Wanna Watch The Super Bowl Live? Tough

Last year, ABC insisted that despite the Janet Jackson fracas that the Super Bowl was a "news event" and news events should not be put on tape delay. This year? They're putting the big game on a tape delay. Five seconds in fact. So if you want to know who is scoring a touchdown before your friends, put on the radio. Is ABC being wise or childish?

Wise. 5 seconds is no big deal and why take a chance?

But it's not a sketch comedy show or a TV drama, it's an actual event taking place in the world, like a press conference. Are they really worried Mick Jagger will strip down during the Halftime show?
