Who's watching Monday Night Football?

[Stoner4Life]

I have to compliment Baltimore on an inspirational performance. They were heavy underdogs but still went out and played their hearts out. I think everyone can agree that they didn't leave anything on that field. They played with passion like i've never seen. Standouts for me were.

-Ray Lewis banging the ball out Randy Moss's hands in the endzone forcing NE to kick a field goal(I was jumpin up and down like crazy)

-Willis Magahee cuttin and juking perfectly for a 20+ yarder and Jonathan Ogden who opened up that lane for him with a good block

- Kyle Boller dodging pressure by 2 defenders (one even got a hand on him) and completing a pass downfield. loved that mobility

- and everyone on the Baltimore team who probably would have won if Bellick hadn't called that time out.

Seriously though, I've never been that inspired by a game. Showed alot of passion against the probably most talented team in the league. Even though the results weren't what I wanted, i'll remember this one for a while. I was standing up nearly the whole game.
peace

I have to agree all the way around in your opine bro.
Although I was rooting for the Patriots I did find myself cheering the truly inspired play of Baltimore a 19.5 point dog going into the game. The Ravens lost a game they deserved to win.

BTW I'd be interested in hearing opinions about the
quality of the ESPN MNFootball Broadcast Booth.

I'm always so antagonistic in berating those who are so deserved whether here or in other forums, so.......
I'll put this as mildly as possible in saying that since ESPN took over I've actually forgotten there is a MNF game at all, with the exception of watching a game like last night I just always seem to forget. The broadcasting portion of the game is just forgettable.

Espn commentators are corney, cheese lines like some wanna be comics, but you will love them after you here the guys on the nfl network, straight garbage.

ESPN announcers are definatley the worst.

I'm a big pats fan and I'll admit they got lucky last night...especially with that time out. But as far as the ravens complaining about the officiating at the end...c'mon. Did they not see some of their pass interferences throughout the entire game that went uncalled? Hell even that hail mary someone held down asante so he couldn't block the ball.

I can even see complaining about the personal foul after the touchdown at the end (I didn't see it or know what he did but w/e), but they really shot themself in the foot my imploding and throwing the flag (then going offsides!). I could go on forever about this but I'll end with...

GO PATS!

oh yeah! I'll bet they are.......
bottom of the barrel garbage no doubt, take a rip through the top ten sports shows (whether your favs or not) and you've gobbled up the best of the 'color men' in the business. With ESPNs gang there's a serious lack of flow, lack of info, lack of familiarity not only with the players but with the game as well. The play-by-play has NO emotion in it at all, Tirico is da woist!
