Hate MNF Games!!

It is freezing outside and the ideal time to watch football on television. Unfortunately, the Jets don't play until tomorrow night when I will be distracted by work and the need to get up early for work.

Bottom Line: the NFL is meant for Sunday afternoons.

I love the epic atmosphere and having the entire country watching your team play. It's also a shorter wait till next sundays game.

I hate it because I have tickets for tomorrow night, making me even more pumped than normal. Work is going to SUCK tomorrow.

Me too.

The game starts at 1:30am my time. If I want to watch the whole thing I'll be up until about 5am, and need to be up for Uni at 8am.

Look at it this way, if the Jets play a hell of a game and win then it's a good reason to call in sick on Tuesday :)

And if they lose it's another great good reason to call in sick & not be lying.

Welcome to JI, Danny. We are Jet fans and reserve the right to complain about pretty much everything.

That being said, I dislike MNF as well.

I Like MNF games because it shows that the Jets ARE IMPORTANT Enough to put on Primetime.

Heck, how many times have the Jets been on Monday Night TWICE the past 5 seasons?

This is the first time I remember it happening....


It's something we're not used to because of our success....
