Hank Williams Jr. must be rolling over in his grave.
By way of Rant Sports and anyone else who watches actual sports instead of pro wrestling on Monday nights comes the latest in a string of “let’s get people Bocephus might hate to do his job” intro videos, this one spotlighting Sole Surviving Golden Girl and temporary-internet-sensation-turned-person-we’re-tired-of-seeing-in-commercials Betty White.
Betty’s entire schtick these days is that she is Very Old, and the open brings that in spades — on-field collisions are compared to old folks driving, a brief discussion on the elderly Tebowing is had and at one point she calls Matt Ryan “hot”. That’s the best one, because seriously, only someone on the ass-end of 80 would say that. Also, Drew Brees set a passing record, but defenses in 2011′s NFL are forced to play like Snickers commercial Betty White so we’re gonna cover it in asterisks and move forward remembering this clip as the most important thing to occur.
You can check out the video (and a better one) after the jump.
Dorothy Zbornak is the HNIC.

To think I expected better of you then to start talking about asterisks. Here I was thinking you would post an interesting opinion about the record being broken but no, you go with Betty White and attempt to make it seem like Brees didn’t do a damn thing.
The Brees thing was pretty obviously meant to be facetious, because the Betty White thing is not great.
In that case I wish to retract my original comment.
Betty White is the head (near) nonagenarian in charge, but mostly by default.
Couple of things watching the game:
1) We get it, MNF crew, you guys all watched Dan Marino play football and he was really good.
2) Yes, we’re already aware there have been rule changes to benefit offense
3) If these rules were so beneficial to the offense, why has the record stood since 1984?
4) You can’t spend the entire game saying “yeah, but” every time you talk about Brees possibly breaking the record with “it’s a pass-friendly league now” rhetoric only to about face as soon as he’s actually broken the record.
5) Stop calling people who are going to quantify this record being broken as a product of rules changing and defenses getting crappier “Some people” because YOU ARE THOSE PEOPLE
In short: where the hell is the damn mute button.
