 Fight of the NFL tricked us into caring about the halftime show. Because back in the day, the big game halftime shows were mostly just like the Grambling State University marching band, who've been in almost as many big games as Tom Brady. But in 1992, a comedy show called In Living Color decided to fuck with the NFL's money by airing an episode at the same time as the halftime show, and it drew 20 million viewers. That's more people than watch the finale of Game of Thrones. Naturally, the NFL freaked out and was like, fuck, we gotta keep people watching during the halftime show, because capitalism. So they booked Michael fucking Jackson. And ever since, the halftime show has been like a big fucking deal. That is except for when America got all Puritanical after JT ripped off Jadon's Brawl and we were all subjected to classic rock for like six years. But other than that, come on. Lady Gaga jumped from the roof, Diana Ross flew out on a helicopter, and Beyonce Beyonce'd. Twice.
