Todd reminds everyone that it has been 25 years since ABC Sports hired a comedian to work Monday Night Football. For those who still claim it was a bad idea, Todd says it sure made a lot more sense to hire a comedian to tell jokes on an NFL telecast than the current cavalcade of former players and coaches attempting to do the same on these unwatchable pregame, halftime and post game shows.
