    This is news to me. We didn't get cable tv(I'm up here in Canada) at our place until 1974,when I was but 12. Monday Night Football was something I really hadn't seen before(much bigger CFL fan). When I got used to Cosell he came to sound like a rarely changing drone who sometimes would say zany and puzzling things----at least to me and my two younger brothers. I'm not sure we would have realized he was broadcasting this game intoxicated. Meredith was a class act in covering for his falling apart colleague. I do remember the Namath ''interview.'' Hilarious. His true self emerged.

    Because telecasts of all NFL games were blacked out in the cities where they were played, it's my understanding that all "NFL Monday Night Football" games involving either the New York Football Giants or the New York Jets were on the road until after the NFL amended the rule to allow sold-out home games to be locally televised in the cities they were played in.
    Otherwise, viewers in the huge New York TV market (then home to about seven percent of the nation's population) wouldn't get to watch their team play.

      That’s something! The NFL has definitely come a long way. If ANY game were blacked out these days with the gambling and fantasy football people would go insane lol

    • @altfactor

      The NFL blackout rule was suspended for the 2020 season since due to the Covid-19 epidemic, stadiums had small crowds (or in some cases, no fans at all).
      The rule was done away with soon thereafter.
      Even when sold-out home games could be televised, there were times when a few hone games that didn't sell out would be locally televised, examples being games played in stormy weather conditions, and the "replacement games" during the 1982 players' strike.
      In the case of the former, the local team made the decision; in the case of the 1982 "replacement games", it was the league's decision, applying to all teams.

      I believe they were only blacked out if the stadium didn't sell out. If the games were sold out the games were televised..... I think.?.? I'm lucky I can remember what I had for lunch but I think I remember it that way. Even then they made some exceptions but look at where we are today. I'm not complaining, I miss the old guard but I like the ability to watch just about every game, every week nowadays.

      @@notsosilentmajority1 Well, I know that this game was shown in NY because I remember watching it and thinking "Is Cosell hammered"? I'm not sure when they offered a statement on the reasons for his sudden departure, but I seem to remember one excuse was that a bug flew into his ear and he got vertigo and got sick. 🤮

      Yes, I believe all MNF games were shown without blackouts. I think it was only Sunday games that were blacked out locally if the stadiums didn't sell out. That's not a big problem now, even the bad teams sell out regularly.
      I don't remember the "bug flew into his ear and vertigo" thing but I'm sure you're right, lol. MNF was definitely a lot of fun to watch back then. It was great when Cosell got mad or got other people mad. He loved using his big vocabulary and sneaky, snide remarks, lol. He was an American icon though.
