The only thing I kept flashing back, I said, “What was it I did so wrong in the McNabb incident and they\u2019re doing this, <\/emphasize>on Monday Night Football?” Now, of course, the league has expressed its shock and outrage at ABC has apologized but ABC has achieved their objective, everybody is talking about this today, and Terrell Owens achieved his objective. Everybody is talking about him today now as a future actor because he did so well in this thing. We\u2019ll take a break, come back and let you hear this, if you haven\u2019t heard it. You really need to see this. At various places on the net you can see the video of this, and she\u2019s buck naked, folks. I mean when they dropped the towel she\u2019s naked. You see enough of her back and rear end to know that she was naked. There\u2019s no frontal nudity in the thing, but I mean you don\u2019t need that. It\u2019s just perfectly clear what was happening here. You know, and at that nine o\u2019clock, I mean, there are some guys with that kids that sit down to watch Monday Night Football. <\/line>BREAK TRANSCRIPT <\/line>RUSH: Here\u2019s the audio of the open to Monday Night Football with Terrell Owens of the Philadelphia Eagles and the actress Nicollette Sheridan. And that, of course, just whets your whistle for what you actually didn\u2019t see when you see this go by, but it was even… You know, folks, I\u2019m 53. I\u2019m not a virgin in any way you can imagine. I\u2019ve seen a lot. Done less, but seen a lot, but when I saw this, I said (chuckles), “This is just…” I was shocked. I was stunned. This has nothing to do with football, had nothing to do with Terrell Owens — and I didn\u2019t even know it was cross-promoting one of their other shows because I\u2019d never seen it, and I thought, “This is just pure gratuitousness,” and then, I couldn\u2019t help but think: “This is too close to this Kobe Bryant situation for comfort.” I said, “What are these people thinking? <\/emphasize>What in the world are they thinking? I mean, it may be the reverse here, but, for crying out loud!” So, anyway, the NFL got all upset. ABC has apologized. A bunch of NFL owners thought it was trash. Dan Rooney of the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it still got done, and they didn\u2019t… You know, Eagles gave permission to film this on their locker room on Friday but nobody knew what was going to go on in their I guess except Terrell Owens. That\u2019s the story. So that\u2019s what that\u2019s about.<\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
