The NFL’s Nickelodeon Wild Card weekend broadcast is going to be so bizarre but fun

SpongeBob is coming to the NFL

The NFL’s Nickelodeon broadcast has officially reached pure perfection. Last year, they broadcasted a playoff game on Nick and it was pretty fun.

This year? It’s going to be absolutely wild. This year’s January 10 NFL Wild Card featured on Nickelodeon will have slime in the endzone, googly eyed players and cuts to SpongeBob and Patrick screaming “touchdown” after every score, according to the Sports Business Journal.

This is going to be fun. The only thing missing from this thing so far is a SpongeBob “Sweet Victory” performance at halftime, but it’s fine. Baby steps.

CBS and Nick already tested the “Nickified” game on a Packers vs. Eagles broadcast from earlier this year and the results were pretty fun — albeit a bit jarring.

Here’s a bit on how they’re doing it, per SBJ.

“Something that happens on a previous drive, maybe by the next commercial break we can have that Nickified play come back to the truck,” said CBS Sports Coordinating Producer Shawn Robbins. “That’s what we were testing.” Robbins said the test worked out well, with replays coming back to the production truck quicker than anticipated. “It was the most unique thing I’ve ever seen doing football for a while,” he said. “In realtime, replays were pushed to the Nick animation studio and sent back to the truck.

Some fans were pumped about the new look.

Others thought it was pretty weird!

Still, though. Is it too late to get Sweet Victory in the lineup? Because, man. That’s an easy W. Either way, this is going to be fun — albeit really bizarre.
