[color="green"][b]It just got out that the now infamous T.O. skit where the towel is dropped was gonna feture John Madden and she would have lept into his jiggly ass [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif[/img] [img]http://forum.go-bengals.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/24.gif[/img]

ABC's first choice for the infamous "Monday Night Football" dropped towel episode wasn't Terrell Owens -- it was announcer John Madden.

For reasons that are unclear, Madden couldn't find the time to perform for the skit. Owens filled in for him in the steamy sketch that drew viewer protests and a network apology, said ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson on Sunday.

In the spoof that preceded the football game Nov. 15, "Desperate Housewives" actress Nicollette Sheridan persuaded Owens to skip the game by dropping the towel wrapped around her and jumping into his arms.

ABC initially thought it would be funny to have the, uh, less attractive Madden as the subject of Sheridan's ardor, McPherson said.

The towel-dropping was another last-minute addition to the script that plainly backfired, said Marc Cherry, executive producer of "Desperate Housewives," who helped write it.

Cherry said it was all a mistake. But he and McPherson both said they were surprised at the reaction.

"I feel really bad about it," Cherry said. "I didn't want to upset people. I didn't realize that 'Monday Night Football' was such a family viewing experience. I wouldn't let my 5-year-old watch beer commercials with big-busted cheerleaders, but that's just me."

Sheridan, appearing before television writers Sunday, said the purpose was simply to amuse people.

"Taking a pop culture incident like that and having it take precedence over the underlying problems of the world was absurd," Sheridan said.

I read that with some trepidation when I saw the headline title...I am glad that no undue Madden-flesh was ever exposed.
The way he salivates over his "Turduckeons" and multi-legged turkeys on thanksgiving, those man-boobs would have been more than I could have possibly endured... :lol:

That whole skit was fine. It didnt show anything and use any words. It was blown way out of proportion. The media overhypes so much shit just like the moss mooning incident. That was unclassy by moss but they made a huge fucking deal about it.

Thank Janet Jackson's boob for being the final straw...
