Raiders & Broncos On Sunday - R U Ready?

I'm re-posting this article with the video clip about past Raiders/Broncos battles. These AFC West Division rivals meet for the 97th time this Sunday at the home of the Raiders. It'll be wet, cold and muddy with steaming hatred and madness billowing up from the bloody playing field. It's an event that echos the brutality of clashes between Spartans and Persians, Crusaders and Mohammedans, Allies and Axis Powers. And Nobody builds the tension of an anticipated action-packed event like Samuel L. Jackson. Nobody!

I've always applauded the acting talent of Samuel L. Jackson. He just has a natural ability at lighting up a scene with real life drama.

I came across this Monday Night Football intro with him that adds evidence to why he's such a great dramatic actor. Watch as the slick smile, the disturbing stare, the rising voice of hysterical anger all culminate into this heated introduction of a clash between two rival teams. This he pulls off while sitting immobile in a chair with only the close-up camera shots and spliced in highlight reel as illusions of movement. The beauty of his escalating delivery is that its convincingly directed toward you, the viewer, as a challenge. So are you ready for some football? Well, are you Punk?
