Were You Ready For The Football?

By oddJoe ⋅ September 6, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

If nothing else, last night’s kickoff special proved that no one, and I mean no one, can hold a candle to the NFL when it comes to self aggrandizement. I mean there were singing stars and movie stars and fireworks all on the TV to glorify the National Football League. Nearly every commercial featured the NFL shield or Peyton Manning; even Kelly Clarkson paid tribute to Raheem Brock by putting on a few extra pounds. Oh yeah, and there was a football game on too; the Colts won 41-10.

In case you somehow managed to miss all the excitement, here’s a quick recap of the 2007 regular season opening game:

    • Rich Eisen is still kinda smarmy, but wouldn’t you be if you had his job?
      Faith Hill is still kinda hot
      Kelly Clarkson is getting chunkier (am I piling on here?)
      John Mellencamp is looking like a weird pruneface man
      Colts owner James Irsay is looking more like a mobster
      The inside of Peyton Manning’s mind looks like some kind of Stephen King horror movie. That sorta creeps me out
      Drew Brees caught a pass from himself; it might have been the best pass he threw all night
      Peyton Manning is still trying to make me like him with his funny commercials, but it’s still not working
      John Madden still thinks the start of the season is pretty great
      American Football Night in America still has the worst halftime show on television
      The Colts and Saints evenly split 20 points in the first half; not quite the showcase of offensive power John Madden promised in his pre-game comments
      This is more like it: The Colts tacked on 31 points in the second half, including two TD passes by Manning that burned New Orleans corner Jason David

      Tom Benson was at the game, and you can see in his eyes he’s still thinking, “Can we move this team to LA yet?”
