Let me ask you this - what did the Rams do in 2005 to warrant a MNF game in 2006?
One thing for ya'll to consider is that the first MNF is the "late" game. Nobody on the East Coast who isn't a fan of either team will be watching this game. As well, MNF has lost much of its luster. Between being moved to cable and the craptacular announcing, it's safe to say MNF ain't what it used to be.
The real "showcase" game is now SNF. The announcing crew is better and it's available for everyone to see, not just those who have cable. The "prestige" of a SNF becomes greater later in the season, with the best matchups being hand-picked the week before. Any team feeling slighted about not having any prime time games can earn themselves one later in the year.
