1. I enjoyed last night’s Monday Night Football two-for-one special with Titans-Bills beginning at 7:15 p.m. ET and Vikings-Eagles starting at 8:30 p.m. ET. I have a two-TV set up, so it was easy to follow both games at once and I didn’t have to stay up until 1 a.m., which is what would’ve happened if ESPN gave us the traditional 7 p.m./10 p.m. doubleheader.
For the 20 years that I was a DirecTV customer before canceling the horrific service a few years ago, I always spent my Sundays watching the Game Mix channel. I had no problem keeping up with eight games at once, so following two games was a breeze.
Based on the social media reaction, people didn’t seem to have any issues with the start times last night. However, a lot of people vented about one specific problem: ESPN’s use of a split screen to show what was happening in both games.
