ESPN airs woman’s NSFW flashing on Bourbon Street during Sugar Bowl

Just about anything can happen when you’re walking down Bourbon Street in New Orleans, and ESPN learned that the hard way Monday night, 

The network gave its viewers more than just a scenic shot of the famed NOLA street during a commercial break, as ESPN camera operator caught a woman flashing her right breast toward a balcony above her. 

“We regret that this happened and apologize that the video aired in the telecast,” an ESPN spokesman told The Associated Press.

While the network didn’t catch the sight before they aired it to a national television audience, viewers quickly caught it and took to social media to voice their disbelief. 

The exposed breast aired for roughly a second and it appeared the woman had been hoping to obtain beads from an onlooker above. 

The reactions ranged from uncontrollable laughter to using the moment to take shots at some of the personalities that regularly appear on the network.

“ESPN casually broadcasting boobs to start the year,” one user on X wrote, accompanied by a crying laughing emoji. 

“Nice job on the commercial break getting the boob flash ESPN…. lol,” another person wrote. 

“Aaaaand ESPN just broadcast to millions of people a woman on Bourbon St showing her boobs for beads,” a third person wrote. 

“My timeline is talking about seeing boobs on ESPN like putting boobs on television hasn’t been their business model since they first hired Skip Bayless,” a person joked about the now-FS1 host. 

It’s unclear if the footage had been live or was taped b-roll footage that had aired during the game or how much scrutiny was given to the footage before it aired.

The Sugar Bowl matchup, which saw Washington hold off Texas 37-31, was being held in New Orleans at the Superdome on Monday night.

Even after Texas kicked a field goal to trim their deficit to six, the Huskies recovered the onside kick and just needed a first down to secure a spot in the national championship.

But a Washington injury on third down, a costly penalty on the ensuing punt gave Texas a chance.

The Huskies’ defense allowed Texas to march down the field but kept them out of the end zone.

The Huskies and Longhorns traded touchdowns in the first half and were tied at 21 after 31 minutes, but Washington outscored Texas, 10-0, in the third quarter to take control.

‘Shoot it up’ and return

Drew Brees has weighed in on Quinn Ewers’ shoulder injury.

Posting a video of the Texas quarterback getting drilled by Alabama linebacker Dallas Turner, Brees encouraged Ewers to take a painkilling shot or other treatment and return to the game.

“If it’s an AC joint separation…locker room, shoot it up, put on a harness, and shot gun snaps only the rest of the game. You got this young buck!” Brees wrote in an Instagram caption.

ESPN’s Pete Thamel reports that Ewers had an X-Ray and will not return to the game.

Hudson Card, a sophomore who appeared in seven games last season, came in for Ewers in the second quarter.

Texas hung with Alabama in the first half, going into the locker room tied at 10-10 in a game where the Crimson Tide entered as three-touchdown favorites. The Longhorns could’ve had the lead if not for a botched 20-yard field goal as time expired in the second quarter.

Rat poison worse than ever as Alabama opens season

Alabama is a double-digit favorite in every game this season. But don’t tell that to Nick Saban.

“I think the rat poison this year, not to bring up a sore subject, it’s worse than ever,” Saban said on his radio show this week. “I’ve had more people ask me how we’re going to do against Texas this week than how we are going to do against Utah State. I mean, I’m like, ‘We don’t play Texas this week.’”

The Aggies come to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night before Alabama goes to Texas in a marquee Week 2 matchup.

Saban, who has derided “rat poison” frequently in the past, connected his hatred of media hype to the Bible, reciting Matthew 23:12.

“Then I go to church on Sunday,” Saban said, “and the sermon is, ‘He who exalts himself will be humbled. He who humbles himself will be exalted.’ So it’s almost like, you put rat poison in that same thing, it almost fits perfectly.”

That wasn’t the last Saban — whose team is considered the favorite to win the national championship — had to say on a subject that has brought passion out of him before.

“We’ve got to play one game at a time,” he said. “‘How can Alabama lose to this team? How can this team beat Alabama, three months from now?’ Who gives a s–t? How about this game? How about the church of what’s happening now? Now. Can we focus on what’s happening now? How come no one is interested in now?”
