Today a fabulous football game was played and peep show broke out at halftime.

Not only will Super Bowl XXXVIII go down as one of the best - most exciting Super Bowl games ever played, it will also be remembered for very prominent R rated moment - Janet Jackson's bare breast.

Isn't this supposed to be a family event?

I mean, really, I know all the guys loved it, and the older guys with erectile dysfunction stood up and cheered, but come on, what's up here (yes, pun intended)?

Justin clearly meant to pull off a part of Janet Jackson's costume, and Janet conveniently had her boob nicely decorated with a sunburst design. Accident? Costume malfunction? Give me a freakin' break.

I just hope my grandchildren were bored by the game and were elsewhere at half time when the boob appeared on the boob tube.

If you were silly enough to pay $19.99 for a little T&A at halftime for the Lingerie Bowl, then you really got screwed because the best T&A was right there on CBS and it was free!

Justin Timberlake offered this "limp" apology, "I am sorry that anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl." "It was not intentional and is regrettable."

Super Bowl halftime, perhaps the biggest stage for maximum exposure, this was no accident.

Football fans might enjoy the commercials featuring crotch jokes, horses with gas, and a horny monkey, but why oh why are we being subjected to erectile dysfunction ads? Perhaps the funniest line of all was actually unintentional, coming at the end of an ad for Cialis "Erections lasting more than four hours, while rare, require immediate medical help." Really?

A Full Monty sideshow TV viewers did not see took place at the start of the second half as a guy dressed as an official ran onto the field tossed off his ref's uniform and did a dance in his G-string. The streaker was tackled as he ran off the field, by Pats linebacker Matt Chatham.

Cell phones, Sharpies, these antics seem pretty tame in the face of a bouncing breast.

Those viewing the game in other parts of the world, (particularly those 300 million Chinese viewing our national sporting event for the first time in history) must have been thinking, wow, those Americans, they may not be able to find Osama but they sure know how to find low humor in high places.

 

And now for the game:

Super Bowl XXXVII had it all. It was a scoreless, defensive battle for the first 27 minutes. Football purists could not have scripted the start of the game any better. Two tough defenses trading punches and keeping the offenses off balance and unable to score. The Pats drove downfield but Vinatieri missed a chip shot field goal, and had another one tipped. Experts had predicted this would be a low scoring affair, and perhaps a less than entertaining football game. Wrong, yet again.

After trading defensive blows for over a quarter the offensive explosion began, and 1 billion viewers worldwide watched the scoring floodgates open wide. The defensive struggle suddenly became whiplash football as these defensive juggernauts started scoring at will.

24 points scored in three minutes

37 points in the fourth quarter

6 TD passes thrown by Jake Delhomme and Tom Brady

24 points scored in the final 3:05 of the second quarter

649 net passing yards a Super Bowl record

 

In the fourth quarter with 7:38 remaining and the Pats ahead 21-16, Jake Delhomme drove the Panthers 90 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. By this time the game was an all-out shootout. Then it was Brady's turn and with the score 22-21 Panthers, Brady led the Pats on a 68 yard drive ending in a 1-yard touchdown pass to linebacker Mike Vrabel giving New England the lead, once again, 22-29 with 2:51 left in the game.

Now it's Delhomme's turn. Jake then led the Cats on an 81-yard drive for a 12-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Proehl and a 29-29 tie with 1:08 remaining.

The Panthers kick went out of bounds giving the Patriots the ball on the 40-yard line. Brady drove the team 37 yards on 6 plays to set up Vinatieri's game winning field goal to win 32-29 with :04 seconds left on the clock.

This was a tremendous game, the type of game the NFL loves, the networks love, and football fans dream of.

Do you still wonder why the NFL has won the hearts of America ?

Oh the agony of waiting until kick-off in September.
