Here’s the “Monday Night Football” schedule for this season. What do you think? Bad slate?

Week 1: Eagles at Falcons, Vikings at 49ers (I would watch both of those games, even if it weren’t opening weekend)

Week 2: Jets at Colts

Week 3: Chiefs at Packers

Week 4: Lions at Seahawks (could have been a matchup in last season's NFC divisional round, had some calls gone Detroit’s way)

Week 5: Steelers at Chargers

Week 6: Giants at Eagles

Week 7: Ravens at Cardinals

Week 8: Colts at Panthers

Week 9: Bears at Chargers

Week 10: Texans at Bengals

Week 11: Bills at Patriots

Week 12: Ravens at Browns

Week 13: Cowboys at Redskins

Week 14: Giants at Dolphins

Week 15: Lions at Saints

Week 16: Bengals at Broncos

Any slate that has that Bengals twice can be seen as bad...

I know it isn’t earth shattering, but I believe it’s mildly interesting to us NFL fans. The new season is creeping up on us.

Good, they should be punished for relentlessly promoting that homo player and all things homosexual. Between them and Sports Illustrated, it was way over the top.

I don’t think the slate is that bad. Of course it should be mentioned that ESPN has now parted ways with both of the mentioned employees.

Dallas Cowboys at New Orleans Saints

San Francisco 49ers at NY Giants

New England Patriots at Indianapolis Colts

Philadelphia Eagles at Carolina Panthers

Green Bay Packers at Denver Broncos

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks

Wow. No kidding. Except for maybe the two SF games, they look like great match-ups.

Cowboys versus the Redskins. HOW POLITICALLY INCORRECT!

It should be billed as “The White racist genocide practitioners against the pure Indigenous noble savages”

“Chiefs at Packers”. Renamed “Noble Indian Leaders versus Meat Industry Workers”

“Giants at Eagles” - “Stature-enhanced men versus the National Symbol”

“Lions at Saints” - “the King of the Jungle versus genocidal religious iconoclasts”

ESPN: TOTALLY IRRELEVANT TO NORMAL LIFE!

“What’s wrong with Bill Simmons?”

I’ve never watched BSPN since they canned Rush, but from I’ve read, Simmons regularly bashed Goodell.

Week 8 Could be a Superbowl preview.

Panthers, and Colts playoffs last 2 years.

ESPN could not reach an agreement with him on a new contract and pretty much exiled him until his current one runs out here shortly. He was very hard on Goodell.

NBC, the all Steelers network.

3 games on SNF, and they pretty much sucked last year. They get more SNF games than any other team most years.

Yep, the Thanksgiving game at SF. Don’t want to offend any Niner fans here, but I believe there going to be pretty much irrelevant this year.

They’ve pretty much had a lousy schedule since NBC has had the Sunday Night games.

“Chiefs at Packers”. Renamed “Noble Indian Leaders versus Meat Industry Workers”

"Noble Indian Leaders versus Animal Destroyers Packaging Company"

I think there’s so much parity anymore that they all could be good games or stinkers. Now parity only goes so far - only certain teams can win the Super Bowl, but all but the worst can make a game of it with anyone on any Monday night it seems.

Looks solid to me.
