More NFL and TV controversy

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1924261

The network's steamy intro to the Philadelphia-Dallas game, featuring a naked Nicollette Sheridan jumping into the arms of Eagles receiver Terrell Owens, drew complaints from viewers and the NFL.

Wow, if this isn't the religious right jumping up again and complaining about a petty little thing again, I don't know what it is.

Truth be told, it wasn't really that big of a deal. I wasn't that funny. Actually a little awkward between TO and Nicollete. It wasn't too risky, unless the real reason people are upset is because it was a black man and a white woman? Is this really just a simple case of racism being brought to the forefront? Who knows. Maybe the NFL should stop issuing apologies and start asking for previews of the material that will be shown alongside their football game (which sometimes has scantily clad cheerleaders involved).

Anyways, see if you can't catch it on the news or sportscenter and you can decide if it was a big deal or not.
