I Like It, I Love It: Week 3.

There have been a lot of shitty gimmicks in MNF history, especially after ESPN took over. But Tim McGraw’s “I Like it, I Love it” schtick wasn’t bad. Not only does Tim have, quite possibly, the coolest father ever, but it was enjoyable if not a little goofy. But they axed it after only a year. What gives? Not enough synergy? McGraw sign a deal with Fox? Anyway, since everybody and their mom and Will Leitch does power rankings I’ll be wrapping up the NFL week by rewriting “I Like it, I Love it” every week. Now, if I only knew a guy who could sing a decent Tim McGraw impersonation and put together a package of video clips, I’d be in business. But for now, you gotta pretend.

Ronnie Brown ran through the Pats
On their home field
The Panthers found the hard way
That Frerotte’s for real
Eli led Big Blue on a game winning drive
The Skins notched a W as Moss juked and jived
A last second figgie put the Bills at three and o
Felix showed his moves in a ‘Boys win at Lambeau

[Chorus]

Mike Turner got three touchdowns
As the Falcons beat the Chiefs
It was a Pennsylvania battle
And Big Ben got no relief
The Jags beat the Colts for a much needed win
In Cleveland they’re all screaming for Brady Quinn
The Broncos won a shootout on a kick that went wide right
Griese showed his old team that he could throw all night

[Chorus]

SOL teams: Seahawks, 49ers. Win interesting games, will ya?
