Roone Arledge Just Threw A Brick Through His TV

Eight minutes into the 2nd half of tonight's Monday Night Football game between the Bears and Vikings, it has been declared official...this is the worst matchup of QBs in MNF history. In fact, Tarvaris Jackson and Kyle Orton are the worst QBs to square off since Orton's Bears faced the Cody Pickett led 49ers two seasons ago.

The esteemed creator of MNF, the late Roone Arledge, rose from his grave, walked to the nearest sports bar, and promptly yanked the cords from every TV set in the joint. He has vowed to haunt ESPN's director of programming and the NFL's schedule maker for the rest of their lives. Similarly, Pete Rozelle will haunt NFL commissioner Roger Goodell until there is some measure in place to cancel any MNF games that feature QBs that would be 4th and 5th on the depth chart at Sac State.

The ghost of Arledge was quoted as saying, "I don't care if I get sent to Hell for doing this. The programming at sports bars in Hell couldn't get any worse than this!" As a matter of fact, right now ESPN's highest ratings are coming from the depths of the earth. Hell's Sports Bar will show this game on a continuous loop on 25 of their 29 TVs until the time when Cody Pickett gets another start in the NFL.
