ABC Criticized over 'Desperate' Lead-In: The NFL issued a public criticism of ABC today for its lead-in to last night's Monday Night Football telecast. The intro featured a star of Desperate Housewives, the network's new prime-time soap opera. The woman, who was wearing only a towel, attempted to seduce Eagles' star Terrell Owens. When unsuccessful, she dropped the towel and T.O. agreed to stay put. Of course, nothing was shown but the implication was clear.



To be honest, I don't know what the NFL was so concerned with. The lead-in took place at 9:01 pm EST. There wasn't anyone under the age of 10 up to see it (or any other part of the game) anyway.
