    ESPN will kick off the new era of Monday Night Football with a doubleheader, NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced Monday.

    Washington will host Minnesota in the opener (Sept. 11, 7 p.m. ET), followed by San Diego at Oakland (10:15 p.m. ET).

    I wonder if any of this will change with Tags' retirement? Doubt it, but we can dream.

    That's great for ESPN and the NFL

    The major networks could never do it because they always had news or some syndicated show to air the same night.

    Increases AD revenue and exposure of the NFL

    Well, the game is going to end at around 1:30 AM on a work night.

    Most casual football fans don't watch the ending of 9 PM games.

    There also will be a lot of youngens who will not be able to watch any part of the game just because of the start time.

    Oakland and Minnesota might as well not show up because they will get discombobulated.
