Bye. On behalf of football, see you later. You want to blame the league, when it was the network who was at fault. The ratings are up again this year. CBS bought the rights to broadcast NFL games, which includes a spot in the Super Bowl rotation. Should the league have gone with NBC, even though they weren't willing to pay as much? With the way things work, the NFL doesn't have much of a choice but to do business with broadcast networks. They cannot have a cable channel run more than half of their games. Many more people would not be able to see the games, and they would lose viewership.

Hey, guess what, she wasn't even naked. I would think Richard Hatch naked on Survivor is more offensive than a covered up female breast.

Now let me get this straight....Because the NFL sold the rights to CBS, the NFL has no say in the halftime show, no say as to what is broadcasted? If you think the NFL has no say in this manner, the why did the NFL prohibit the Las Vegas Casinos from showing the game on anything larger than a 55 inch screen?

Doesn't the NFL have a claim for exclusive rights over Rebroadcast? "Any broadcast or reproduction without permission from the NFL is prohibited by law."

Finally, I am not a prude, If I wanted to see the game with breasts jiggling about, I would have gone to a topless bar. The problem I have is the Jackson family is setting the standard for child molsetation and public nudity.
