Fans Blast NBC Over Soundgarden NFL Halftime Snub
During the Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots opener, NBC did not air Soundgarden’s halftime set (Outshined and Spoonman) featuring Taylor Momsen and Mike McCready, prompting online anger from viewers who could only see clips; the network instead stuck with halftime analysis while McCready performed the national anthem earlier. Clips of the performance circulated online, and fans recalled a similar past snub involving Ozzy Osbourne.
