Before the show debuted, a number of NFL players appeared in a light-hearted advertising campaign for the show, which featured singing, dancing, and actresses who looked like cheerleaders. The players were Chad Johnson, Tony Gonzalez, Willis McGahee, Clinton Portis, Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, Keyshawn Johnson and Jeremy Shockey.

You missed 85, and there was nothing you could do.

No.

This thread prematurely brought to a sad end by NFL's busting youtube and taking the video offline except for the realmedia version on their official website, for which I absolutely refuse to download the plugin.

I suppose it's time to keep talking about the patriots and tony kornheiser then.

This thread prematurely brought to a sad end by my intervention on your unhealthy obsession with this commercial.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

I see this commercial all the time! (Lately I watch the NFL Network to the exclusion of almost everything else.) When I first saw it, I was only watching out of the corner of my eye, and I assumed the football players in it were being played by actors, too. Do you think the dances were choreographed, or did dudes just improvise?

also, how come everybody but Shockey dances? doesn't he just sit on a couch.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

1. Catchy song.
2. AAAAIIIIIGH WARREN SAPP JUST CAME THROUGH THE WALL OF MY HOUSE AND IS YELLING AT ME IN A VOICE NOT HIS OWN, I AM PARALYZED
3. Girls pretending to be cheerleaders somehow always more fun than real cheerleaders? I don't know.
4. Man is that a catchy tune.
5. I don't know, I can't explain any better than 1-4.

Yeah Shockey sits on a couch and then says "On Tuesday" in an even more off-key manner than Warren Sapp's vocal stylings. I have never seen such a collection of men who can neither sing nor dance singing and dancing on my television. I'm HOPING that whatever Keyshawn and Clinton Portis are doing was not choreographed because that is terrible if it was. They could've at least hired real cheerleaders, if they're going to hire real football players.

Actually, if we're on the top of NFL players being bad dancers, what in god's name is Phillip Rivers doing in that ad where like 8 of the Chargers harrass some poor office drone? Is that dancing??

xpost I'm sorry but your obsession with the commercial is disturbing. I mean, you realize a few weeks ago you made me, Alex and Kate all shut up so you could watch the ad??? WTF. The rest of us were bewildered.

also TS torn up LA actresses pretending to be cheerleaders versus real cheerleaders? Are you insane or have you just read too many of Andy W's e-mails to make sense anymore?? You've seen Cheerleader Playoffs, son.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

it does crack me up to imagine someone actually directing that commercial. and the song is catchy. chad johnson's got some moves, but the rest of them are pretty useless as dancers.

xpost: maybe Tom's thinking of Bring it On? but actual cheerleading championships are as fun to watch as Bring it On.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 18:37 (nineteen years ago)

ugh. I only meant to italicize the movie.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 18:38 (nineteen years ago)

The Cheerleader Playoffs are basically mesmerizing, especially when Ocho Cinco shows up to give thoughtful, serious commentary on the dance portion of the competition. It's like, dude, no one is buying the Aikman intelligent commentator act when you are doing it to describe girl's asses.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 18:45 (nineteen years ago)

aw, man, did they just happen? I missed it!

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 18:47 (nineteen years ago)

It's like, dude, no one is buying the Aikman intelligent commentator act when you are doing it to describe girl's asses.

yet another compelling arguement for cable tv.

I think they are still going on! Though I didn't see the whole thing as I switched back to MNF (BAD DECISION in retrospect)

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 18:50 (nineteen years ago)

oh, you're right! the next airing is going to be Thursday night! I kiss you, NFLN!

tom&ally basically covered everything. nfl network has an atrocious history of white ppl dancing, see philip rivers' motionless legs and shockey's coked up ass. suffice to say i am thoroughly delighted whenever i see this. i don't know what it means that the couch warren sapp plops onto is filled w/bronco fans.

― (9ò_ó)-o Q(^.^Q) (Adrian Langston), Tuesday, 31 October 2006 19:42 (nineteen years ago)

It means fuck some Broncos fans, we interrupting that shit. Watch a real team, damn hippies.
