Shut Up, Son

NFL Network has a commercial for NFL GameDay Morning.

That's one of those shows that gives you 188 hours of pre-game coverage on Sunday morning.

The commercial shows a dad waking up his young son early, early in the morning. Still dark.

Dad microwaves the kid's breakfast, the kid is sitting at the table yawning with breakfast and a glass of milk in front of him. They climb into dad's truck, drive out into the woods and climb to the top of a hill.

In front of them, across a lake and high up in the hills is an enormous TV with GameDay morning on, and Michael Irvin doing his thing.

The kid starts to say "I love you, dad" but dad shuts the kid up with a shhhhhhhhh  before he can get all the words out of his mouth.

THAT, my friends, sums up the magic of football perfectly.
