Are you ready for some saucy cross promotion (and football, if there’s time)?

Watching the beginning of the Monday Night Football coverage took me a little by surprise, I must confess (here’s the video if you haven’t seen it). This particular video cuts out before the final scene where Terrell Owens pulls out a Sharpie marker from his sock after scoring and signs Nicolette Sheridan.

It wasn’t for any reason such as indecency necessarily, but my chagrin had much more to do with how absolutely ridiculous the NFL coverage on all networks is getting. The cross promotion is almost unbearable.

“3rd and 5… Manning drops back… and you’ll drop back, in time, when you watch “Back to the Future”, tonight at 8!”

Football fans want to watch football, not T.O.’s cup suffering a stress fracture in the locker room with a “Desperate Housewife”. Football lovers may have to start their own show, “Desperate Football Fans”.

Just show the game, guys.

    Agreed.

    Seems to me this clip is less indecent than most prime time shows. But just like Janet’s Nipplegate (again, relatively tame), it’s the placement that’s the problem — what is this garbage doing in my football game?

    (To be honest, I don’t watch TV in general, nor football in particular. But I never let lack of first-hand knowledge deter me from my constitutional right to whine.)

    No. The issue here is the tease. Women all over America are sick and tired of the men getting all the voyeuristic shots and us getting none from men! Come on guys, if you are going to exploit women, then pony up some skin of your own or do away with it all together. Make it an equal opportunity indecency!
