ESPN Apologizing After Woman Flashes Breasts During Sugar Bowl
ESPN is apologizing after camera crews accidentally aired a woman flashing her breasts during the Sugar Bowl this weekend.
College football has been the talk of the country for the past few weeks, but ESPN is apologizing for something they had no control over during the Sugar Bowl… or so it seems! The Sugar Bowl took place at the Superdome on New Year’s Day between Washington and Texas. Washington won it sending them to the National Championship, but that’s not what people are talking about.
During the third quarter, ESPN showed footage of fans partying at the Sugar Bowl on Bourbon Street. Anyone who knows anything about New Orleans knows that flashing your bare top isn’t exactly unheard of. It’s also not unheard of for production crews to overlook things during high intensity broadcasts. TMZ shared the video online.
How did this woman end up on ESPN’s telecast?
Here’s the thing, the shots we see of the crowds outside the arena are pre-recorded. Which means, that woman didn’t flash her breasts on ESPN’s live broadcast. Production crews have a limited amount of time to gather b-roll footage, edit it down and schedule it for air. The fact that this very quick boob flash nip-slipped by isn’t exactly shocking.
It’s also not an excuse for the ESPN Sugar Bowl crew, but how mad can you get? An ESPN spokesperson did release a statement apologizing saying it should have never happened.
Personally, with all the craziness going on in the world, it feels like the perfect way to start the New Year. Make sure you add this to your list of crazy things that happened in 2024 so we can look back on it at the end of the year!
The college football season isn’t over yet, either. Michigan will take on Washington for the National Championship on Monday, January 8th at 7:30PM EST. ESPN is set to provide coverage so here’s to hoping none of the crew nip-slips up! Find out what the oddsmakers are predicting for the Big Game HERE!
7 Hilarious Football Fan Superstitions Shared by Redditors
Jersey Power

For some fans, the belief in “jersey power” is real, relying on their chosen jersey to bring their team to victory. A Reddit user revealed, “I change jerseys every game. Never wear the same one twice in a row.” They mentioned that during one season, the Jaguars secured a 3-1 record when following this practice, but experienced a 0-12 record when they didn’t.
Fiery Ritual

Some fans unquestionably take their rituals to the extreme. During Vince Young’s playing days, a Redditor mentioned that they used to perform a rather unconventional practice of burning a photo of the player. They would attach a picture of his face to a Barbie doll and place it on the grill as part of their ritual.

This particular approach might come across as a bit harsh, yet it seems to show results for this person. Apparently, ignoring their wife and kid during the game is their strategy. “I know it’s weird and the results haven’t been great, but I’m not going to risk it,” they wrote. Priorities, dude!
Quantum Football Mechanics
Some say that dissecting your superstitions like a science can work wonders. A Reddit user shared their approach, saying that if, for some reason, they tune into the game late and the Ravens are in the lead, they turn the game off. “Watching will only swing the game in the opposite direction. It’s like the Heisenberg Principle of quantum football mechanics. Intense observation will only change the outcome,” they humorously explained. That’s dedication!

Having a lucky seat or a designated sweet spot to park yourself during every football game is a ritual many fans swear by. According to one person, during game days, they make a point to occupy the exact same barstool. They mentioned, “Everyone has assigned seats at the bar.”
Goodbye Hygiene

Some hardcore football fans throw hygiene to the wind. A Reddit user opened up about their peculiar belief. If they don’t shower right before the game, they’re convinced the Eagles will end up on the losing side. They added, “Sometimes if we had a crappy first half, I’ll take another shower, for a fresh start.”
Habitual Counting

Luck can take some interesting forms, like the practice of counting things a specific number of times. A person mentioned that on game days, they apply three strokes of deodorant per armpit in support of Russell Wilson. Some people are all about the idea that stuff tends to go down in threes.
