Okay, so I was chilling at home last night, flipping through channels, and guess what? There were two NFL games on at the same time on a Monday! I was like, “What the heck is going on here?” I mean, Monday Night Football is a tradition, right? Just one big game to wrap up the weekend. So, naturally, I had to figure out what was up.
First thing I did was grab my phone and start searching. I typed in something like, “why two NFL games on Monday” into the search bar. A bunch of articles popped up, and I started clicking through them.
Here’s what I found out:
- It’s all about the Benjamins, baby! Apparently, ESPN, the network that airs Monday Night Football, they coughed up a lot of dough to keep the rights to the games. And to get the most bang for their buck, they decided to throw in an extra game here and there.
- It’s not totally new. Turns out, the NFL has done this double-header thing on Monday nights before, like last season. I guess I just didn’t notice or maybe I forgot. My bad.
- It’s about giving us more football. Some folks are saying it is a good thing because who doesn’t love more football, right? More games mean more action, more excitement, and more chances to see our favorite teams play. I mean it’s kind of cool to have options. I can flip back and forth between two games.
So, there you have it. The mystery of the two Monday Night Football games is solved. It’s all about money, ratings, and giving fans more of what they want. I guess I can’t be too mad about it. After all, more football is never a bad thing, right? But still, it felt weird messing with the Monday Night Football tradition. Maybe I’m just getting old. Anyway, that’s the scoop from my little investigation. Hope you found it interesting!
