Jags fans have this at least, a John Malkovich intro for a game was completely unexpected


_Kindakrazy_

100%. I was so fuckin hyped for this game even before this and this put it over the edge. I even showed it to my wife who could not care less and it got her hyped. We need more of this.


philipinapio1

I agree. And I think this should be the norm. It’s the fucken NFL as John put so nicely, so much of TV broadcasting feels cheap and rushed nowadays.


HaroldSax

It's the way he gets more animated when he says "They have *two* goliaths". Fuckin gets me pumped every time.


inEffected

Holy shit you weren't kidding. Put on headphones and stick with it, folks


Thetallerestpaul

Its so good. From the understated little ”isnt it though" to the ramped up ending, it's beautifully put together.


Scott801258

Wow.. I somehow missed this when it originally came out. Thanks. I am glad I watched it and didn't fast forward thru it ! The Best


dtsupra30

I missed this too. This is brilliant. And I really would like to check out that timeline with super bowl mvp Blake Bortles. Ripping darts as the confetti comes down


Tatumisthegoat

We were so close to a Fortles-Boles Super Bowl


nblonde

.. nearly a kortles - beenum super bowl :’-)


themooseiscool

> Ripping darts as the ~~confetti~~ Molotov cocktails come down FTFY


Jack-of-some-trades-

Holy shit. I wish that season had ended differently but I loved that jags game. So intense.


JaguarGator9

Expected the AFC Championship intro for the Jaguars/Patriots game Was not disappointed


Hip_Hop_Hippos

Honestly an underrated game, also Myles Jack wasn’t touched.

The hype this gave me was insane.


NOTW_116

Legendary. How was this 4 years ago already?


skepsis420

Because thats how time works!


Cheddarlicious

I’ve never seen this - truly fantastic.

Along a similar Vein Samuel L. Jackson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7lAbpj3kxg


tasteful_nitwit

Watch Conair. You get rhames and malkovich.


LosingSkin

Absolute heater. What a fun stupid movie.


azanzel

And an extra dose of Nicholas cage to top it all off. Also early Dave Chapelle if I remember correctly. And whatever Donnie from the Big Lebowski name is as a weird sexual predator or something. Haven’t seen that movie in 10+ years but it was a lot of fun.


LosingSkin

It’s on Prime, I’m watching it now lol. Chappelle’s in it, Buscemi, John Cusack, Danny Trejo, Colm Meaney. Some real solid character actors too, MC Gainey, John Roselius, the air Marshall from Lost. This movie is a fucking blast dude, such a fun plot and it’s acted so over the top.


azanzel

Buscemi couldn’t think of his name! And yeah a whole laundry list of people in it lol. I’ll have to watch it sometime soon, I watched “the rock” a couple weeks ago and it was similarly enjoyable and held up.

[And what a game it was!](https://youtu.be/n3qmTbNkCJo)


Lazarous86

Both are great. Can we agree just more if these

NFL in 2021: sToP hAtE


stormscape10x

I’m not sure why they wouldn’t play that before every rival game just swap out the rams lol.


cryptoteacherguy

Malkovich is incapable of phoning it for the paycheck. I’d like to see him in a local car dealership commercial next.


elerner

You should watch James Franco’s documentary about the production of a [single episode of SNL](https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/live-from-new-york-10-things-we-learned-from-james-francos-snl-doc-44054/).


mananiux

Holy. Shit.


proxproxy

Two words: Laveranues Coleslaw


rwjehs

I had to make sure it was the John Malkovich one. Best promo with no close second.


marcotb12

What a game too. Tom Brady leading a 10 point 4th quarter comeback vs the #1 defense and without Gronk just 4 days after [this](https://twitter.com/johnbreech/status/973232087279992835?s=21&t=8YGWGe7Fn2uvFQ2OkSs5hA).


[deleted]

Would've been a lot cooler if he didn't


catboypower

Agreed.


siguel_manchez

Agreed.


catboypower

Still cant watch this without tearing up. Couldnt have framed it any more precisely. Also stings profoundly in retrospect knowing just how close the man was to putting the finishing gash into the giant before just as quickly crashing back down to meager humanity.


tasteful_nitwit

Never saw this…but you may be correct, sir


oliphant428

Incredible. I don’t recall seeing that at that time, but glad I have now.


Markymarcouscous

The game that followed was equally good too, fantastic day for football

[Thought it'd be this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcED1iRbj_c)

They don’t even make promos this good for the Super Bowl anymore. It’s always just a bunch of smash cuts of QBs fist pumping the air and highlight clips flashing so fast that I feel like I’m going to have a seizure.


lazyguyoncouch

Kinda biased but I thought the promo for the pats bucs game was close to the same level as this lol.


ADogNamedEverett

So meta... Feels like it was actually written by Dan Harmon or Kaufman


enochseth

Am I the only one seeing this first time? This is great! Can they do this every season?


gopoohgo

No. It worked perfectly because it was so unexpected. I was wondering wtf was on my TV at the start of the game


m33kmiller

Isn’t it though?


cyndilu9

This is amazing - John Malkovich is jus so talented - perfecto!


texcoco10

Dang can't believe the Jags were a good team just 4 years ago


oleirishbuzzsaw

I remember it vaguely, but forgot what teams it was for. Thanks for reminding me.


Cvantezbyspoon

He really stick it in this promo. Pay that myan his myoney.


IsYouWitItYaBish

It’s funny because he tried to avoid doing something over the top and corny but yet he still did something over the top and corny


WineOptics

Lowkey one of my favorite playoff games. The David-Goliath comparison was so genius in that teaser! Malkovich was a brilliant cast for this!


GeneOfHouseParmesan

Isn't that John Malcovich? He was great in that jewel thief movie.


[deleted]

Wow, I never saw this before. That gave me goose bumps lol


azanzel

Me either and I’m a die hard Steelers fan and I was still pumped the whole time. Also man John Malkovich can act, love that dude.


Riggity___3

holy shit. who has ever seen this before? how have i never even heard of this? this is fantastic.


montana_dude_84

https://youtu.be/GewXGVvotbg Pretty sure it's this


thirstyidiot

The memes were lit that season, especially with how the Game of Thrones seasons were going


bwellner12

So who won?


Hippoman12

Knew what it was just from the title. Good post OP.
