Fairly KickAss Podcast - The Rush: Super Bowl Halftime Shows

January 17, 1971: Indianapolis Colts rookie kicker Jim O'Brien drills a 32-yard field goal with five seconds left on the clock to give his team the Super Bowl victory over the Dallas Cowboys. January 28, 1990: The San Francisco 49ers hang 55 on the Denver Broncos, setting records for the most points scored in a single Super Bowl en route to a decisive victory. January 30, 2000: Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson was thiiiiis close to scoring a game-tying touchdown, coming two yards short and allowing the St. Louis Rams to hang on and win. February 3, 2008: 18-1. The only loss of the season, to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl, would sting New England Patriots fans a bit more if they didn't have like a billion championships to their names. February 5, 2017: One of those New England Patriots championships would come at the expense of the Atlanta Falcons, who amassed a 28-3 lead but ultimately wound up losing in overtime. That would be the first time in 134 NFL games that a team lost after leading by 17 or more points in the fourth quarter, and on the biggest stage no less. Ouch. February 5, 2025: The Fairly KickAss podcast released an episode that is only minimally related to the football being played during the Super Bowl, rendering the above mostly pointless. Specifically, we're talking about Super Bowl halftime shows throughout the years. Which ones were the best, according to discussions and agreement upon the FKA hosts? Which ones could have used a little work? Would any performer dethrone Left Shark? Only one way to find out. So enjoy the episode, and make sure to check out https://www.fairlykickass.com for a listing of YouTube videos on the topic, since the visuals are just as important as the sounds for once.
