After the Steelers beat the Chiefs at home in a playoff game
today, we heard: “NBC Sports thanks you for watching…”
They thank us for watching a football playoff game? Like
nobody would watch it otherwise?
Maybe they should say, at the beginning of the game: “Oh,
please, please watch this special NBC sports presentation! We’ll be your best
friend if you do! We spent so much money on it! We don’t want to go broke like
we do on the Olympics!”
I think they should have said: “We went out of our way to
bring this game to you. Anyone who didn’t watch it is going to get their ass
kicked! When you least expect it, expect it!”
Hey, this could be a whole new football ad campaign! Just
show a huge football player ringing doorbells of people who do not watch
football, and when they answer the door, the players tackle them. Then they
say: “This is what happens to people who do not watch NFL football!”
