ARE YOU READY FOR SOME CONTROVERSY?
After receiving a flurry of complaints from viewers, fans and the NFL, ABC Sports apologized Tuesday for airing a sexually suggestive Desperate Housewives promo at the beginning of Monday Night Football. The spot — which is currently being reviewed by the FCC — featured a "naked" Nicollette Sheridan seducing Philadelphia Eagles player Terrell Owens in the team locker-room. In a statement, NFL V.P. Greg Aiello called the opening "inappropriate and unsuitable for our MNF audience." A rep for the Eagles, meanwhile, said "after seeing the final piece, we wish it hadn't aired." Even more infuriating, they were promised Teri Hatcher.
