I kind of fet the same way, TMC. I watched most of the first half the other day and I thought the first team actually played pretty well. Not lights out obviously, but for a preseason game against an agressive defense I saw some good things to take away from the game.
They still have alot of work ahead of them to get to where they want to go, but it is obtainable to have a good team this year.
Yeah, I mean it's like the media was just looking for anything to start something. Straight up, TW held his own and them some against one of the best pass rushers in the league.

question Smoot..
why does ESPN still call it MNF during the preseason when they cover a game, regardless of the day it's played on? talking about TV listings, graphics, etc

What exactly do you do SS? if you don't mind me asking
And Bradford is 11-14 2 td's. Looks like he's definitely the opening day starter

I hate that I can't watch both games.. but I think that they're playing the Rams game at 11 on NFLN, so I guess watching 2 games back to back is alright

Because it's about the brand name really. Monday Night Football should be viewed together as one phrase, don't focus so much on the Monday part of it

I'm a moderator on a Redskins message board...but to pay the bills I do other stuff. I used to acquire programming rights and schedule them on ESPN's tv networks, along with a team of others. Now I work mainly in the non-tv world. My job deals with a lot of stuff that doesn't exist yet. Not to be all CIA on you, but I work on the business strategy for ESPN projects that are months, sometimes years, down the road and how to make it successful for fans, leagues, advertisers, etc. So one day when say you're watching Monday Night Football on your Wii while chatting with Trent Dilfer, you'll think of me

Smoot, I always wondered what you did up there. That sounds like a very fun and demanding job full of a good bit of stress to perform.
Now I know why you may get a little defensive when folks bash ESPN's programming! I can see why it may be a little personal to you.
P.S. I was holding out hope that you were secretly Scott Van Pelt. lol... by far one of my favorite on air personalitys at the Mothership.
