ESPN Points Out Another Useless Statistic on MNF

Seriously ESPN, please stop with the irrelevant stats. Tough as it may be, the millions that watch MNF aren't stat geeks. Last night, as I painfully watched the NFL preseason, the Dolphins had an 11-10 lead over the Chiefs, in which they went for a 2 point conversion (you didn't think there would be OT preseason football did ya?) , Mike Tirico pointed out that never ever ever had an NFL game finished 11-10. That caused for reason to talk about it for the final 5 minutes of the broadcast. Had Clark Gable from Gone With the Wind heard that stat, I think he'd say, "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.". He's right, who cares? That is why MNF is so impossible to watch, you have 3 people yakking in the booth, 2 sideline reporters that add a whopping 0% to the game, and celebrity interviews.
That being said, it improved a whole lot by getting rid of Joe Theismann.
