Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during her Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show caused quite the stir in 2004. The controversial performance mishap featuring Jackson and Justin Timberlake generated endless discussion, and recently-retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady (who famously won that game) offered a surprising take on the incident, looking back at it 19 years later.
During a recent episode of his Let's Go! podcast, Brady offered an eye-opening take on the Jackson controversy, suggesting it was actually good thing for the NFL due to the increased publicity surrounding the Super Bowl halftime show.
Via the New York Post, Brady admitted that he and the rest of his teammates were too focused on the Patriots' Super Bowl clash vs. the Panthers to watch the halftime show, so they were unaware of what had transpired on the field during the intermission.
