The 38th renewal of the AFC-NFC World Championship Game pitted the New England Patriots against the Carolina Panthers within Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX. The Patriots were coming off the strongest season record by any team since the 1972 Dolphins, while the Carolina Panthers were two seasons removed from a 1-15 season. The event was marred by an embarassing act of exposure involving singers Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake during its halftime show and also by a professional streaker who delayed the start of the third quarter, but despite these embarassments the game itself proved to be the most exciting in the event's history.

After a stalemate opening the points started to build up until the gripping finale where the Patriots snatched it at the death. Now obviously the highlight of this was at half-time when we had the Justin and Janet episode. Hell that was great. The look on Ms Jackson's face!!! lol. I can't believe ABC would actually be offended by that because it was nothing compared to a lot of things that American TV allows. But without doubt the Super Bowl is one of the highlights of the sporting year.
