Delay of game: Super Bowl held back 5 seconds
ABC is putting a five-second defensive line between the Super Bowl and television viewers. The tape delay, for the game itself as well as the pre-game, halftime and post-game entertainment, is an apparent echo of the Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" that marred the 2004 broadcast on CBS. The delay, according to ABC, is the first-ever in the 40-year history of the Super Bowl. While ABC confirmed the broadcast delay, network officials who could explain when the decision was made and why were not immediately available, an ABC spokeswoman said Friday. Last year's broadcast on Fox featured Paul McCartney and did not include a delay. The network said it was treating it as a news event and didn't believe "in tape delaying news events." Besides this Sunday's halftime act with Mick Jagger and the Stones, Stevie Wonder will perform in the pre-show in Detroit. (AP)

Wow. Yet even though it's on a 5 second delay. Word is there wil be a few racy ad's -shakes My head-. Can't we get it straight for once? Look lets go back to the 1800's or lets stay in the present? What can go wrong? It's not like were going to have the Country singer who's pretty up there in years bare all or something.
