Alex and Ben killed it, Ben's personal space invading mic is now the best thing.

Ben with the microphone during the end interview had me rolling. Damn, that was funny.

The vague commentary is very videogame.

Ok, nice to see a different format. Feeling slightly more like the old skits than the other videos (last year's and the other video of this year so far) have. I liked how Jeff's sweater had the size sticker still on it at the beginning but not at the end. Also the random inclusion of Jan setting up at the beginning.

I was mildly disappointed at first that today's video is only 15 minutes long, but what a 15 minutes it was. This is the kind of 'oliday silliness I've been missing!

Wow, Dan has no idea how to do an interview. That's surprising considering how many he's done in his life.

I keep getting impressed how everybody on the crew seems to be a natural comedian. This was great.

Four things that make this great: the reveal of Jeff's sweater (and the sweater itself still with the size tag), the return of the "Whiskey Media camera angle" with Ben's head out of frame, Alex not looking up when talking to Ben and Ben slowly moving the microphone closer to Jeff's face.

Ben, irony is starting off a video with a tall joke by someone's head being out of the frame, and then unintentionally having someone's head in the frame blocking part of the game for the rest of the video.

Ben's hand is roughly the same size as Alex's head. I just had to comment on that.

The only thing that could've made that better is if Jeff had thanked some fake sponsors like NASCAR drivers do in every interview.

Never got into this game but are running plays not a thing in this game?

I learned so much about football(?) from this video! Feeling conflicted about rooting for Dan though, so it might be a net loss overall. Only time will tell.

Ben Collinsworth and Alex Simms really have great football booth chemistry.

Poor form from Jeff using the Lions, but Dan didn't have a chance either way

I love how Jeff was pretty much just playing around early on, only to then crush Dan mercilessly.

@mjbrune: Well, if the runner got out of the end zone and was then put back into it. If you intercept in the endzone and are tackled there, no safety. That would just discourage sick endzone interceptions.

I honestly did not expect much out of this, but that was hilarious. Good showing, Dan, even if Jeff did get it together by the end.

Also, this made me kind of nostalgic for the older, shorter videos/skits y'all used to do. I love the site and still watch everything, but there's something golden about these fun little nuggets.

This is the real esports. I would like to see more of these commentators during regular football seasons.

What a fun and funny break from the norm! Ben gave me flashbacks to Norberg in the Police Squad! series.
