MNF Rating was the lowest in the ABC program's 35 years

I'm not sure what this means for the Sports industry, but it's not good to see my favorite televised sport receive low ratings.
Anyway I'm done ranting... I was wanting a Pit/Phil Super Bowl, but with Big Ben hurt and my boi TO out... I'm not sure it's going to happen. How about those cheese heads? They might pull it off.

Every Monday (but the last game) I've gone out with my friends and watched. I can saw that the MNF games this year were not that great and I think that is the only reason for the decline in viewers. I mean look at this weeks Monday game... Who cares about the Rams vs. Eagles! Eagles sat 8 of the 9 Pro Bowlers and the Rams had Faulk and other star player hurt and not in the game. It was a pointless game, so why watch. I'm from St. Louis, had free tickets to the game even, but I still didn't go. If T.O. and Mcnabb played the entire game and if it was for a wild card spot I woulda been all about it...``Monday Night Football'' is heading into the final year of its contract with the NFL. The exclusive negotiating period for ABC and its broadcast partner ESPN, which has the Sunday night game, extends for nearly another year. But there's been speculation that other networks might challenge for the Sunday night and Monday night packages.
Last month, the NFL agreed to $8 billion in extensions with Fox and CBS to televise Sunday afternoon games for six more years. The deals also would allow the league to show better matchups late in the season in prime time.
