Sly and Frank Stallone on Monday Night Football

Sylvester Stallone will be the Guest of Honor on the season premiere of ABC’s Monday Night Football on September 8, 2003. Sly is one of the celebrities asked to tape “openings” for the games this season. Sly has the honor of the first game of the season.

If you’d like to see a preview of Sly’s footage, the SZ has it! Access Hollywood ran the piece on Friday and thanks to our own Wizardfenix, we had it posted the same evening! [You may need to go to www.divx.com and get the download.] After viewing it, there can be no doubt that Sly could easily come back for Rocky VI!

Frank Stallone will also be at the game with Sly. During the game, odds are good that the new commercial for ABC’s NYPD Blue fall season will air. When it does you’ll hear Frank singing the song ‘It Had to Be You’.

Sly Cautions Arnie About Perils of Politics

Sun Aug 31, 7:11 AM ET

VENICE, Italy (Reuters) – Arnold Schwarzenegger may be dead set on running for California state governor, but fellow action hero Sylvester Stallone has a few words of wisdom for him.

“I think it’s very dangerous waters,” the hero of the “Rambo” movies, “Rocky” and “The Specialist,” told Reuters in Venice during the 60th film festival here.

“In that particular field you can’t yell ‘action’ and ‘cut’ and ‘take two’ and ‘take three.’ It’s real.”

Schwarzenegger shocked California earlier this month when he announced on “The Tonight Show” that he would run for governor.

Stallone, who was in town to promote his latest movie “Spy Kids 3,” said he would rather battle it out on the silver screen.

“I personally think actors should remain actors, but I know he’s always had blind ambition for that, so maybe it’ll work out great for him.”
Stallone added that he was getting a kick out of making kids’ movies, but for those fans more keen on his action flicks, Stallone borrowed a phrase from Arnie: “I’ll be back.”
