The NFL is changing the Pro Bowl’s halftime show because of Janet Jackson’s breast-baring at the Super Bowl.
Singer JC Chasez was dumped from the program at Sunday’s all-star game in Hawaii after fellow ‘N Sync member Justin Timberlake’s stunt with Jackson at the title game.
The new Pro Bowl halftime plan includes hula dancers, drummers, conch-shell blowers and local singers.
“The commissioner said Monday morning that we will change our policies and procedures as it relates to entertainment during our games,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy said. “This is immediate action that reflects that approach.”
– Bettors wagered a record $81.2 million on the New England-Carolina Super Bowl matchup, with Nevada sports books winning a record $12.4 million, state gambling regulators said in Las Vegas.
– Former New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel, fired after the 2003 season, was hired by the Balimore Ravens as a senior consultant to work with second-year quarterback Kyle Boller.
– New Arizona Cardinals coach Dennis Green released Jeff Blake, saying Josh McCown showed in three starts at the end of last season that he was the team’s quarterback of the future.
