We'll see. As for MNF, I sense perhaps a little bit of budget pressure coming from cable operators and from the money they paid for the NFL rights themselves. It's not anything huge on the level of channels 4 or 7, but a little corner-trimming is inevitable. If ESPN can still put together a solid product with a two-man crew and one part-time sideline reporter as they can with three men in a box and two full-timers, then by all means they should.
