I just saw it on the news. Because of all the flak, the network, the NFL, and the football player himself apologized for that skit with Nicolette Sheridan and her towel during Monday night football!

Will all this bullshit ever end??!!

2. I fucking hate this country!!!!!
There was absolutely nothing wrong with that skit!!! The "value voters" just need to remove the poles from their asses. I see worse stuff in commercials. The NFL and ABC need to get some balls and tell the whiners, the fcc, the freepers, and that SOB Powell, to shut the fuck up and sit down.

3. Somebody should apologize for
the BEER commercials. I can't see how that is good, family content at all. Well ... I do see why they do it.

4. I've seen...
reality shows much worse than this skit. Although I hate loud-mouth, money-grubbing, publicity hounding athletes like Terrell Owens and Keyshawn "gimme the damn ball" Johnson, I find Monday Night Football becoming a parody of itself with any opening skits. Are these athletes auditioning for television or the movies after their athletic careers are over? Or are they really there to play the damn game? MNF does not need to cheapen itself with such novelty. Just cut off such crap and get the game started on time period, so we're not subjected to watching the game into the wee hours of the night. The skit itself was cheesey, sleazey but no boobs were shown nor pubic hair nor someone's butt crack--the "moral values patrol" need to get a life as they are the very same nutcases who use to watch sleaze soaps "Dallas" and "Dynasty" back in the 80s.

5. Do these idiots get freaked out over Victoria's Secrets commercials?
I mean, they're pretty racy as well. I don't have a problem with them at all, but whatever. I have this feeling that they're not going to be on t.v. for long.
