Monday night football is broken right now.

It needs to be fixed.

I can't really pin point the exact problem, but it just seems off this year.

ESPN will probably think it has something to do with the broadcast team when in reality it has everything to do with the product on the field.

The NFL has simply turned stale.

The MNF problems, IMO, are from a combination of craptastic match ups and an oversaturated audience. Between a great line up of college games thus far in 2016, and a full day of NFL games on Sunday, staying up until 11 to watch Derek Anderson throw INTs sounds abysmal.

I think MNF in particular often just has terrible games and also suffers from an overly manufactured approach. It doesn't seem like the football is the main dish. All of the garnish is fine but it shouldn't distract from why you turned on the television.

Basketball (NBA) does it better. Every play you are constantly aware of how special the athleticism is and the game is more interesting as a result.
