"Are you ready for some football?!" That six-word lyric, as bellowed out each week by country music superstar Hank Williams Jr., preluded each "NFL Monday Night Football" game, the first successful attempt to air a National Football League (NFL) football game in prime-time. Each week, two teams (as chosen months in advance by the NFL) met in what has become a Monday night tradition. Usually, a trio of sports-casters (a play-by-play announcer joined by a color commentator and an analyst) called the action. Half-time interviews with coaches and players, and sideline reports after outstanding plays were also innovations that contributed to the appeal of these games. Many of the games proved to be exciting, though sometimes the games were boring (especially if the teams were a mismatch or not very good, a necessary risk since the games were scheduled months in advance). Often serving as part of the announcing team were former NFL greats including OJ Simpson, Dan Dierdorf, Joe Namath and Lynn Swann.

New England Patriots vs. Minnesota Vikings

Mon, Oct 30, 2006

For Week Eight of the NFL Season, Monday Night Football aired the New England Patriots visiting the Minnesota Vikings. Following a comedic skit in which the cast of the television series Ugly Betty spoofed Bill Belichick's penchant for wearing sweatshirts on the sidelines, the broadcast segued to the game itself, a match-up between a Patriots team under fire from many experts because of wholesale changes to their wide receiver corps and a Minnesota Vikings squad a year removed from an embarrassing party cruise that helped lead to wholesale changes in personnel and the team culture. The Vikings entered the game 4-2 and fresh off a dramatic 31-13 road rout of the Seattle Seahawks, while the Patriots stood at 5-1 but were considered vulnerable after three shaky performances in Foxboro, this despite road routs in Cincinatti and Buffalo. The game itself would prove to be a crossroads in the season of both teams.
