The shocking TMZ report that Michael Jackson died Thursday has repercussions that go far beyond the world of sports, but in our corner of the world, we should note that the King of Pop had the greatest Super Bowl halftime show performance in history.
The Super Bowl performance was Jan. 31, 1993, and it looked like the Super Bowl halftime show had given the then-34-year-old Jacko a career resurgence. It didn't quite work out that way -- allegations of child molestation will hurt a career -- but he did give us the most memorable Super Bowl halftime show ever.
TMZ reported Thursday afternoon that Jackson had died at the age of 50. He is survived by his three children (Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II), his eight siblings (Rebbie, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, La Toya, Marlon, Randy and Janet) and his parents, Joseph and Katherine.
