Whither thou Melissa Stark, Lisa Guerrero or even a Lesley Visser? If those that are still clinging on, one hand as it were, to the life raft of Monday Night Football could you please toss Michelle Tafoya into a cool, mountain stream?

After filing a restraining order against my feminine side, I’m daring to the watch the Aints taking on the Atlanta Dog Killers. I thought the worst would be firmly within the confines of the gridiron but I was mistaken. Thinking, however mistakenly, that there would be a football game on tonight. Instead, Monday Night Oprah has returned.

Please, for the love of Dan Dierdorf and possibly Doctor Phil, will someone shut Michelle Tafoya up? Assess a 15 yard, personal foul penalty for illegal encroachment into the personal life?

Again, her forced segues to interject some researched bit of personal tragedy into a player’s life brought utter silence from the rest of the announcers. In this instance, the painful murder of Warrick Dunn’s mother and his meeting the killer. Going so far as to interviewing his teammates on what they think about it.

For crying out loud, it’s a football game and a color commentary crew not jumping-into-the-trust quilt at Encounter Therapy. Hank Williams, Jr. didn’t sing about “Are you ready for some mangina? A Monday Night Tea Party?”

Come back Melissa. We miss the way you classed up the sideline with your folksy “interest in the game” and ability to MYOFB.
