I don't normally listen to the radio during Monday Night Football unless I 
happen to be in my car.  However, I do know (much to your surprise, Bob) that 
CBS no longer has the contract for radio football.  NBC has the contract now, 
and I'm not sure who the announcers are, but Stram is not one of them.

Don Criqui (sp?) and Bob Trumpy are doing the Mon. Nite football games.
In my opinion, they are better than that nutty trio on TV, but not near
Jack Buck and Hank Stram.  Here in the Chicago area, they are on WIND (540 AM).
