Fox Sunday Night Football...Penis

During some postgame video that aired on Sunday from inside the Minnesota Vikings' locker room was a very brief shot of a partly exposed Visanthe Shiancoe.
The tight end's towel had slipped in an image that lasted only a fifth of a second, according to NFL and Fox Sports spokesmen. (It was a Fox station that originally filmed the postgame segment of the Vikings celebrating the victory over Detroit.)
Within an hour, the image was on the Web.
Shiancoe wasn't thrilled to know how famous he had become for non-football-playing reasons.
