sponsored by Coke Ptpsi sponsored the show I felt pretty embarrassed about the whole thing but I felt better after I heard an opinion commentary on CNN January 23 1989 by Jim Huber who stated to the millions of viewers who tune in to CNN that he was disappointed in the half time show presented by Diet Pepsi It was nice to know that I wasn't the only journalist who "fumbled" coverage of the Super
