However, Tom Brady thinks that the incident probably happened for the best. In the ‘Let’s Go! Podcast’ with Jim Gray, the retired Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback suggested the wardrobe malfunction saga was good since it kept the NFL in the spotlight. Tom Brady said via Variety, “I think in the end, it was probably a good thing for the NFL because everyone got to talk about it, and it was just more publicity and more publicity for halftime shows. Is any publicity bad publicity? That’s what they say, so who knows?”

The Pharaoh does not prefer watching the halftime show when he is competing in the Super Bowl. But this year, he saw Rihanna’s Super Bowl LVII performance in the State Farm Stadium.
