I never get home in time for the beginning of any MNF game. What are they showing?

It involved Nicolette Sheridan of Desperate Housewives and Terrel Owens in a locker room with Nicolette Sheridan tring to "convince" T.O. let the Eagles win the "game without" him. It also involved a towel dropping. NFL has blasted the intro.

I missed that but I will say the absolutely STUPIDEST thing I've ever seen involving sports is the BS that MNF is doing at halftime.

I don't even know what the hell they call it; I think I've done my best to erase it from my mind. Essentially, it's their version of "Punk'd". It is the stupidest, most excruciatingly painful few minutes on television. I made the mistake of watching it twice; the first was horrendous, and I watched it again one week because Michaels & Madden assured me before the half that it was "hilarious". Obviously, they had to be paid a bonus to say that...

I could not agree more. Just show highlights, from the last week end and the monday night game. High light a player etc. etc.. Embarassing player is just plain stupid and makes me change the channels and ultimately miss the 1st half.
