    2 Games Every Monday!!
    Who would like to see a double header every Monday night??

    I know I would!! I thought it was great.. Just the way they ahd it set up..

    A great way to run it would be to have East Coast and Central Time zone teams play the early game.. And for the late Mountain and Pacific.. That allows the fans of those teams to be able to see there team at a better time..

    I would like to see it happen, but the NFL and Directv wouldnt like it. It would make that Sunday Ticket package even more of a rip off. Less games, for the same high price.

      OT would present a problem. But the 1st game could start a little earlier.

        Onlooker: You think Sunday NFL Ticket is a ripoff? Curious as to why you think that way.

          Well, since the NFL network is picking up some of the games this year. Its providing less games on the Sunday Ticket package. The less games you get, and the price staying the same, it makes it more of a ripoff. If you take away another game a week to add to a Monday double header, thats 17 less games a year.

          Dont you feel your getting less for your money?

            Actually, the price went up this year. I think $20. Now that Super Fan stuff they were pushing last year and this for $99 was a ripoff, IMO. I just trashed that flyer.

            Overall, despite a few less games, still pretty good value since it amounts to about $13 a week.

            I'm sure we all remember when you could not get a score on games for 30, 40 minutes at a time. Then NBC introduced the 10-minute ticker. Only problem was the scores only came up every 20 minutes.

              Good thing there is sports sites that provide up to date scores.

              I just dont like the fact that there are games being taken away from the package by other networks picking up more games.

              If I did have the Sunday ticket, I think I would add the "Super Fan" add on. Just for the fact of more games in HD. Im HD crazy at the moment. Once you watch a game in HD, its hard to watch one that is not.

                How often do we have OT in the NFL maybe 1 out 15 or 20 games, so maybe it causes a problem once a year.. They could always start the other game and join it in progress..

                I love the Idea!! I hope the NFL looks in to it...

                  Call me old school, but I like the one game format better myself.

                  Don't get me wrong I love football, and even though ABC doesn't have the MNF anymore. I will always remember Monday night football the way it was.

                  The ESPN coverage of this just flat out sucks! All the way from who they have in the broadcast booth, too the scoreboard ticker they have right in the middle of the screen.

                    that was fun having that much football on yesterday and I'd love to see it more, but agree with most here that it won't happen...
