Petition to stop bringing in guest commentators

Why in the world does Monday Night FOOTBAL think that it is necessary to bring in some kind of celebrity to talk about their personal lives, acting careers, and so on? DO WE CARE? Its distracting as hell and was never done when it was still being broadcasted by ABC. I want to watch the game not hear about Russell Crowe talking about rugby. At this rate they're probably going to pick some random celebrity who recently gained their 15 minutes of fame. For instance, they might as well have Ms. South Carolina give us her speech she gave during the Miss Teen USA Contest.

They're just promoting a movie. I think it's stupid to treat the broadcast booth as if it were a talk show, but they're not bringing people in because they expect you to care about that person's life. It's just promotion.

If they're so content about having a guest in the booth they should at least have someone that in some way pertains to the NFL. I.E. former players and coaches. Not some random star like James Denton from Desperate Housewives or Rapper Jayz. I am forced to turn the volume down whenever this segment happens.
