MNF seems worse.

we tolerate it because they are the NFL and can do whatever the *** they want.

They could make you hook electrical wires up to your crotch in order to watch MNF and 90% of football fans would do it.

I wish there was somethign we could do. This pisses me off quite a bit, along with many other elements of nfl broadcasts.

Business...Nice coverage of the games comes with nice advertising to make broadcast companies richer :WTF:

yeah...what do you expect. It's not the NFL either. IF the networks wanted to show commercial free coverage the NFL would be just fine with that. They get their big payday either way. Fox and CBS just gave the NFL 8 billion dollars through 2011. That's why there are commercials.
