I have a question .........
Is parcels not doing so well because we did not allow him to use his JAP plays?
They will struggle immensely in Buffalo.
Be Careful
Although I've had a lot of success double dipping with Favre and Walker this year.

What has come of this nation where such openly sexual commercials are on prime time while little Timmy and Betty are watching and Timmy has a big smile on his face and Betty has a confused look on her face.
But I am glad to see that for more the most part nobody is not complaining that it was a white woman jumping into the arms of a black man so we have made some progress but this filth doesn't belong on prime-time.
Why won't Stacie do a show with a Black man?
What commercial? What is the issue? I'm so out of the loop...
Kennedy?
She's still alive?
Where's Stacie, damnit?
And why the is she talking about Kerry?
Why do they have a long, blond-haired man debating Kennedy?
Kennedy has been doing some gay-ass (not that theres anything wrong with that) game show on GSN.
what a career she has had
she also shows up occassionally on the Best Week Ever.
I love how this jumped to liberal/conservative in about 75 seconds.
Yes, I know Kennedy started it.
So what you're telling me is Stacie the Sports Chick got bumped by some has-been with a show I've never heard of?
To the parents on this board... Do that many families really sit down to watch Monday Night Football?
Also, MNF shows at 8PM CST - same time as "Desperate Housewives" during the normal "Family Evening Time".
guess so...
it's on vh-1, btw
Did Ann Coulter just say "All In The Family" was a wholesome show?
I just saw Blair Underwood get it on with Heather Locklear on LAX, even I was appalled at the sex scene, and for me thats alot!
If I was a parent I would keep it on ESPN, then I know its safe!!!!
Well, I've had to kick my kids out at times when I'm watching DH. However, our shows do air an hour earlier (which I still don't know the reason why they do in CTZ).
But..when Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction happened, I was the one who yelled, "Hey! Her boob just fell out!".
There's Stacie.
After Janet's well worn weather beaten fun bag popped out? I couldn't drink chocolate milk for 6 months.
Wow. One question.
Well, she got the point out.
"It was just a naked BACK!"
Dear Lord... the commerical was now RACIST.
Stop the Earth, I want off....

Intro still generating buzz, mostly negative
ESPN.com news services
If ABC hoped to generate a little bit more buzz for Monday Night Football and "Desperate Housewives," its risqué intro to the Dallas-Philadelphia game sure did the trick.
Two days after the network aired the segment featuring Eagles star receiver Terrell Owens and actress Nicollette Sheridan, coaches and players were still talking about it.
Reaction ranged from amusement to anger. Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy found it racially offensive.
"To me that's the first thing I thought of as an African-American," Dungy said Wednesday.
"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," he added, a reference to the coaches in the game.
Bears coach Lovie Smith said he thought the skit was "in bad taste."
"I thought it was in bad taste also," Smith said. "You could say that it was pretty close to pornographic, so any time that happens on prime time, something is wrong."
ABC's intro showed Sheridan wearing only a towel and provocatively asking Owens to skip the game for her as the two stood alone in a locker room. She drops the towel and jumps into Owens' arms. Owens is black and Sheridan is white.
"If that's what we have to do to get ratings, I'd rather not get them," Dungy said. "I realize that ratings pays us in this league, but if that's what we have to do, I'm willing to take a pay cut."
Eagles owner Jeff Lurie said after the game he had no problem with it.
"I loved it," Lurie told the Bucks County Courier Times outside Philadelphia's locker room at Texas Stadium. "I thought it was great."
But by Tuesday, the Eagles released a statement that read: "After seeing the final piece, we wish it hadn't aired."
There were viewers -- one of them Steelers chairman Dan Rooney -- outraged with the skit. He called it "an out-and-out disgrace."
"We took a lot of heat from the public because of what CBS and MTV did during the Janet Jackson halftime Super Bowl fiasco," Rooney told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Now, this was Disney and ABC's Monday Night Football! This is NFL football -- we don't do those things. We did not know it was coming. We had no idea."
Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb wasn't quite as vocal, saying he didn't find the segment offensive and believed people were overreacting. (Owens wasn't at practice Wednesday, excused for what the team said were personal reasons.)
"Some people do different things," McNabb said. "Not saying that my wife would allow me to do that, but it's just something that was done, and you move on."
Michael Powell, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, had a different view, questioning ABC's judgment in airing the scene.
"I wonder if Walt Disney would be proud," he said.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. The FCC will review complaints and decide whether or not to open an investigation that could result in a fine against the network.
"It would seem to me that while we get a lot of broadcasting companies complaining about indecency enforcement, they seem to be continuing to be willing to keep the issue at the forefront, keep it hot and steamy in order to get financial gains and the free advertising it provides," Powell told CNBC.
The segment drew complaints from viewers and the NFL. ABC Sports apologized for using the introduction to promote its show, "Desperate Housewives." Dungy's comment, however, was the first that mentioned race. He also said the segment played off stereotypes of athletes.
"That athletes are sexual predators and that that stuff is more important than what's going on on the field. That a guy was more concerned with that than the game, that's a terrible message to send," Dungy said. "I'm particularly sensitive to that. It could have been any player and I would have been outraged, but being an African-American, it particularly hurt me."
A decade ago Dungy was outspoken about the lack of black coaches in the NFL. There are currently five, including Dungy and Smith, whose Bears will face Dungy's Colts on Sunday.
But Smith didn't find the skit racially offensive.
"I really can't go that far," he said. "I saw a naked lady with an athlete, period. Black, white, that doesn't really matter an awful lot to me."
Dungy said ABC had asked the Colts, who played on Monday night last week, "to do some things I thought would make our players look a little bit silly [although] nothing like that."
"We kind of declined," he said.
Some players were also shocked.
"My mouth dropped when I saw that," said Washington tight end Mike Sellers, who was watching the game with his wife. "I said, 'Did they actually plan this on TV?' "
Owens caught three touchdowns in the Eagles' 49-21 win over Dallas. Afterward, he said, "I don't know how my acting skills were, but I can't play football forever."
Asked if he has ever watched "Desperate Housewives," Owens said, "I will now."
-----------
I just lost a LOT of respect for Tony Dungy.
tony dungy thinking its racist, just goes to show how much of a racist he is.
We just got back.
She couldn't get a freaking word in!
Coulter and Kennedy kept going off on each other.
I know. She couldn't even get a CG.
But she looked hot.
