Tom Brady slammed for saying Janet Jackson Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction was ‘probably a good thing' for NFL

foxnews.com:

Tom Brady on Monday said he thinks the infamous Janet Jackson Super Bowl halftime show wardrobe malfunction in 2004 was "probably a good thing" for the NFL because it brought more publicity for the game and halftime shows.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion was reflecting on the moment while reviewing Sunday’s game and Rihanna’s halftime show. "She’s a great performer," Brady said of the "Rude Boy" singer. "Been at it for a long time, and she just blows everyone away all the time.

She’s one of the unique performers - It’s great to see people on that stage too 'cause I think that stage of the Super Bowl is reserved for a lot of special people… they’re tough to top." He admitted that in the years he played the Super Bowl he missed the halftime shows because he was focused on preparing for the second half.

But he said he did remember the frenzy that ensued after Justin Timberlake ripped off a part of Jackson’s clothing during a duet in the halftime show that revealed her right breast on national TV.
