 News for "NFL Monday Night Football" (1970)
NBC placed third for the week, averaging a 6.7/11, but ABC was hot on its tail with a 6.5/11, and placed two regular shows, Lost and Desperate Housewives in the top ten -- the first time it had done so since Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was flying high.
Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry said Sunday that the Monday Night Football promo for the show in which star Nicollette Sheridan confronted Philadelphia Eagles star Terrell Owens in a locker room and doffed the towel she was wearing was originally supposed to feature not Owens but MNF commentator John Madden.
Monday Night Football returns to ABC for its 31st season tonight (Monday), with many eyes focused not on the players but on Dennis Miller, whose appointment to comment on the game from the ABC booth has touched off a storm of controversy inside and outside the industry.

 John Madden Almost Had Some Very Different X's and O's (washingtonpost.com)
The controversial opening of a "Monday Night Football" telecast earlier this season, in which "Desperate Housewives" hussy Nicollette Sheridan, dressed only in a towel, seduced Philadelphia Eagles star Terrell Owens, was originally supposed to be Sheridan and John Madden, ABC Entertainment chief Steve McPherson told TV critics at Winter TV Press Tour 2005.
In the original script that "Desperate Housewives" creator Marc Cherry wrote for the football opening, the towel was not dropped at the end, and Sheridan did not jump into the arms of Owens, Cherry told critics.
We'll pause here for a minute while you try to wipe from your mind the image of aged ABC Sports announcer Madden standing in a locker room as Sheridan asks him to skip the game for her, drops her towel and jumps into his arms.

 Nicollette Sheridan Images
Before the game, ABC showed the actress and the Philadelphia Eagles star in an empty locker room in an attempt to spoof the network hit "Desperate Housewives." Sheridan, who stars in the show, was wearing only a towel and provocatively asked Owens to skip the game for her.
Meanwhile, Nicollette Sheridan, who has won kudos for easily slipping into the role of the neighborhood sexpot, said her part is not the role she tried out for on the series.
Sheridan, who first gained stardom 20 years ago on the nighttime soap Knot's Landing, also claims, "I'm the poorest actress on television." But she has some hope for the future, saying: "I have the feeling that ABC will be extremely generous at the end of the season.

 FCC rejects complaints against ABC's football intro - Mar. 14, 2005
"The scene concludes with two other characters from 'Desperate Housewives' watching the locker room encounter on their television, who remark how 'desperate' Sheridan appears and then change the channel to the game, repeating the traditional Monday Night Football introduction, 'Are you ready for some football?!' The game broadcast then commences."
Though federal courts have upheld Congress' authority to regulate the airing of indecent speech, "the First Amendment is a critical constitutional limitation that demands that, in indecency determinations, we proceed cautiously and with appropriate restraint," the agency said.
"At a time when recent surveys show that a substantial majority of parents are very concerned that children are being exposed to too much inappropriate content, I would hope that television broadcasters would go the extra mile in exercising self-discipline when airing or promoting programming that may not be appropriate for younger viewers," he said.

The XGP, eXtreme Game Player was confirmed by GamePark earlier this year as the follow-up to their cult-fav GP32.

At the same time, the National Football League cut a reported $3.6 billion pact with NBC to move its Sunday night football package there beginning in 2006.
The shift of MNF to ESPN was spun as an all-in-the-family move by new Disney president Robert Iger--and rightly so.

 Costume Theme Party Ideas
If you and your friends are fans of a particular TV show, movie or game, you can throw a party around that one idea - have a Final Fantasy party, a Lord of the Rings party, or a Desperate Housewives party (ooh, grownups only for that one!).
When throwing a movie-themed party, decorate and plan for a particular era - for example, have a silent film party, a glamour party for the 30s and 40s (you could make the setting Rick's Cafe in Casablanca), or a "Rat Pack" party with a 50s theme and games (casino games work great with this one).
Other summer and outdoor party themes might be a Hawaiian party, a "Mystery of the Seas" party (mermaids and mermen, sea creatures) with swimming and seafood, or a Fourth of July party with guests dressed an famous Americans or icons (Uncle Sam Wants You!).
