Desperate NFL

Sure, the TO-Nicolette Sheridan opening bit on MNF was crude, risque, and inappropriate, but...c'mon. It was only a bit promo before a regular season game. and it was after 9pm. I can't believe the firestorm of controversy this has caused. To equate it with Janet Jackson's boob flopping out during the most watched TV event of the year is absurd.

I can't help but think there is more than a sense of racial undertones to the umbrage. A studly black male (and not just any player, but the most flamboyant player in the league right now) and a comely white sex kitten. That kind of matchup doesn't play well down south or even in middle America.
