Monday Night Football is not playing on ESPN Radio here in Dallas. I guess some other station has the Cowboys broadcasting rights. Sucks, I just missed out on like 30 minutes of the Giants stomping them while I drove home from dinner since I didn't bother to find the other station.
::edit::
Two thoughts so far on the game -
1. I like Brandon Jacobs more after every game I watch the Giants.
2. TO's drop on 4th down - AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Dallas fans get their wish in a Romo start of the second half...I'm betting Bill is gonna have nightmares after this one. If the cowboys offense could remotely protect the QB or at least open up a fraction of a hole for Jones they'd be dangerous. As it is I seriously doubt Parcells will be back next year in Dallas.
No matter what QB is there the line still sucks, bad. Romo had 3 ints..not too good I'd say. O well, I'm happy now that they lost :D
What a good game for the giants. Arrington was having a real breakout game but now he's out for the season :( . That combined with osi going down and tiki getting shaken up isn't very good. Eli didn't have the greatest game, a lot of his throws were off. And in the first half he was kind of just chucking the ball up in the air after that 50 yrd td toss to plax.
I feel bad for bledsoe, he looked pretty sad on the sideline when he got taken out, he's a nice guy. Did anyone see after arrington got the sack for a safety on bledsoe the camera cut to a fan with a sign that said "put in romo" or something like that? He walked right in, vick wouldn't have even been able to get away from that. Yea, i said the vick comment before theismann did :p .
What I'm wondering is why the cowboys didn't throw it to owens more. It's obvious that no one was able to cover him, they should have tossed more passes his way. I'm glad he took a shot from the safety when he got hit in the air, the giant safeties need to step it up with the hits.
Theismann was so damn annoying calling the game, he hates the giants for obvious reasons, and he doesn't hide it well.
edit: one more random thought, ESPN is annoying too. They had football updates about the same thing throughout the game. Ben getting a concussion, and hasselbeck's knee. Then they kept talking about tiki retiring and showing the interview 100 times. And they can't stop with the TO talk, they show him on the sidelines talking to a player or a coach, and the announcers assume that he's yelling at everyone about the game in his typical fashion. He wasn't even yelling, they have no clue what he's saying, he could be talking about a play or what to do in the game.
I agree about ESPN sucking on MNF. They had the guy from Desparate Housewives in the booth a few weeks back. I was like "*** are they doing talking to some clown on a show that only chicks watch during a testosterone laden football game?" Every week they have some clown in the booth jawing w/ them instead of talking about football. Last week they have sir charles in the booth. Just stupid. I hated Theismann as a cocky player, and hate him even more as a cocky announcer.
just thought of another thing. I HATE ROY WILLIAMS. That damn horse collar tackle is such bs, he did it to the giants 2 or 3 times (pulled on the jersey around the collar) and it didn't get called at all! You're not even allowed to grab the back of the jersey and tackle someone anymore. not cool
MNF on ESPN had the highest rating ever compared to ABC, so you may think it sucks but a lot more people watch it now.Quote:

I think he'll be gone because he doesn't want to put up with Jerry Jones' crap anymore.Quote:

... the hit that looked like he was almost snapped like a twig and his helmet flew off. My dad didn't see the game and I told him about it and he didn't think anything of it and then he said he heard people talking about it at work and wanted to see the hit but searching for it I can't find anything!!! I like the Colts, but that hit was CRAZY.
Ok I made the mistake of saying a "few years" back instead of a "few WEEKS" back w/ regard to when the clown from desparate househoes was in the booth. My bad and sorry for the confusion.Quote:

All the extra babbling going on in the booth w/ actors and sheeit is gonna get old real fast. You do know ABC owns ESPN right? It's a shameless plug for ABC shows when they have their actors in the booth.Quote:
