Here's Something To End The Night With

NBC had an unfortunate accident. They gave America our first wardrobe malfunction since Janet Jackson in Super Bowl 38.

Late in the Eagles-Bears game, NBC decided to show a replay of a missed catch by Devin Hester. Only problem though, they showed Hester getting pants'd, revealing Hester's bare ass.



I'm sure the FCC will fine NBC for this unfortunate showing.
