As big games go, the Super Bowl is the biggest. How big is the Super Bowl? It's the one time out of the year where people who think that "touchdown" is what happens when a baseball player hits a ball out of the park.

Come up big in the big game, and you're an icon for the rest of your life. Come up short in the Super Bowl, however, and you're liable to be banished into the pits of hell. At best you become a laughingstock (see Lett, Leon, and Aguilera, Christina); at worst you can never live in your team's city ever again (see Norwood, Scott). Hopefully, we won't (but secretly we do) see any fails tomorrow night between the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens. But in the mean time, check out the 50 Biggest Fails in Super Bowl History.
