Quote: (Originally Posted by handmedown) can you explain monday night footy to me? isn't it better to play all the games on the weekend? i'm assuming its all about tv ratings rather than actually getting people watching the games?

Well, I was only a little kid when MNF started, but I guess they did it to showcase the sport, back when baseball was really more of the national pasttime. It sort of has become a tradition now. Also, there are more teams now and toward the end of the season, there are even some games scheduled on Saturdays. It used to strictly be a Sunday thing.
