The NFL is one of the most rigidly-run organizations I can think of, which is why when I saw that the Saints-Bears wild-card game would be broadcast on Nickelodeon as well as CBS, I was quite surprised. Would Nick play it relatively straight, or would they bring in their own trademarks to make the broadcast interesting and different?
Fortunately, they went with the latter.
The broadcast had Noah Eagle doing the play-by-play, with Nate Burleson and Gabrielle Neveah Green doing color, and Lex Lumpkin on the sideline. From start to finish, it was an absolutely delightful experience, and the NFL should broadcast at least one game every week on Nick after this.
Here are some of the many awesome moments to behold.
