It is going to be the 36 greatest moments of Monday Night Football and our own Joe Thiesman will be one of the 36. Can anyone guess how he made the list? On clue, it still hurt to watch last night when they ran the preview for the show.

They did show him annoucing in the previews. offiss 08-23-2005, 04:19 PM I wonder if they will have Eddie Brown's infamous kickoff return late in the game to win it? [I believe it was against the cardinal's but not sure] firstdown 08-23-2005, 04:25 PM I wonder if they will have Eddie Brown's infamous kickoff return late in the game to win it? [I believe it was against the cardinal's but not sure]With all the great plays and great games it would be hard to narrow it down to just 36. BrudLee 08-23-2005, 04:29 PM It's "Greatest Moments", right? I hope they have that awkward silence that followed the first time Eric Dickerson referred to himself in the third person as a sideline reporter. That was quality TV. firstdown 08-23-2005, 04:54 PM It's "Greatest Moments", right?

What did Dickerson say? monk81 08-23-2005, 08:01 PM One of the best MNF games ;) Ken Houston stops Cryboys Walt Garrison at the goal line........... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/redskins/longterm/1997/history/allart/dw1973a.htm SmootSmack 08-23-2005, 08:13 PM One of the best MNF games ;) Ken Houston stops Cryboys Walt Garrison at the goal line........... http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/redskins/longterm/1997/history/allart/dw1973a.htm I could watch that highlight over and over again. It's just awesome. Other great Redskins Monday night moments have to include Art Monk breaking the record against the Broncos and, even though they lost, that 48-47 loss to the Packers in 1983 sportscurmudgeon 08-23-2005, 08:59 PM A top monent was back in the early/mid-70s was in an Oakland Raiders/Houston Oilers game. The Oilers stunk and the Raiders were winning about 35-0 with about 8 minutes to go in the game. The Astrodome had already just about empited out. During a stoppage in the action, ABC cameras panned to a secion of seats in the upper deck with only one guy in it. The camera panned in on this guy slumped down in his seat with his feel over the back of the seat in front of him. Once in close, the guy realized he was on camera and flipped the bird to the nation. Dandy Don Meredith never missed a beat. He immediately said, "Yes sir, he wants us all to know that the Oilers are #1 in the nation." If that isn't a highlight, then ignore the list!
