when the summer olympics came to los angeles in 1932, two of the venues that hosted were the los angeles memorial coliseum and the rose bowl in pasadena. the former hosted the athletics, equestrian eventing and jumping, field hockey, and gymnastics event while the latter was constructed into a velodrome for track cycling events. in 1973, the coliseum played host to super bowl vii where the miami dolphins defeated the washington redskins 14-7 to go undefeated for the entire 1972 national football league (nfl) season. in 1979, the los angeles rams won their seventh straight nfl national football conference (nfc) western division title, and finally advanced to super bowl xiv where they lost to the pittsburgh steelers in the rose bowl. that season would also be the rams' last season at the coliseum where they lost their last game there against the new orleans saints 29-14. for the 1980 nfl season, the rams moved to anaheim (southeast of los angeles) to anaheim stadium (angel stadium of anaheim since 2004) though they lost their first game there against the detroit lions. the rams would remain at anaheim stadium until the end of the 1994 season when they moved to st. louis, missouri where they remained until 2015 before returning to los angeles in 2016. their last game in anaheim was against the redskins, losing 24-21. following the 1981 nfl season, the coliseum became home for the oakland raiders nfl team, where they opened up their 1982 season results with a win over the defending super bowl champions san francisco 49ers 23-17. the coliseum since 1923 has continued to play host for the university of southern california football team and still does as of 2010. the trojans' cross-town rivals, the ucla bruins, shared the coliseum with trojans from 1928 to 1981. in 1982, the bruins moved to the rose bowl where they have remained as of 2010. besides super bowl xiv, the rose bowl hosted super bowl xvii where the redskins avenged their super bowl loss to the dolphins from ten years earlier with a 27-17 victory.

on february 8, 2006, it was announced that tony kornheiser would join mike tirico and joe theismann in the broadcast booth during monday night football beginning in the 2006 nfl season. kornheiser continued to host pti, and wilbon joined him on the road as they broadcast pti each monday from the site of the mnf game, and there has also been an extra pti segment inserted during halftime of espn's monday night games (although in 2008, wilbon stayed in the dc studios, on many mondays). in the months leading up to the 2006 nfl season, kornheiser would often offer self-deprecating comments on the pti show, saying that he'd be horrible for the mnf job or that he wished that certain people that are topics on the show would ride the bus with him to the game, as he has an admitted fear of flying. on the april 6, 2006, edition of pti, the same day that the upcoming nfl season's schedule was released, kornheiser gave a humorous insight into how he felt about his upcoming travel schedule, sarcastically commenting about how there weren't any east coast games on the schedule. he also took the time to apologize to fans in jacksonville, florida, whose city kornheiser described in his "washington post" column as having only waffle houses, since there was a monday night game in jacksonville on september 18, the second week of the nfl season. kornheiser said on the show that if at all possible, he would like to avoid traveling to the city of seattle again since each time he went there, the weather was atrocious (such as the downpour and wind that was constant in week 9 against oakland and the snowstorm in week 12 against green bay).
