Monday Night Football on ABC is becoming harder and harder to tolerate.
last Monday the director did a terrible job selecting camera angles.  For
example: 
	-For the on-side kick at the beginning of the second half, we
	 see a close-up view of the football.  The play itself was 
	 missed completely.
	-There's still action on the field after a play, but we only see
	 a cheerleader for 30 seconds.
	-The Giants recover a fumble.  Instead of showing a replay, we see
	 the player who recovered the ball run over to the bench, take off
	 his helmet, spit, drink some water, etc.
	-For a punt, the camera focuses on the receiver.  After the snap,
	 a view of the play is shown.  Then the camera follows the ball
	 right into the lights, so that it's impossible to see what kind
	 of coverage there will be for the return.
ABC should clean up its act.
