“Retaining 'Monday Night Football' simply did not make smart financial sense for ABC. We could not reconcile the fees against the revenue. We love football at ABC. It's been a love affair for 36 years. It will go down in the history of sports television, being created on ABC and with this magnificent run. But at this point, given the success we're having with our entertainment product and the financials, we deemed that this was the proper move for us. We're not looking back .” YearsRunningMovingNightGivenSportsTelevisionFootballProductsSmartAffairFinancialEntertainmentMagnificentLooking BackMondayRevenueLove AffairReconcileFeesRetainingMonday NightMonday Night Football Author:George Bodenheimer

“Well, you missed out on some important protocol, Ella. You can't stand between a Texan and his power tools. We like them. Big ones that drain the national grid. We also like truck-stop breakfasts, large moving objects, Monday night football, and the missionary position. We don't drink light beer, drive Smart cars, or admit to knowing the names of more than about five or six colors. And we don't wax our chests, ever.” WellsImportantBigsLightMovingNightNamesKnowingFiveCarPositionObjectsFootballColorDrinkSixSmartToolsBeerChestsBreakfastMissionaryMondayTruckDrainsGridsProtocolTexanMonday NightPower ToolsMonday Night FootballLight Beer Book:Smooth Talking Stranger: Number 3 in series Source: Smooth Talking Stranger: Number 3 in series
