Not the greatest teammate ever, but if you had to pick 1 WR from 1 season to be on your team, I think there’s a good case for Terrell Owens in 2004.

Could you also blame the Wrestling boom of the late 90s as a reason for Monday Night Football's decline during that period?

[@violenceteacher6669]

Absolutely. Wrestling was in its prime back then. WWF had Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, DX. WCW had the NWO, Sting, the Cruiserweight division, etc. Couple that with the star QBs getting old, and the result is fewer people watching Monday Night Football.

[@gagejernigan5277]

What about the time that they had to announced that Virgil Livers was taken out of the game because of a ruptured testicle, That was cringe worthy.

[@SPTO]

Looking at it now, that teaser for the game is rather quaint. I do think your contextualization explains perfectly why it got the backlash it did. If the Janet Jackson thing never happened this wouldn't have gotten near the controversy it did. As for the thought behind this? It actually made sense and plays in the "any publicity is good publicity" mantra but the timing of it was quite bad. BTW a note on something you said about the commentary stuff. Here's how bad Dennis Miller was, that season produced one of the better on field products for MNF in that era so he was such a turnoff that he kept people away from generally really good games. As for Kornheiser in the booth? It made some logical sense. ESPN was trying to rekindle the magic of a Howard Cosell type provocateur in the booth. It didn't quite work but it wasn't the worst idea in the world. After all, there's only ONE Howard. Great video as always.

I don't really get cringe that makes me stop and feel embarrassed for all involved, but this intro did it. My wife likes Desperate Housewives, didn't suddenly want to watch football. And I didn't suddenly want to watch 40 year old women scheme and drink cocktails. Why? Why you done what you done MNF?

[@benjaminmorris4962]

If that was softcover porn, than what would the Cowboys Cheerleaders be? And what would the movie Top Gun be?

[@louismasar6147]

Total miss... that would be funny on a tv show but not for an intro. That’s exactly how I like to start my football experience with🤣

[@millec60]

Would've been better if he had rejected her and gone to play football with the same ending

[@ShadySportsNetwork]

I honestly think this was way overblown and not an issue granted I was a fourteen-year-old boy when this came out

[@duketogo25]

Lol yeah you don’t count. Seeing a woman even remotely naked at that age, is a good thing.

[@DerekTheAwesome012]

That intro was more cringe worthy than my Facebook posts in middle school

[@johnthegreat97]

Well that was pretty Terrell-ble. I'll see my way out

[@rongamble8930]

How about, "Worst Scripted Moment in MNF History?" John Lennon's death and Joe Theismann's broken leg are in a completely different category.

[@jcrhea001]

When you mentioned the new shows ABC had in 2004 why didn't you mention Lost?

[@tastelesstube]

I assume that's the year they did the cross promo with Tony Dorsett, John Riggins, and cast members from Lost.

[@Boogaboioringale]

Jordan, @8:50 it clearly shows that Lost was also on ABC.

[@jcrhea001]

Yeah as a caption. That's why I didn't originally notice it.

[@benjaminmorris4962]

How was that racist? (I can kinda see[just slightly] how someone could think that it was slightly sexist tho...)

[@Dr._Klopek]

Well done video, but the worst moment in Monday Night Football was Howard Cosell having to announce that John Lennon had been killed

[@theecharmingbilly]

Yeah, real bummer. /sarcasm

[@marccalhoun1901]

In my Morgan Freeman Voice: "It was that moment that Greg Lansky had an idea for a website"

[@KManXPressTheU]

That's where Nicollette Sheridan's Career Officially Ended.

[@kwrbt2979]

But why? It was completely in line with her character on the show

[@KManXPressTheU]

@@kwrbt2979 Didn't matter; She didn't have A character or A career after that; Good Riddance.

[@THEDisneyNerd]

Poor Janet Jackson. Her whole career was destroyed by that halftime show.

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

I mean she hadn't been a big star for years at that point. Her career was already going downhill.

[@00ga-booga]

Part IV should have been called the OVER Reaction.

[@ac9559]

One of the dumbest clichés out there is "there's no such thing as bad publicity".

[@Obadiah50]

I remember this intro all to well. My immediate thought at the time - I just witnessed a train wreck. Watching it again? Still a train wreck.

[@Mike-kv5pl]

This is "The Worst Moment In Monday Night Football History"? I doubt it. I completely forgot about this.

[@richsolo7264]

They need to take Monday night football off espn and bring it to abc again and for the love of god get some decent play callers.

[@Mardigrasman23]

I remember a lot of the rating problems were due to the pitiful schedule Sunday match up were made for tv. Monday nights were an afterthought. I’ll bet the rating started to pickup when the Thursday night games began and got the crappy games so every team got scheduled a prime time game

[@willamobrien6292]

Imagine this in 2021. Cancel Culture and Gen Z would be on it like crazy.

[@dirkdiggler2865]

Feminists and soyboys would lose their gender confused shit

[@johnchedsey1306]

No one would care. But good job using big words you learned from a facebook group.

[@IllMatic97]

@Johnny Z'Salt bruh you sound like a beta right now.
