Owens was second choice in MNF towel skit Story Tools: Print Email David Bauder / Associated Press Posted: 24 minutes ago LOS ANGELES (AP) - 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, the Philadelphia Eagles receiver, 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 heavyset 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

ESPN.com news services The number of teams vying for free agent Carlos Delgado was cut in half Sunday night, leaving Baltimore and Florida as the remaining bidders for the first baseman's services. Delgado likely will make a decision on Monday. Carlos Delgado First Base Toronto Blue Jays Profile 2004 SEASON STATISTICS GM HR RBI R SB AVG 128 32 99 74 0 .269 The Texas Rangers abruptly withdrew from negotiations Sunday afternoon. David Sloane, Delgado's agent, said the Rangers told him that if Delgado were to sign with Texas, he probably would be a designated hitter most of the time. Sloane then told ESPN's Karl Ravech that the New York Mets were pulling out of the running for the free agent first baseman. Both the Mets and Rangers had given Delgado a Sunday night deadline for agreeing to a deal. "From the first conversation with the Texas Rangers, we made it crystal clear that Carlos Delgado had no interest in being a full-time DH," Sloane said. "If we had 25 conversations with the Texas Rangers, we were told in 24 of those that the question of him playing first base was no issue. Earlier today, we were told that is changing and that 75 percent of his at-bats, should he choose to sign with the Texas Rangers, would come as a DH. "After three months of negotiations, we were given less than five hours to tell them yes or no, to make a decision that affects not only the rest of Carlos Delgado's baseball career, but the rest of his life." All four teams had proposed four-year deals to Delgado, although it wasn't known if all four years were guaranteed by all teams. Rangers owner Tom Hicks met with Delgado in Puerto Rico and offered a $48 million, four-year contract. "Over the last few days, Tom Hicks and the organization reached out and made a very strong offer to Carlos Delgado," Rangers general manager John Hart said. "We had a great meeting with Carlos on Friday where we exceeded the limits of our initial proposal. As of this evening, however, we could not get a commitment from him, so we are withdrawing from discussions with him. Proposed deals for Delgado* Marlins 3 years, $35 million Mets 4 years, $48 million** Orioles 4 years, $48 million-plus Rangers 4 years, $48 million** *According to published reports **Pulled off table Sunday night "He is a quality individual, but we want to continue to be committed with our young players and development plan. We have a first baseman in Mark Teixeira and other young players that we do not want to disrupt with potential position changes. Tom Hicks is not, and was not, afraid to spend money to add players like Carlos to our club." Hicks implied that the Rangers didn't want Delgado to use their offer as a springboard. "We were clear that we were giving it our best shot Friday at the meeting. Others have now raised their offers, which is why we insisted on a deadline late this afternoon," he said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "We called them this morning to clarify that our interest in Carlos was restricted to him being a DH for 60-70 percent of the time, since we already have a great, young first baseman in Mark Teixeira." The New York Post had reported the Mets matched the Rangers' offer. Publicly, the Marlins have said they won't offer much beyond three years and $35 million. The New York Daily News reported the Orioles made Delgado the most lucrative offer yet -- four years for more than $12 million a year. Delgado met with the Marlins in Florida on Jan. 15. The 32-year-old Delgado would be counted on to fortify the lineup of whichever team he selects. He hit .269 last season for Toronto with 32 homers and 99 RBIs. Delgado and outfielder Magglio Ordonez, who is coming off an injury-shortened season with the Chicago White Sox, are the last elite free agents who remain unsigned. Sloane indicated Friday that the Rangers made an impressive offer, saying then: "Tom Hicks said that he was going to come to Puerto Rico and give it his best shot. He did all that and more." New York already has signed two major free agents, giving a $53 million, four-year contract to right-hander Pedro Martinez and a $119 million, seven-year deal to outfielder Carlos Beltran. Delgado would have provided protection for Mike Piazza in the Mets' batting order.

it wont be at 74 if we sign Delgado remeber the salaray is deffered so he'll probably get like 6-8 million this year so it will be at around 68 million. So we would be under the 70 million mark that Loria didnt want to surpass.

how bout miguel cabrera stadium... hes the future of our franchise and will be the best player ever to wear a marlins uniform

Good....Hopefully we can resign him to a two or three year deal next offseason.

The Rangers and Soriano agree to terms for 2005.

i should right naw but ill pass

lol im j/k no but seriously i will forever hate him

ok ok not cancer or aids maybe just a career ending injury

If Delgado signs with the mets because of Beltran i would pray every night that Beltran gets cancer or Aids or something. Btw why would the cubs want cameron they got corey patterson.

Maybe Huff because hes younger and cheaper i really like delgado he's a baller.

I agree there aint no looking back from here were going to start raising payroll and start fielding a competitive team every year. Beinfest is God!!!!!!!!!! Big ups on the loduca deal and delgado when we do sign him

Hey did you win anything at the mu alpha theta competition i saw alot of Stoneman Doulgas calculus students getting trophies

On espn rumor mill it says that the astros are willing to trade for soriano anyone know the details im not an espn insider so i cant see it.

Just heard on Espn that the marlins resigned Matt Perisho to a one year deal. Good job by the front office for signing him. :thumbup

Supposively he said that there was somehting going down after christmas as in a trade that would involve a bat and an arm. Im pretty sure christmas is over and nothing has happened so far so can you atleast give us more details about the trade thats supposed to happen.
