While watching the Chicago Bears demolish the Seattle Seahawks on NBC’s Sunday night NFL broadcast, I had to endure countless advertisements for one of NBC’s new series. The series is called Friday night lights; it’s a fictional series about high school football. Based on the advertisements, it looks to be a soap opera about high school students (who actually are 20-something actors, of course); I do not plan to watch it.

However, one of the advertisements sought relevance to the NFL broadcast by featuring NFL players talking about high school football. In that advertisement, Trent Dilfer uttered an outstanding statement: “When I think about high school football, I think of what happens on Friday night.” I may be going out on a limb with this, but I bet he thinks of what happens on Sunday afternoon when he thinks of the NFL, too.

In defense of Dilfer, he probably said more than the quick quote NBC aired; it’s just too fun to overlook.

Also, during the game itself, John Madden told us, the viewing audience, “You know, they say winning is a great deodorant.”  That says it all, doesn’t it?
