It’s not so much that I actually stayed up and WATCHED all those ABC Monday Night Football games. But I did watch the first hour or so of a bunch of them. Then the voices of Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, Al Michaels, and Frank Gifford lulled me to sleep. Nothing like sleeping on the floor with a good game in the background.
It was a good three-and-a-half-decade run.
Now it’s on ESPN, probably an inevitable transition in the age of five zillion cable stations.

Yesterday I got to whisk three little nieces (ages 5, 6 [the one from Vietnam], and 12) and my youngest female first cousin (age 14) around in a golf cart. What a blast! Missouri reunions don’t come often enough.
I still miss Dandy Don Meredith.
“Turn out the lights…
the party’s over…”
I guess that all good things must end.
And yesterday I heard that MY little niece and nephew (little is relative) are making a trek back to Abilene following the ZOE conference.
A suggestion here: Don’t turn the golf cart over to either of them.
I couldn’t help but think that all the hoopla about MNF leaving ABC was nothing more than promotion for it going to ESPN. Since when has a show changing networks gained so much attention? Usually when a show changes networks it is because it isn’t doing to well.
I feel like people are giving a going away party to a neighbor moving next door.
