ABC abandons plans to pair naked stars with football players in MNF openings
Satire
ABC chose not to air the original introduction planned for last night's telecast of Monday Night Football featuring a contest between the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs. The original introduction called for a naked Jim Belushi to jump into the arms of a uniformed Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady. "We had planned to go with a theme of naked ABC stars jumping into the arms of clothed football players in order to cross pollinate our programming, but that obviously didn't fly after the whole Nicollette Sheridan/Terrell Owens thing." said ABC sports program director, John Harris. Next week it would have been a naked Damon Wayans jumping into the arms of Packers quarterback Brett Favre who, in a cross promotion with his own Mastercard commercial, would have suggested a different way of jumping ("I would have jumped more to the left.").
