Super Sunday night game topped MNF Yeah, I know, I seem to be on a rip-the-Monday-night-crew kick. But here's the thing that capsuled it for me: At halftime, all we heard was how "entertaining" the game was. I didn't hear that word used one time on Sunday night, when some real football was played. |
