Eight in the box: primetime drama babes

EIGHT: Primetime Viewing- There’s a reason most NFL fans subject themselves to TV primetime dramas throughout the week while they wait for Sundays, and we here at the NFP know what it is. Today, we bring you the women of the night who grace your big screens after pot roast and green beans. Let’s start with Katherine Heigl of “Grey’s Anatomy.” Enjoy.

SEVEN: The News Source- Not only is Terrell Owens a wide receiver, a TV star and just flat-out pure entertainment, but now the quarterback’s best friend is also the source for breaking news. Last night, T.O. broke the story, via his Twitter account (which is part of my daily read), that Aaron Maybin — the Bills’ first-round pick — has agreed to a contract. Buffalo’s front office has to love this guy right now.

SIX: Return Policy- It seems that San Fran holdout Michael Crabtree — the rookie America is having a love affair with — is high on the list when it comes to jersey sales. Niners fans are rushing to pick up his No. 15 jersey. I just hope the return policy on those things is solid. Wondering if you can trade in those Crabtree digs for UFL jerseys? Just saying.

FIVE: Desperate Teri- We couldn’t talk about primetime TV without including ABC’s “Desperate Housewives,” and since we already brought you Eva Longoria (and we know how tedious repeats can be), we’re going with the next best thing on the show that makes no sense anymore -- Teri Hatcher sitting on top of a washing machine. What?

FOUR: The Favre Effect- So Brett Favre flies up to Minneapolis in a private jet, gets picked up by Vikings head coach Brad Childress — like his mommy picking him up from school — and gets to play tonight in a preseason game. Nice, but Favre is only expected to play a couple of series, so there should be plenty of great seats available in the Twinkie Dome by the second quarter — to watch Sage and Tarvaris.

THREE: Rex Speaks Out (Again)- You gotta love Rex Ryan, right? The new Jets head coach traded jabs this offseason — through the media — with Dolphins LB Channing Crowder, and now the big guy is taking shots at The Hoodie, saying, “We will probably kick your (butt).” I doubt “butt” was the word he used, but the last team I’d be talking trash about is the Patriots. The Lions, maybe...

TWO: Raider Nation- What’s going on out in Oakland, folks? Trying to figure this thing out is like playing a game of “Clue” after drinking a 12-pack of Coors Wimpies before they get warm. What’s next? A contract offer to Jamaican track star Usain Bolt? Hey, Al, that’s not a bad idea.

ONE: To Joe, With Love- Sure, she’s dating Jamie Kennedy (awful) and is the star of a Friday night TV show (not good) about a girl who talks to ghosts and hangs out with them (brutal). But we think it’s time for Jennifer Love Hewitt, the babe from “Ghost Whisperer,” to give NFP Fantasy expert Joe Fortenbaugh a call. Is this a sign of desperation by Fortenbaugh? Without a doubt.
