The scariest thing about this video promoting Sunday's Giants-Dolphins tilt is not the Godzilla-sized robot of Jason Taylor threatening to stomp all over London's citizenry.
No, the scariest thing is that the celebrity guest representing American sports fans is . . . Christian Slater!
Didn't these guys get the memo that Slater was the disastrous booth guest that almost brought down "Monday Night Football'' last season? After that, MNF producers swore they only would go with A-list guests, preferably ones who actually had an interest in, um . . . football!
Wow. Next thing you know the Brits will be doing something even wackier like calling soccer "football'' or something.

It is unconscionable to mention Imus situation as "fluid" and then not follow up.
Sarah if I was the program director at WABC, I'd be doing everything in my power to keep my higher rated "Curtis and Kuby Show" on the air instead of being forced into putting a show on that might not have any sponsors, guests and guarantees 33% lower ratings than what I have on now. That is probably the hold-up here, the guy doesn't want the show on his station. And he won't be railroaded into putting it on.
Would Jimmy Kimmel qualify as "the disastrous booth guest that almost brought down Monday Night Football'' this season?
When are the ESPNs of the world going to realize that the game is the story - not the "B" List celebrity yucking it up in the booth. If the game is a dog, then discuss something football-related (e.g. the Pats/Colts chances of going undefeated, the reason why the MNF games are such dogs, or who will be the next celebrity to hit on Suzy Kolber :-O)
