MNF is different than your average Sunday game. It is a national game that has to appeal to more than just the fans of the teams playing. That's why both ABC and ESPN have worked to create it is more of a regular entertainment option rather just a pure football sport game. I doubt ESPN will or even should abandon that strategy. It may turn off some more hardcore type fans (like us) but it also makes the product more accessible to the masses...and that's the point really.
