🏈 What is Monday Night Football?

Monday Night Football has long been a crown jewel of the NFL schedule, delivering a prime-time stage that caps off each week of action. The tradition began in September 1970 when ABC introduced the concept of a nationally televised game on Monday night, instantly changing the way fans experienced professional football. It was designed to bring the game to a broader audience and quickly became a cultural phenomenon.

Over the decades, Monday Night Football has showcased unforgettable performances and legendary matchups, turning weeknights into can’t-miss events. In 2006, ESPN took over as the exclusive broadcaster, carrying the tradition into a new era and ensuring millions of fans could tune in. Today, Monday Night Football remains a centerpiece of the NFL’s programming, blending star power, high stakes, and the unique electricity of football under the lights.

Stints at Amherst News and the Cape Breton Post helped sharpen his skills in a newsroom setting, while working for MSVU and Dalhousie’s athletic departments landed Kyle in his comfort zone.

Kyle has been an avid bettor for over five years, starting with just one Sports Interaction account before discovering both the beauty and importance of price shopping. bet365 and Pinnacle are his go to books, but accounts at 10+ sportsbooks give him an array of options. “Rusty” will bet on anything under the sun as long as there’s value and good reasoning behind it, but NHL and NFL are his two favorite leagues to watch and wager on — especially with friends.

Kyle’s biggest tip for any bettor is simple: gamble responsibly. Only bet what you’re willing to lose and make sure to install a proper bankroll method to keep track of your ROI. If you’re still dwelling on the amount you lost the next day, it’s time to decrease your spending.
