Today is the day to feel superior because you went organic.

Once again, the National Football League is in some hot water as it apologizes for a racy Monday Night Football-"Desperate Housewives" tie-in. I personally think it's really hypocritical for them to do this, as the sexy broadcasting network star-sports tie-in is a time-honored tradition. Don't you remember?

1988: Chi-Chi Rodriguez and Bea Arthur doing the lambada in a promo for the PGA senior tour and "Golden Girls."

1990: Bryan Boitano giving Roseanne Arnold a foot rub in a promo for the World Cup of Figure Skating.

1996: Randy Johnson and Chuck Norris combing each others' hair during ad for "Walker, Texas Ranger" broadcast during Major League Baseball Game.

1998: Jerry Orbach suggestively petting Cigar the Horse to raise hype for "Law and Order" season debut.

2000: Drew Carey and Gheorghe Muresan sharing a quiet moment courtside to up the ratings for "The Drew Carey Show."
