Since we usually have a thread to talk about the 'Monday Night Football' games,

I was wondering what are your favorite memories of MNF.

Mine was on September 24, 1990.

The Bills (I was still living in Buffalo) beat the Jets 30-7, with Thurman Thomas rushing for 214 yards on just 18 carries.

(Strangely, he didn't score a touchdown that game.)

I got many, but the one that was so memorable was when the Redskins came from behind to beat the Cowboys in 2005. We were so bad for most of the game, not moving the ball, not getting past mid field. And in the last 3 or 4 minutes of the game, Mark Brunnell tossed up two hail marys to Santana Moss to win the game 14-13. It was unbelievable! Dallas was up 13-0 for the most part.

This one happened right on my second birthday: Tony Dorsett of Dallas ran for 99 yards (the longest run you can make) against Minnesota at the Metrodome in the final game of the 1982 strike year. Despite that, however, Minnesota prevailed 31-27 over Dallas.

Usually, I watch Monday Night Raw instead of Football but I think one I really liked was when Joe Montana returned to the 49ers after being injured a year prior. It was against the Detroit Lions at Candlestick Park around Christmas 1992.
