I wasn't so much offended with the content of the skit, than the fact that it existed in the first place. It's not the job of the NFL to directly promote any shows on any network.

Did T.O. get a check for being in a Desperate Housewives commercial? Probably not.

Did the Eagles approve of the use of their jerseys in the commercial? Doubt it.

Someone from ABC probably said "We'd like TO for the opener", and they said fine. If the exact same commercial was made to promote MNF, I'd think it was hysterical - the NFL isn't their to talk up another product, though.
