I would like to see MNF go back to an over-the-air network.

MNF has a long tradition before moving to ESPN. There are lots of fans who don't have a pay tv package that have been missing out on MNF.

That's an assumption that the NFL (or any sports league for that matter) do things that are beneficial to fans as opposed to beneficial to the bottom line of owners.

I can name a hundred things leagues have done to dilute and harm their respective games in order to increase profits.
