A More Colorful NBC

After a brutal opening game to the NFL season, a game so bad that I was actually flipping to MTV to catch the JWOWW/Sammi Sweetheart fight, I was only able to take one memorable thing from the whole 4 hour New Orleans slobber-fest that was mistakenly promoted as a football game.

As is constant with all the major networks and new Fall shows, NBC was over-hyping their new show Undercovers. Each progressively frustrating commercial break during the Vikes/Saints game had a preview of this show. The premise, I guess, is a Mr. and Mrs. Smith husband/wife, spy/hitmen concept, using two black actors.

There was nothing memorable about these previews until the end of the ad. As the NBC logo popped up, so did a new slogan. "More Colorful." This made me laugh, in that the show focused on two black characters, and no one at NBC caught the irony.

Hopefully this weekend's slate of NCAA games won't be as disappointing as this game. Enjoy the college picks of the week in the post below.
