NFL Honors Program Review

I am a football fan and have been since I was eight years old. Anything NFL gets my heart pumping fast and watching the NFL Honors on television Saturday night was very disappointing. After a rough year with my NBA I had my last hopes on a great season with football, but was disappointed with it ending on the eve before the Super Bowl with the NFL Honors program on television. This is a great example of a wonderful idea gone horribly wrong.

The NFL Honors was a football program that honored the best players and coaches in the NFL for the last year in football. These are players that gave it all and didn’t make it to the Super Bowl, but still deserve recognition. The Super Bowl honors the two best teams of the AFL and NFC and the NFL Honors should have recognized the individual accomplishments of players in the NFL. The show that I saw didn’t really do any of that. Everyone looked like they wanted to be somewhere else other than here.

The players and coaches seemed stiff and uncomfortable and although I like Alec Baldwin he couldn’t pull it off as the MC for the show. Alec told the right jokes and had the right questions, but it just felt flat and out of sync with the crowd.

All of the players seemed totally out of place. Sort of like Teebow in a strip bar with the television cameras on him. Every time they showed a face in the crowd they looked strained and uncomfortable. Of course all of the NFL players that were at the NFL Honors show would have liked to be in Indianapolis instead of on the show. However, shouldn’t they have also had some sort of relief now that the season was over and done with? I simply didn’t get that feeling from anyone that was on the stage or in the audience.

Seeing the older players like Joe Namath and Don Shula was nice. There were veterans of the league scattered here and there that had faces that were recognizable like Phil Simms and Jim Brown which was nice. These guys didn’t even look like they were some place they wanted to be. You would think for players that haven’t been on television for a while they would be pleased to be invited to prime time, but they didn’t look that way.

There were awards given away like Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year and Play of the Year. Everyone that stepped up to accept their award started out by thanking God and ended with thanking the fans which was nice. Not too many thanked their families or wives which was a little different. Were the players uncomfortable out of uniforms or in a suit? It was a little hard to tell exactly what it was that made this show a failure. It may have been a combination of several different factors that simply didn’t work together.

The music was nice and so were the visual effects of players in a game that they loved. This was a wonderful idea simply gone horribly wrong. I don’t believe we will see another one next year, but you never know. Maybe with a little tweaking it can turn around and be successful. They also believed that we would never make it to Super Bowl forty-six either. The first Super Bowl was a flop and look where we are now.

Katie Perry was a presentor and Lennie Kravatz was singing-someone got that backwards. Should they have had more performances? More jokes? Who knows what the right combination should be. After the this NFL Honors show we know what it wasn’t.

The most important question of the night was asked from the onset. How did they get those big linemen in those little bitty theatre seats?

Thumbs down!
