totc Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 In nine months, NFL Films should be debuting the next installment of America's Game, which takes a detailed view of the season through interviews with three members of the winning franchise (usually two players and a coach; sometimes three players).Which of the 12 remaining teams have the best storyline for America's Game?I got two picks. One is the Jets (using Rex Ryan, Mark Sanchez, and Darrelle Revis), using the storylines of Ryan's relationship with his father, the controversy over the TV Azteca reporter, Revis' holdout, and the dramatic last-second victory over the Steelers. The narrator would be Michael Imperioli.The second is the Eagles (using Andy Reid, Michael Vick, and Desean Jackson). The storylines would include McNabb's trade, Reid's sons and the law, Michael Vick's incarceration (not to mention not even starting the season), and Jackson's punt returns including the game-winner against the Giants. The narrator would be Kevin Bacon.When you answer, give us who you think the talking heads should be, the turning points of the season, and the narrator.

tBBP Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Seahawks (Pete Carroll, Matt Hasslebeck, Brandon Stokley) Narrated by Bobcat Goldwaith only a 7-9 season can be decided so elegantly.Yep...that's my pick (minus all the rest of that). I will add "worst-ever record by a wild-card team", and this, provided the 'Hawks hold:REMEMBER THE CARDINALS. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDC Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Marshawn Lynch are you kidding me? That was unbelievable. Holy crap, they actually won!EDIT: Well, this is awkward. Wrong thread.

totc Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 The Seahawks are the most interesting of the last eight, but aside from a coach leaving his college program in shambles and an over-the-hill quarterback with an outspoken wife, who are the interesting, compelling narrative figures for that team? Eddie Vedder would be the narrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakonius26 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The 2010 Patriots with Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, and Devin McCourty...But seriously, it would probably be the Ravens in the AFC with their defensive coordinator Dean Pees losing his sister, and of course, Ed Reed losing his brother regardless of the circumstances. I always though the story of the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, while not a favorite team of mine, and I knew of most of the issues surrounding Ray Lewis, was a good episode.In the NFC, it would have to be the Falcons (Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Mike Smith) or Packers (Aaron Rodgers, Charles Woodson, Donald Driver or Mike McCarthy), both replaced a good quarterback/legend in the city, and despite the critics, rose to the challenge to prevail as Super Bowl Champions, either with a dream season (Falcons), or underdog story (Packers).

totc Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 The Falcons would be an interesting America's Game when you add the perspective of the end of the Vick era as well as that one coach who ran off to coach the University of Arkansas.The talking heads would be Mike Smith, Matt Ryan, and a person to be named later. The narrator would be Ted Turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totc Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 OK, so I'd say we're going to have Aaron Rodgers, Charles Woodson, and Mike McCarthy with Michael Douglas as the narrator.Extensive Brett Favre intro, leading into Packers' last-gasp to get into the playoffs, and the big "confidence builder" is going to be the playoff game at Philadelphia. The Super Bowl coverage is going to rest on the two TD throws and the 3rd-and-10 with six minutes to go.I can hear "Rise to Win" right now ....
