The piece that opened Monday Night Football this week has been debated and analyzed about as much as the Zapruder film. There are plenty of losers in this fiasco but we can all agree on the winner: Desperate Housewives.

Friday Night Lights, HG &quot;Buzz&quot; Bissinger&#39;s nonfiction best seller about a Texas town&#39;s obsession with high school football, could have been made into several different movies.

it&#39;s been more or less around the clock since the steamy lead-in to Monday Nihilist Football last week. Why we haven&#39;t seen this sort of firestorm in ... oh, about 10 months.
