#10 Monday Night Football

Mondays suck. But they suck a little less during the football season thanks to Monday Night Football.

MNF began in 1970 and ran on ABC for 25 years before moving to ESPN. *sigh* ESPN does their best, but they just don't seem to get the marquee games on a regular basis.

The trouble is, MNF was much harder on us East Coasters than anywhere else. A game would normally end well past midnight, which was bad for your Tuesday mornings.

It's hard to describe the coolness of a prime time game. On Sundays everyone's attention is scattered. So many games being played all over the place. And usually on Sunday you'd be hanging out with your buddies cuz that's what weekends are made for.

However, Monday nights are a completely different experience. You're probably alone, but you're enjoying that solitary experience with the rest of the country. Everyone is watching the same game and you're part of it.

I know there are people out there who don't give a hoot about sports. But to me, they're a part of what makes life good.
