Can we make this a Michael Vick free zone?

Vick stuff is going to die down in a week anyway. He is banned, he will get sentenced after the trial and that is that. Once the regular season begins Vick is on the backburner for awhile.

I agree with your assement once the real games start everything else in sports will be on the backburner, including Vick. I'm also tired of these gloried practice games too, enough with the preseason already!

We need a "Was Vick genuine in his press conference" poll :)

You know what was really funny. Tonight, right at the beginning of MNF, Tirico says, "We will try to tallk about the game some." Then they had a lawyer in the booth that knew as much about the case as I do, which is to say, not much. That broadcast is irretrievably broken. I don't think I'll be watching anymore.

MNF seems to be missing something which can't quite put my fingers on. I do know though that I don't like it. Maybe I've been spoiled by Al Michael and Co.

That's what they all say...but you'll come back.

Well, this is a constant topic of debate at work. What's wrong with MNF and how do we fix it? I think a big "problem" is that a lot of viewers incorrectly assumed that when it went back to ESPN it would go back to being about the game. And to an extent it should be. But the reality is that this is a business, and MNF is designed to appeal to more than just your diehard football fan.

No one misses Al Michaels...no one at work anyway

what is wrong with al michaels?

I hope the MNF intro isn't quite as embarrassing as it was last year. And less celebs in the booth pimping their latest movies would be nice too.

You know what's nice about a forum? If you see a Vick thread, you don't have to read it! It's the biggest story in sports right now and new developments come every day.

To Matty, I heard that the MNF intro got updated again and is a big cameo. Sounds terrible. Maybe I misheard the radio.

Nope.
