I'm not sure why it was even a question. The FCC took up the issue of the Monday Night Football intro featuring Nicole Sheridan and Terrell Owens, and quickly announced there was no indecency involved in the skit.
Of course there was no indecency... at least not in the legal (but admittedly fuzzy) definition. Was it something we expected to see when we tuned in MNF? Probably not, and it may have required explaining something to your 10 year old. But it's nothing more than parents subject their children to watching soap operas, and it's far less impactful than Springer ever was.
I don't think the question should have ever been "was there indecency involved"... it's a moral issue only - and if you feel it's immoral, teach your children to be aghast. Sometimes a parent has to take time to explain a few things to children. Society cannot do that for you.
It was just a skit. On just another TV show. We should be used to it by now. If not, uh-oh.

Bravo. Some adults turn on the parental autopilot and expect TV to raise their children and be respobsible for teaching them morals. The television isn't a nanny.
2 things:
1) The panel of officials to decide if indecent or not were all male. YESS!
2) If you look closely at the ABC report of the decision, you'll notice a little left-handed Nicolette nipple showing... YESS!
Now, back to my dazed stare at the screen whilst I WAIT for blogger to do something.. tick tick tick
