It wasn't as widely seen as the Janet Jackson incident at the Super Bowl, but an NFL broadcast has once again unwittingly shown too much skin.
In a postgame locker room video that was supposed to capture Vikings owner Zygi Wilf presenting the game ball to coach Brad Childress, FOX cameras accidentally caught towel-clad tight end Visanthe Shiancoe in their shot. The problem? Shiancoe's towel was not fully covering his groin area.
"It obviously was an oversight on our part and we apologize," said FOX Sports vice president of Communications Dan Bell.
The overexposure, which was on screen for less than a second, was filmed after Shiancoe caught what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown in Minnesota's 20-16 win over Detroit. The win moved the Vikings to 8-5, and kept them a game up on Chicago in the AFC North.
"The televising network is allowed, upon request and with the permission of the club, to record videotape in the locker (room) after a game for use in its postgame show," said NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "We will review the procedures with the networks this week in an effort to ensure that this does not happen again."
For his part, Shiancoe did not seem overly concerned with the incident. When informed that the story had become a hot topic on the internet, Shiancoe had only one question for a female columnist from the Minneapolis Star, "How'd It Look?"
