Mike Tirico said that very few things last for 46 years, but Monday Night Football has.
The program began uniting the country on Monday nights on Sept. 21, 1970, in the era of Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford and Don Meredith.
Since then, the media landscape shifted graphically.
Instead of three main networks, there are hundreds of channels and no longer is Monday Night Football the sole prime time football program. With nearly a half-century of iconic voices, plays and match-ups, producer Jay Rothman said the stage that Monday Night Football sets still continues to be a uniting influence.
