I never participate in fantasy football. Ever. I have enough stress in my life and enough teams to worry about without having to cater to stressful teams that don’t really exist, let alone the other people who take it way too seriously. In lieu of this, I play fantasy hockey — and that’s it. However, a relatively new commercial on ESPN recently caught my eye and made me truly LOL. It also made me appreciate fantasy football a little more…and on an intergalactic level. Check it out:

Although I’m sure viewers at home got a good idea of how well the NFL and its teams paid tribute to those lost on September 11th, I deemed it necessary to keep my camera rolling throughout the ceremonies while I was at the game. I think the sights and sounds are a lot more tangible from this point of view. The following video shows what I believe to be the highlights and most touching moments from the night, both before the game and at halftime. There is no game footage at all, despite my being a die-hard Jets fan and how dramatic their comeback victory was. Instead, I offer you all the best moments of a perfect tribute. Hats off to you, NFL.
