Did the NFL punish ESPN with bad 'Monday Night Football' games?

It was reported that ESPN’s lackluster upcoming slate of Monday Night games was believed to be retribution for Bill Simmons and Olbermann’s criticism of the league and Goodell. To that end, we’re hearing there are some ESPN folks who think the league denied a request for a Monday Night Football matchup featuring the Cowboys against a specific opponent due to Simmons and Olbermann’s vocal criticism this past year.

ESPN’s MNF crew leaves much to be desired. They could have all of the best matchups in the league and the show would still be boring.

Mr. Ego as the color man and the other dumb-ox, play-by-play announcer who thinks that he is a comedian are simply losers and turn-offs.

The MNF schedule has gone down hill since NBC started broadcasting SNF.

Monday Night Football is on cable.

Sunday Night Football is on broadcast TV.

If I were the NFL, I’d try to get the “best” games on Sunday Night.

Goodell is a vindictive little bitch, so I wouldn’t put it past him.
