Default MNF "controversy"

what do you guys make of this whole "controversy" over the T.O. monday night football introduction. i don't see why everyone makes stuff like this such a big deal personally.

I don't think it was all that big of a deal, HOWEVER I certainly understand why the people that are upset feel the way they do. I am all for more naked women on TV, but in the right place at the right time. I have small children whom I would rather were not exposed to stuff like this until the right time and you would like to think MNF is a safe haven from such things.

What was actually shown during the intro that is provoking this reaction?

I think it was ridiculous. I mean c'mon my kid brother watches MNF all the time it's kind of weird to just bam flash from TO in soft porn to kickoff, no?

yeah i realize that it wasnt the perfect time and place for it...but it was a joke, and it wasn't even racey really. i think it's a little ridiculous, and definatly not worth all the hub-bub about it.

I think to a little kid it might be considered racy. It wasn't just the fact that Nicolette Sheridan was "suggestive" to TO, but she was half naked.

From a societal perspective, I think it was distasteful.

From my perspective, I thought it was great. (Although if yer gonna do it, at least get Eva Longoria.)

Default Dungy's response

According to Tony Dungy
"I think it's stereotypical in looking at the players, and on the heels of the Kobe Bryant incident I think it's very insensitive. I don't think that they would have had Bill Parcells or Andy Reid or one of the owners involved in that,"
no offense to Dungy but this is a little bit of a stretch
