole nation can watch.

    I actually liked the true double header model with the east game early and the west game late. Now, we have two eastern teams - Buffalo and Philadlephia - hosting staggered but competing games.

    No longer matters. MNF is not nearly the drawing power it used to be with Howard and Dandy Don.
