Monday night madness

Honestly ESPN is talking too much about Monday night football's opening act with Nicollette Sheridan baring her back (waist up, thank you). It's like ten minutes of free press every hour -- Disney owns ABC and ESPN. It's the lead story on ESPNnews, and they keep it going. What does the FCC say?... Terrell Owens makes a public statement... ABC makes a statement.... The NFL makes a statement... Horse shit, all of it! You know what? ABC should forfeit all of their ad revenue next Monday night and give it to junior high school sex-ed classes, cause they're the ones who are going to need an explaination of this non-event.

Just read Dallas Maverick's owner Marc Cuban has a name for such publicity stunts: Apologevent. More from Cuban's blog [url=http://www.blogmaverick.com/]here.[/url]

It is kinda horseshit when you think of everybody calling it some tawdry sex-related stunt to promote some inane "Got MILF?" sitcom. Tony Dungy, coach of ole' Peyton's team, sees the issue as race related. I could feasably see an argument made, and feathers ruffled for reinforcing racial stereotypes.
