Sometimes,
'Monday Night Football' makes bad scheduling and game decisions.
Consider this laughable stat:
Last year, the Dolphins and Falcons, which combined for a 5-27 record, got THREE appearances on Monday; in contrast, Dallas and Green Bay, which both went 13-3, got TWO combined appearances.
Also, sometimes, ABC used to schedule Sunday night games that were marquee matchups and put a dud on Monday.
1980- Chargers vs. Cowboys was on Sunday night, while Dolphins/Jets was on Monday night.
Let me get this straight. ABC chose a game between the at-the-time anonymous and very-boring Dolphins (or Dull-phins, as I refer to those early 80s pre-Marino teams) and a not-so-great Jets team.
Air Coryell vs. America's Team, a marquee matchup that would have been perfect for Monday night, gets shafted in favor of a big market with a bad team?
1983- Raiders/Cowboys was on Sunday night; Giants/Cardinals was on Monday.
This was beyond stupid. The at-the-time unbeaten Cowboys against the last Raider world championship team gets a Sunday night slot (Sunday night games were not as common as they are now), while a game between a barely-above-.500 Cardinal team and a 3-win Giants team got the big-time slot?
Fittingly, Raiders/Cowboys was a 38-37 thriller, while the G-Men and Cards played to a TIE. Can you say poetic justice?
Anyway,
can you ever recall any questionable ideas/choices for a 'Monday Night' game?

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.
