This show is one of my two favorite NFL shows.
At the opening, they did a round table on the NFL's strongest teams. They asked Cris Collinsworth to comment on the NFC. He was asked who is the NFC’s best team, the Cowboys or the Packers.
He said something like this:
“I’ve just watched tape on the NFL’s youngest team, the Green Bay Packers. I watched guys named Wells, Bigby, Poppinga, Jones, guys you’ve never heard of & I’m telling you these guys are playing off the charts. They’ve added a young tight end, Donald Lee, who is making a huge difference. I’ll say this, watch out for the Packers.”
In the game highlight section they showed the action from the Packer Viking game. During the highlight of Adrian Peterson’s injury, the camera panned the crowd and showed everyone standing quietly showing respect for this great young player going down with an injury. The commentator said “Look at all these Packer fans, now that’s class.”
The thing that really got me was the replay of Ryan Grant’s run. They showed it twice, once to show the play. On the second replay the voice over said, “this play would meet the approval of their old coach, Vince Lombardi." Then they showed the play with Vince doing his famous voice over, “On this play, we want a seal here, and a seal here (with the appropriate diagramming) and run the play in the alley” The hair on my arms stood up. It was a perfect touch for a perfect play.
Good job HBO, people are starting to catch on.
