    I don't care for the MNF broadcast booth either, Tirico is better suited for Golf and NBA, not NFL.

    Kornheiser doesn't bring anything of any value to the broadcast. Jaws is the only one who knows shit, but his demeanor is just awkward, he's better suited for pre-game analysis rather than live color commentary.

    The booth is bleh, but the main issue for me is the actual games.

    It seems like NBC gets all the good games.

    NBC has the luxury of using flex scheduling so they can pick a different game before each week, whereas MNF's matchups are decided before the season...

    should be flip-flopped if you ask me...

    Yeah, I agree with you.

    Either way, MNF sucks balls.

    Come on, don't turn you back on thsoe wonderful mediocre years of the great Wayne Fontes era.

    Seriously, I just meant that even being the suck machine they are, they used to get some MNF game despite their record.

    My dad has season tickets and my earliest MNF game memory is the 12 men on the field game agaisnt Dallas (I even remember Johnny Carson joking about it the next night). We sucked when we got the Bears in 85 too. I guess the best way to have said it was despite sucking, the Lions at least used to get MNF games.

    I would've liked to see the Lions play the Patriots on MNF.

    You'd think they'd be able to win those first 3 right now, if you look at it on paper...maybe even the first 4, since there isn't really a lot of optimism about the Bears.

    I'm just going to mark down the games they'll have a chance to win, or should win, but will choke in...

    9/7- @ Falcons
    9/14- Packers
    9/21- @ 49ers
    9/28- BYE WEEK
    10/5- Bears
    10/12- @ Vikings
    10/19- @ Texans
    10/26- Redskins
    11/2- @ Bears
    11/9- Jaguars
    11/16- @ Panthers
    11/23- Buccaneers
    11/27- Titans (THANKSGIVING)
    12/7- Vikings
    12/14- @ Colts
    12/21- Saints
    12/28- @ Packers
    And maybe some other games...I'll revise at a later date.

    You know they'll lose the bye-week.

    Why would I be "that guy"?

    I'm delusional, but I am NOT a delusional Lions fan!
