NFL Plays the Role of No-Replay Official

The only wardrobe malfunction during Sunday’s Super Bowl was a planned one in a commercial for GoDaddy.com.

Actress Candice Beckman, 26, a native of Milwaukee who moved to L.A. when she was 19, plays Nikki Campbell, who is shown testifying before a congressional committee. She is explaining her plans for a TV commercial when one of the straps on her top snaps.

The spot was supposed to air twice, but was shown only once. The second showing was a no-go for GoDaddy.

The company’s founder, Bob Parsons, said on bobparsons.com that Fox told him that “after our first ad was aired, the NFL became upset and they, together with Fox, decided to pull the ad from running a second time.”

Added Parsons: “At the very least, we’ll get our money back.”

Trivia time: Tom Brady came close to becoming only the second player to win three Super Bowl most-valuable-player awards. Who remains the only one to do it?

High-class caddie: Deion Branch, talking about the perks of being the Super Bowl MVP on FSN’s “Best Damn Sports Show Period,” said, “I can get Tom to carry my bags.”

Perplexed: Regarding Angel owner Arte Moreno’s desire to use Los Angeles in his team’s name, Tom Lasorda recently told XTRA, “I still can’t figure out what the guy has on his mind. What is he trying to prove? Someone has to help me on this thing. What’s he thinking, that he is going to come in here and get fans?”

Possible solution: Reader Rollo Sternaman offers this suggestion: “Have Anaheim change the name of the city to Los Anaheim and then the Los Anaheim Angels can be referred to as the L.A. Angels. Artie gets the big-city reference and Los Angeles gets the name recognition.”

Adds Sternaman: “Pretty smart, eh?”

Well, it might be confusing if there were two Southern California cities known by the initials L.A.

LA LA land: Dodger co-owner Frank McCourt, before presenting Commissioner Bud Selig with a lifetime achievement award at the recent RBI dinner, gave Selig and his wife baseball caps that read, “Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles.”

Just wondering: If there is a crowd-control problem at Angel Stadium, who are the Angels going to call, the LAPD?

M*A*S*H fan: South Lake Tahoe reader Bill Littlejohn saw this headline on a story about former Iowa player Pierre Pierce being charged with burglary and domestic assault: “Ex-Hawkeye Pierce Charged.” Asked Littlejohn: “Was it Donald Sutherland or Alan Alda?”

Looking back: On this day in 1993, the San Jose Sharks tied an NHL record by losing their 17th consecutive game. They lost to the Edmonton Oilers, 6-0.

Trivia answer: Joe Montana.

And finally: From Jay Leno: “How complicated can football be if Terry Bradshaw is explaining it to you?”
