2014 America's Game - NFL Network

Chris Evans as the narrator... verdict? I didn't think he had the necessary gravitas in the voice though. Compare it to Laurence Fishburne in the 2004 version.

Meh. Hes from Sudbury and is Captain America. Thats fine.

Should have been co-narrated by Joe Pesci and Marissa Tomei

Evans is a Patriots fan and he had that bet with Chris Pratt so that probably made him the choice. I love the America Games that Alec Baldwin narrates.

If he's really a NE fan, how about narrating it with some energy? Very disappointingly done by him. I see more passion from TV anchors reading the news.

Just finished watching it.

Jules is awesome. Great guy. Great player. Telling his dad from the podium that he wouldn't have been there without him was a verklempt moment.

Where'd you watch it? DVR or do you have some sources to share with us .

John Fascenda should be the first human cloned, he should do voice overs of every NFL films production.





BTW if you listen closely you can hear BB talking about doing your job, probably to the Giants D.

Watching my DVR now. Gronk is just amazing. Guy is so full of exuberance.

To say the announcing was dry is like saying the sea is a bit damp.

Did anyone hear Steve Belichick speaking during the clip from "Do your Job"? Man, his voice is errily similar to Bill's, spot on.

I thought the same as most about the program, not much new in content, but still fun to watch some of the great moments of last season. Can't wait to watch tonights program.

They also showed the mediots from their own network looking like fools after KC.

They could make a box set of those every week.

The thing to do is to record it and then skip through the commercials during playback. Do not reward the advertisers.

I did that. I got to watch a one hour show in 40 minutes.

I recorded it and just called Comcast and cancelled NFLN. Looking forward to watching it tonight.

Thanks isn't a strong enough word amigo....You are now a legend in the Brit Patriot household

Notice how they show that the refs pointed to the ineligible receiver to the Ravens then they show Alabama do it and Crybaugh said no one has ever seen that!

Question: After that game, they claimed to have drawn up the play right there on the field.

JE11 says they practiced it weeks before and cites the college game they plucked it from.

Which was it?

Apparently there is a problem with the encoding and the audio cuts out for a few minutes around the 12 minute mark. The uploaded is working on a fix. Oh he also plans to upload Do Your Job. See:

In all seriousness, what interpretation of that even points in the direction of cheating?

I thought it was Brady asking the ref, not to confirm it was legal but to make sure the refs didn't miscall it a penalty when it was legal...Good preparation. IIRC they ran a version of that with Randy Moss years ago, brady to Moss lateral and Moss lateraled it back to Brady who threw a pass.....

Yeah, I have seen...It means I can keep up to date with him though, and hopefully Do Your Job is there tomorrow!

Taped it last night and just watched it today. And WOW.. I'm sure some of the things are in 3 Games to Glory IV and "Do your job", but it was awesome having McCourty, Gronkowski, and Edelman shine some light on the team.

Also some interesting things.. Both McCourty and Edelman told Butler that he'd be a factor in the game.

Gronkowski's 1 handed catch against the Colts was something he had wanted to do because he'd seen Brandon Marshall make a similar catch earlier in the season..

It's truly amazing how Edelman has become such an important part of this team..

Agreed. The "I'm so bored with life" narrator didn't help any, either.

The narrator was Chris Evans. The actor who played the Human Torch in the previous Fantastic Four movie and is currently playing Captain America in his movies and the Avenger Movies.
