Miller Returning to MNF --
AP reports comedian Dennis Miller is back for a second season as analyst on ABC's "Monday Night Football," a year after stumping viewers with his obscure pop culture references. Miller sprinkled references to literary works and old TV shows into his comments on game action, annoying some viewers and sending others scurrying to look up what he meant. Miller said the initial fan reaction was mixed before improving as the season went on. "They were very nice to me and they were kind of honest, too," he said. "At the beginning, they'd go, `I don't quite know what to make of you yet, but you seem to be making progress.' When they say something like that, the compliment later in the year means something to you. Toward the end of the year, it seemed people were relatively happy."
