The Making of ESPN’s Monday Night Football Intro Video

This is my little video I made after attending the Hank Williams Jr. Monday Night Football Intro Video Shoot for the Song “Are You Ready for Some Football?” Back in 7th grade, living in Dover, NH I worked at a place called Emery Farm in nearby Durham. Back then Bill Towles was the manager and Dean Pascale was the head field hand. Well Dean was a country nut from Texas and got me turned on to Hank Williams, Jr.

I used to listen to the Greatest Hits Volume 2 over and over and over. That and he had a “live” album that I really liked. Well when this opportunity came up, the opportunity to be an extra in the filming of this video – I jumped at the chance. So beyond getting to attend a cool video shoot, I got to see the only country music star I’ve ever liked.

Bocephus.

And this is just a little tribute I made to the UT Dance Team. They performed behind Hank in the video. We must have done 60 takes for this song, and each time they had to dance like it was the first. Well they did – and they did so very well.

Stay Tuned for More Videos, Interviews, and Behind the Scenes Footage.

6 Degrees of My Favorite Shows

Ever just love a show, and then start to love another show and some of the same people are on it? That’s cool isn’t it? Well I was noticing that some of my favorite shows seem to have the same casts or writers or something. It all started with SportsNight – which I absolutely loved.

Now this is not an ESPN type show, but a behind the scenes comedy about an ESPN type show. In fact, you needed to know nothing about sports to really love this show. Well it was taken off the air because I was apparently the only one who loved it.

Shortly after that was The West Wing, which was written by the same guy, starred some of the same characters and as time went on, more of them even guest appeared on the show.

Then that went off the air and I started with Studio 60 which was again brilliant. That was the Saturday Night Live type drama that starred Matthew Perry from Friends (another of my favorites). Well that was written by Aaron Sorkin, too.

Then I wondered, was Aaron Sorkin the writer of Chicago Hope? Actually no he wasn’t but Jayne Brook from the West Wing was on it. Then what about A Few Good Men, one of my favorite movies – just so happens Aaron Sorkin wrote the story and the script. (and he wrote Shindler’s List)

I found absolutely no links from Avalon (1999 movie) or Tour of Duty (1987 TV show). Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
