DALLAS -- Debbie Did Dallas. Ryan Pickett is taking a pass.
What Super Bowl would be complete without a player using it as a moral platform? Last year, it was Tim Tebow and his pro-life commercial. This year it's Pickett.
Green Bay's defensive tackle not only wants to stop the Steelers this Sunday. He wants to stop pornography.
Like Tebow, this has triggered a chorus of people screaming "Butt Out!" To which I say, why so sensitive?
NFL players have campaigned against smoking, drunk driving, homelessness and numerous other causes over the years. Pickett isn't telling people not to engage in their chosen activity. Just be aware there are consequences.
As for the appropriateness, if it's okay to use the Super Bowl to promote Fritos, Budweiser and Go Daddy, why not throw in a plug for happy marriages?
Why not? Because according to the critics, the Super Bowl is supposed to be a holiday from such histrionics. Especially Super Bowl XLV.
This is Dallas, as in Debbie Does. The 1978 porn film is considered a classic of the genre. Who could forget the moving story of a small-town girl who wants to become a faux-Cowboys cheerleader and pursues that dream by any means necessary?
Dallas was home to Nate Newton, who famously said he and other Cowboys were "running a few whores" through the party house they rented.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is home to about 60 strip clubs. One owner said the city needs to import 10,000 strippers to handle this week's demand.
Even if Ben Roethlisberger falls off the choir boy wagon, that was a preposterously publicity-seeking number. But it played nicely into Big D's reputation.
