Only the supersensitive "fan" of every NFL team East of Nevada. You're the only one who called me on it. Then Durkie called you out for being an overly sensitive little nancy bandwagoner. One of the national guys made the Manziel comment. I thought it was ridiculous (and kinda funny at the same time knowing it WASN'T going to happen anyway) and you get all butthurt, as they say.

pretty sure there were other posters above you whose posts I didn't have a problem with.
I am not a fan of the "i heard, I seen" type posts without any legitimate sources/evidence, but you do tend to be an over sensitive bitch.

Anyway, let's get back on topic. Why does ESPN keep picking shitty games for MNF? I don't understand how the redskins have had 2 this year. They only had 3 fucking wins last year.

It was an overtime game. Not sure how you could ask it to be better.

Cowboys, vs RGIII. Division matchup between two long standing, hated rivals.

That is why they had it onthe schedule.

I Know they talked about flexing the MNF game as well. Not too sure that would go over well with ticket holders, but then again, those attending the games are a small % of the revenue stream in any given week.

Flexing Monday night is not really possible. It's bad enough for the networks when the Sunday games are flexed, it would be very tough to flex Monday games.

The Redskins are on MNF because then they can play the racist card to get more viewers, nothing more, nothing less.

People have brought it up before. It could be done if it is announced a few weeks out. I believe now they have to give 2 weeks notice to flex SNF games, and at the end of the season I think it is just 1 week.

I know when they flex steelers games we have gone to it messes alot of shit up, but hey, we are just fans going to the game. The tickets re sold no matter what and they want the ratings!

That is way wrong. Way to much money and contracts with 3rd parties to be changing days. Personnel would change which would not fly, at all.

Not to mention, you would be fighting the union and would have to change dates if flights, as those are booked 3 months in advance. Networks aren't paying thousands of dollars for that shit.

Flexing the Sunday is just time change. If you change the date of the game too, it just creates many additional problems.

I would rather see them schedule 2 games on Monday night. One game would be national and the other regional (like we have with Sunday afternoon games). It would increase the odds of having better Monday night games.

Pretty much a dick move by Clayton. Almost like rooting for the quarterback of the team you are a "fan" of to get injured because you have a personal agenda to see the rookie QB take his place......

BTW...loved me some Ron Wolfley back in the day. Dude was a special teams demon for the Browns and quite a "character" off the field.

Clowney inactive due to an illness. Countdown said cold-like symptoms. Must be saving himself for the draft.

Tell me about it. I've questioned his toughness and dedication since the hype began. Haven't followed that close, but it apparently took him a good bit longer than anticipated to come back from his injury as well. Dude is lazy and apparently not tough if he can't play through a cold. Has bust all over him in my eyes.
