Let's whore Morrissey out for every NFL team

As I'm sure you've seen and heard if you've watched more than 10 minutes of a NFL broadcast this season, the NFL Network is using Morrissey's "Everyday Is Like Sunday" as the centerpiece of their new advertising campaign. Apparently, it was only the second most wholly-inappropriate 80s song they could find, but the royalties cost for U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" were just too high. If you haven't seen the commercial yet, here it is:



Which got me thinking: if you're going to use one Morrissey song, why not dip into ihs whole back catalog, including his songs with The Smiths? I have some suggestions that the NFL Network could use to create team-specific commercials for this season:

  • Panic - New England Patriots (they might want to change the chorus to "hang Matt Cassel, hang Matt Cassel, hang Matt Cassel")
  • The Last of the Famous International Playboys - Arizona Cardinals (lots of shots of Matt Leinart partying with coeds cut with him sitting on the sidelines)
  • How Soon Is Now? - For the young, upstart Buffalo Bills
  • The Ordinary Boys - Dallas Cowboys
  • There's A Place In Hell For Me And My Friends - Detroit Lions
  • Bigmouth Strikes Again - Cincinnati Bengals (featuring highlights of Chad Ocho Cinco)
  • We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful - Green Bay Packers
  • The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get - The suddenly 5-0 Tennessee Titans
  • You're The One For Me, Fatty - Philadelphia Eagles, focusing on corpulent head coach Andy Reid
  • You Have Killed Me - Kansas City Chiefs, with highlights of Tony Gonzalez walking off the field following defeat after defeat
  • This Charming Man - New York Jets
  • Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - Seattle Seahawks

  1. Morrisey is to football as George Bush is to brains.

  2. You dick! You should have contacted me before you threw this list together!

    Maybe you didn't because I know jack about crap about football. But I know everything about Morrissey!

  3. I can't imagine Morrissey would sign up for this unless he thought it was the "other" football.

    Nothing says hard-nosed smash-mouth football like an effeminate 80s new wave crooner. Even though I happen to love Morrissey.
