I'm sure it's meant to be humorous, ala Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller, or
Bill O'Reilly.  No, they're all 3 battling for "most mature" status among
American pundits.

looks pretty flat from here, and it's not getting any warmer today!

Tommy may have been referring to the whole show, not just Ms Jackson's boob.
I thot it was a pretty disgusting show too, but the "accidental" flash made
the Stupid Bowl worth the trouble, and kept many talking heads busy for a
few days.
