[history]
The second-half kickoff of the Super Bowl was delayed after a man dressed as a referee ran onto the field, stripped down to a G-string and shoes, then started dancing at the 30-yard line.
New England linebacker Matt Chatham leveled the man, identified as Mark Francis Roberts, as he ran from security personnel. The 39-year-old Roberts, who had the name of a gambling Web site scribbled across his chest, was hogtied and carried off the field by police.

I wonder if this is the guy who streaked that golf tournament with "19th Hole" painted on his back and the arrow pointing to his wazoo?

Yes
Mark Roberts is rather internationally known, streaking at major sporting event throughout the world, soccer matches, tennis tournaments at Wimbledon and last year's
French Open men's final.
Same guy this time around.

"Too bad they didn't have the same sense for Janet Jackson's stunt."What did Janet do? I couldn't stomach any of the halftime show, so I was cleaning up the kitchen.
I did catch Kid rock wearing our flag in retreat though. Don't these a-holes have any brains at all?

She said... his referee outfit was held together with Velcro, making it easy for him to rip it off in one movement.I hear there's a lot of that going around

That's what I was thinking!! I remember seeing something on this guy on the HBO show with Bryant Gumbel. If I remember correctly he's even streaked in front of the Queen or some of the royal family at a sporting event or something

For an eyeful, go to Drudge Report. Otherwise, there are numerous threads about the halftime strip show.

What's wrong with Kid Rock wearing the flag? Actually he was the only decent halftime performer.

I forget the year, but it was Ditka's last. He was with Dallas or Minn. as I recall. It was a pre-season game in LA. Ditka's team was in the huddle. A fan ran n the field and passed by the huddle. Ditka extended a forearm, clotheslined the guy and he flipped over. Standing O from the LA fans.

Aside from the fact that he was wearing it instead of waving it, he was even wearing it backwards, as it would be viewed in retreat.
The blue field of stars should always be on the left. When it is displayed on the right, it signifies retreat.
It's too bad they stopped teaching flag etiquette in schools.

It will be hard for CBS to pursue legal action against a streaker who apparently showed less than their own star performer.
