MNF debuts next season on ESPN, correct. ESPN & ABC are owned by the same company... Disney.

SNF is making the shift to NBC & Madden/Costas (rumor) will have broadcast duties. ESPN & NBC will not be allowed to hand pick which games they show. The only people that can do that are the NFL schedule makers. (Do you think that MNF would choose to show Green Bay v Baltimore when San Diego and Indy played that same week?) It'll never happen.
