 In the 1995 "MNF" regular season opener between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants at the New Jersey Meadowlands, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones controversially brought Nike chairman Phil Knight down to the sidelines, representing Jones' individual deal with Nike, contrary to the NFL's policy at the time of negotiating its marketing deals as a league (it wasn't until 2002 that the league's first league-wide uniform contract with Reebok was made; Nike would replace Reebok in that capacity in 2012).In 1997, ABC began using a scoring bug showing the game clock and score throughout the entire broadcast.In 1998, Lesley Visser became the first female commentator on "Monday Night Football".
