I remember as a child just dying for the MNF halftime show. It was really one of the only places where you got to see NFL highlights. Of course times have changed and I very rarely watched MNF anymore. Still, there are some great memories; Bo vs. Seattle, Dolphins beating Bears in '85, Earl Campbell busting loose in '78, Favre, Howard, Dandy Don, and so much more.
A special toast to Chet Forte, the amazing director who ended up with a gambling problem and was never given a proper send off. He did get his life together and was a talk show host in San Diego until his death in 1996 (I think). He helped make Monday night different than any other game.
