the patient's status remains unchanged



MNF is on life support and fading fast. Is there any way that ESPN will bring back it's cracker jack team next season?

Tony "I know more than you" Kornheiser continues to annoy. This week he kept repeating, "This is the kind of game that makes people wonder if Jay Cutler should be the starter in Denver." Get a producer on this guy. Tony, we heard you the first ten times you told us.

Theisman is the only one holding up his end. Tirico, I'm sorry Mike you're boring and just not smooth enough for MNF. Killer reception, fumble, three and out; it's the same monotone, maybe you raise your voice but there is no emotion or inflection.

"This is a good football game."

I appreciate defense & I realize defensive teams have won superbowls but three to three with five minutes remaining in the third period, is not a good game. There are two sides to the game. Fans didn't sit in a driving rain to see two field goals. I was praying the rain turned to snow for the little bit of excitement it would provide.

In regards to the weather:

Why are the referees given water repellent tops yet they wear their dry weather pants?

Why don't coaches wear rain coats? Is it a, "I'm down in the trenches with you boys" mentality. A hooded rain coat is not a sign of weakness and the absence of one is not a sign of solidarity.

Why would a fan attend a game in jeans when the forecast called for rain?

As for the guest stars:

Besides promoting his new show, why was Desperate Housewives star James Denton in the booth? The status of his character's coma is of no interest to me. Correct me if I'm wrong but Mike Delfino made no mention of being a fan of either team or hailing from either city. Was he flown in for the game to plug his show? This is football, if ESPN wants to promote a show on its sister network then air a spot during the commercial breaks. If the network continues to put non football celebrities in the booth while the game is underway I might just barf.
