Now FOX has apologized. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
"It was an obvious oversight on our part, and we apologize," said Dan Bell, the vice president of communications for Fox.The NFL, however, does not think this incident is a reason to change any policies toward having cameramen in team locker rooms.

I asked NFL spokesman Greg Aiello today whether the league would re-consider having cameras in locker rooms, and he answered, "No, I would not expect that. Video from post-game locker rooms is only available on tape, not live."
So there you have it. The problem isn't cameramen in locker rooms, it's producers who put the tape on the air without bothering to make sure that there aren't any exposed penises.

Holy cow, we didnt learn anything from the Super Bowl halftime show with Janet (see my boob, because i am a boob!) Jackson. Come on Fox, your coverage of the NFL is great, MOST OF THE TIME!!!!!
who cares, christ relax...
I think maybe we need cameras in the cheerleaders locker room. Now that would be news fit to watch!!
I agree with you on that. Why is it that now one ever wants to interview the cheerleaders?
Clearly a plot by the NFL to attract a bigger female audience.
The last thing we need is bigger females...
Bones, it's working. I think I snagged, um, converted about two gf of mines. :-D
Wow, I'm a lady and I completely didn't even notice this! How did I miss it I was soo watching that! You HAD to have been looking for it lol. Dammit! lol
That would have been nice... lol
Damn, I thought that was Ryan LOngwell standing in front of Visanthe..........!

I thought what's the big deal? Get over it move on, whatever...However on a sidebar note, talking as female and casual football fan. it was nice to see some good yardage and to know that he's not coming up short in inches. Also with all this press about it, I know why the NFL has no plans to change the camera policy. Because of the possible increase in viewers by the curious and more females. I know I'll be watching Fox post game show from now on.
lmao yards... inches.... my husband spotted..rewinded the dvr & played it back for me in slow mo.... it was a nice shot..
Check out the NFL Fleece Throw. I got mine at Harriet Carter.
Speaking of Janet Jackson, she was a classical case of "The King's New Clothes." I have not heard or seen one TV commentator, entertainment or sports, PR person, news reporter or blogger state the simple factual truth - Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake set the whole thing up. Her top was especially made for the event and she and Timberlake practiced it before going on. Jeez! Is everyone on the planet stupid, ignorant, high or so star-struck that they want this bizarre and distateful scene to go by without a revelation of what actually happened?! As Howard Stern said, when a 40 year-old does a trick like this, it is gross and unwatchable. If a 20 year-old did the same thing, it would be marketable, hot soft porn.
Locker room interviews are stupid. It's a locker room...personal time. Stop the press at the door
Guess I'll start watching football now :)
hell, if they showed more penis,Id watch more often
wanna see my penis?
oh my god! how awful! a penis exposed! it is the standard equipment of the male half of the species. I'm sure that by now, everybody knows that men have them and what they look like. Get real, people!!!!
