I was in this. We filmed it at a church off of Santa Monica Blvd, on a rainy Halloween night. At 0:28 sec I'm in the 2nd row back, 3rd guy to the left, wearing a Red Sox jersey-I'm a Yankee fan by the way. And at 0:49 seconds you see me standing up wearing a Patriots shirt. And at 1:19 same jersey. LMAO I am also a member of the Black Hole Raiders MNF with William Shatner-Just can't find that video anywhere. Made also in 2003

[@robminmonaca]

Abc did very well with the production of Monday night football. ESPN doesn't anymore.

[@TheLocalLt]

rob mush this was produced by ESPN lol, ESPN has produced all sports on ABC since late 1997. The difference is the people who produced this game now work for NBC, that’s the real issue here

[@TheLocalLt]

suny123boy1 yea before 1997, did you even read the comment?

[@jmurraymo81]

Although ABC Sports at that time was ESPN, there is a notable difference. This is because when NBC got the rights to Sunday Night Football, they hired most of the MNF crew from ABC, including the executive producers. The new Monday Night Football - which is what today’s broadcast on ESPN is a descendant of - is the old ESPN Sunday Night Football.

[@bubbafug00gle51]

Like most things it comes down to money... network budget vs cable budget. Also, to a lesser extent, on the weekly network game you are trying to drum up a broader audience. The focus is more on entertainment than football. On the cable games you are more often letting the game be the draw for more committed fans

[@MeisterJager90]

Lol you can tell it was recorded on VCR. Hank Williams Jr was the best opening ever.

[@SlothGamer82]

1.21 gigawatts of MNF intro.

[@untexan]

Memorable game too. Pats were down 1, backed up on the goal line late, Belichick took an intentional safety to go behind by 3, then they got the ball back and scored a TD to win.

[@AmirKhan-yv8jm]

Why take a safety?

[@sauron9990]

This was the game where Bellichick called for the deliberate safety with ~ 3 minutes left in the game. That put the Patriots down by 3. The defense then caused a 3 and out and Brady took them down the field for the go ahead touchdown with 34 seconds left amazing game. Most ballsyest decision I have ever seen from the Patriots

Why take a safety instead of punting?

Was on my last night of honeymoon in Maui & shocked to find out MNF on ABC was tape delayed, unlike the Sunday games which were all live. Regardless, we left to be at airport early to have dinner while waiting for 10:30p red eye. So radio it was for this Patriots season ticket holder which wasn't preferred but had to do. Thus, listened to the "on purpose" safety work to perfection & as we pull into the airport, I listen to the winning TD pass, Brady to Givens with I think it was 30 seconds left!

And BTW, Don Shula the legendary Dolphins coach says the Pats Superbowls should have an asterisk next to them or at the very least should be questioned, just like Barry BOnd's homerun record. The Pats are the Barry Bonds of the NFL. Their superbowl wins will always be questioned. You can't say the same with the Cowboys, 49ers, Packers, Bears, Colts, Broncos, Ravens. Their championships aren't questioned, just the Pats and by the fans of the other 31 teams. Fact.

And Boomer Esiason made one of the great calls I've ever heard when, with the Pats trailing 22-21 and pinned on their 1-yard line with about 5 minutes left, he suggested tha the Patriots take a safety. He made the suggestion on first down,and eventually on fourth down Belichick did exactly that. The rest is history. 28-24 Pats.

What ever happen to the excitement of Monday night football they could get us so riled up ready to go before the game, loved those days...

[@otaviofrnazario]

The tv contract of 2006 happened. NBC made Sunday Night what Monday Night was, in terms of relevant games, big rivalries, even the playoff games that ABC uesd to have (until the 2014 contract in which ESPN got a wild card playoff game and NBC got one Divisional game). They even hired Al and John. The momentum might swing back to Monday Night a bit in the next tv contract. Disney wants to enter the Super Bowl rotation, and for that they're willing to put MNF on ABC again (of course, under the ESPN on ABC moniker). They've had the MLB and college basketball returning to ABC this year, for example. And MNF had some big games lately to be honest. Some weeks, especially in the early part of the season without the flex schedule, it's better to watch whatever game MNF has than a 2, 3 Win Cowboys against the Eagles in similar situation on Tank Division
