The NFL has effectively banned stadiums from playing Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part 2" after the Brit rocker was convicted of molesting underage girls in Vietnam, prompting a search for a substitute celebratory anthem. The Denver Broncos switched to Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's "Go Daddy-o"; Kansas City Chiefs fans voted for P.O.D.'s "Boom." The New England Patriots are polling fans on their Web site for a replacement. Jeff Conroy, New York Giants special-events manager, hopes this isn't a trend. "We play Michael Jackson, others play R. Kelly," he said, citing two stars who've faced allegations of sexual misconduct. (Jackson was acquitted; Kelly's pleaded not guilty.) But most teams just hope to hear their touchdown song--whatever it is--often.
