I liked the reminising, the game was all over by then anyway. But that brings up an interesting question: where were the ESPN dudes? Normally for ABC's wild card weekend double header the ESPN dudes (Mike, Paul and Buttface) get the early game and the MNF team gets the late game. Instead ABC grabbed up their college A game announcers, I'm predicting some changes to Sunday night.

I don't mind reminising. But not during a play. When a play is going on, even if the game is a blow out, I want the announcers to focus on the play. That's what I do. Thankfully there's a MUTE button on the remote.

I agree, that was the writing on the wall for the inept Sunday night crew...."Say goodnight Joe!"

Wondered about that too.And,Chris Berman said it was great to hear B.M.-could someone's initials describe them any better?-doing an NFL game again.Did B.M. ever actually "do" NFL games?I know he hosted NFL Today on CBS,but I don't recall him in an NFL booth doing play-by-play.Maybe,I just don't recall it.

ABC doesn't want the ESPN guys on ABC. Nothing to do with Sunday night. They just don't want to step on Bret's toes. Mike Patrick was saying this would be the case back in October. It wasn't a surprise.
