Thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you very much.
This is Sugar Ray Leonard here at the halftime party.
We pulled a couple of celebrities out of the crowd so they could tell us.
.
.
just how the party was going.
All right.
Here we got Phil from Drexell's Class.
Do you like it? Is this good for you? I'm having the time of my life, man.
This is absolutely the best thing that I've ever done in my life.
Are you enjoying the guacamole? Are you enjoying the nachos? Are you enjoying the beer? Are you having a good time? All that and a bag of chips, man.
It's the best.
The best.
I heard that.
Now, we got Blair Underwood here.
[Whooping.]
- Sugar Ray, Sugar Ray.
- Blair, are you enjoying the festivities? Is it a little different for you being here for Super Bowl? - Are you enjoying the nachos? Are you enjoying the guacamole? - Oh, I'm feeling good.
The guacamole's good.
The Redskins are winning.
I'm feeling good.
I hear that.
Now we're gonna go on over here.
If you watch Totally Pauly, this is Pauly.
Pauly's a friend of mine.
Pauly, are you enjoying this? Is there enough "nugs" in the house for you? - Excuse me, sir? - Is there enough "nugs" in the house for you, Pauly? Uh, yes, sir, there's plenty of Fly Girls here, and they're very moist-ure.
- Whoa.
- Now, did you bring Corky with you? Is Corky here? - Yeah, Corky's here too.
- From Parker Lewis.
Yeah, there he is.
Can you step on up here for a minute? Everybody give him a round of applause.
Are you enjoying the festivities? As you can see.
.
.
we got girls here, we got guys here, everybody's having a good time.
People are having beer, people are having guacamole and nachos.
- Are you enjoying the festivities so far? - I'm having a great time.
You? I'm having a very, very, very, very, very, very good time.
Now, we're gonna go to Men On, everybody, Men On.
- [Disco.]
- [Announcer.]
Cable access channel 96.
.
.
presents Men On Football.
- Hello! I'm Blayne Edwards.
- And I'm Antoine Merrywether.
[Together.]
And welcome to Men On Football.
The show that looks at football from a male point of view.
That's right.
Tonight we're live and uncensored.
- That's right, naked to the world.
- Peekaboo! Please, stop.
Do you know we have a new sponsor? Wilson Sporting Goods.
.
.
the official balls of the NFL.
I ain't said a word.
You know, a lot of people were very surprised to hear.
.
.
that we was doing a special football show.
But we've been fans of football for many years.
I mean, what other game boasts such great names like Dick Butkus? Or my favorite, Bob Griese.
- Now, isn't he a tight end? - He was.
Still, there's a lot of things about this game that could be better, like the uniforms.
[Together.]
Hated 'em.
For instance, you know, I was so disappointed when I found out.
.
.
that those numbers on the back, they were just for identification.
Oh, I know what you mean.
The smallest one I saw was 11.
And then I saw one that said 78.
Child, I almost fainted.
[Giggles.]
You need to stop.
And you know, I found that those padded shoulders were just tooJoan Crawford.
- Mm-hmm.
And speaking of old fish.
.
.
- Mm-hmm.
What about those cheerleaders? [Together.]
Hated 'em.
I mean, what good are they? Everybody knows that these are mens.
.
.
who just look at each others for they "strungth" and inspiration to do they best.
.
.
not some scallop on the sidelines.
Fuff! - I don't understand why they bring 'em in.
- Mm-hmm.
And what about this matchup today, the Buffalo Bills against the Washington Redskins? Oh, yes! It's like playing cowboys and Indians.
[War Whoop.]
Well, tie me up and scalp me, but I'd be a lot more entertained.
.
.
if they were playing with the Oilers and Packers.
That's a thought.
[Chuckles.]
- Now, what's your favorite play of the game, 'Toine? - Well, to be truthful.
.
.
- Mm-hmm? - For me nothing beats.
.
.
that "resquisite" moment of tension.
.
.
right before the play begin.
.
.
as the muscular, sweaty football mens get down on that line of scrimmage.
There they is, eyeball to eyeball.
They breaths is comin' out like steam from a big bull's nostrils.
I just got three words to describe it.
.
.
de-li-cious.
I'm through.
Uh-oh, I think I just sprung a leak.
- And speaking of football, let's bring back thatJoe Namath.
- Mm-hmm.
I'll never forget the time when he put on those panty hose on national television.
It must have taken so much courage for him to come out and say, " This is me.
This is who I am.
Call me BroadwayJoe, 'cause that's how I do it.
.
.
the 'broad' way.
" - [Blows Whistle.]
- Time out.
Now, you got to reverse that call.
Joe Namath is married.
Hello! Now, I'm very confused about this part of the game.
Now, Blayne, we all know what a red flag in the right pocket means.
- Mm-hmm.
- But what does a yellow flag in the left pocket mean? - Oh, I think those are the wide receivers.
- Mm-hmm.
- But there's so much about this game that's so confusing.
- Mm-hmm.
For instance, why do they stop a play when there's too many mens on the field? - To me, that's party time.
- Because, Blayne.
.
.
too many mens, that's an illegal formation.
Well, if love is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
Oh, you don't know the first thing about football.
And you don't know the first thing about lotion.
So anyways.
.
.
Oh, you about to seriously work my last good nerve, ain't you? Don't get mad, 'Toine.
Is that all you? [Giggles.]
You can show me how to play.
Teach me.
Go ahead.
- Okay.
You have a ball? - I think I have one right here.
Come on.
- Now.
.
.
- I think I played this one before.
All you have to do is say "hike" and take the little, blue ball and start running.
But isn't that gonna hurt you? Take the ball, silly.
Go ahead.
Say, "Hike.
" [Both Squealing.]
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Where's all the mens that's supposed to chase me? I don't like this game.
Well, that's our show for this week.
But before we go.
.
.
we'd like to salute all the mens playing the Super Bowl with our special Super Bowl snap.
[Together.]
Two snaps and your backfield in motion.
- Good-bye! - Good night.
[Disco: Women Singing.]
[Announcer.]
Stay tuned for Color Me Badd.
Okay, thank you, Roger.
Halftime is almost over.
.
.
but we're gonna try to get some last-minute instructions from the coach.
We're gonna try to get a word from him right now.
Here he comes now.
- Coach, can we get a word from you real quick? - [Man.]
Yeah, you sure can.
Now, what did you tell your players before they left the locker room for the second half? Well, what I told them was just relax and concentrate and play some ball.
I mean, you know, you leave the candy and the girls alone.
.
.
because that makes your legs weak, you know.
What I'm trying to get 'em to do is don't let them dictate the game.
And I believe if we play as hard as we can, then we can play up to our potential, O.
J.
Well, look, how do you feel about the team's first-half performance? Well, anytime you have a big game, I mean, you're gonna have some jitters.
I mean, if we could start sticking some people, puttin' the hands on the people.
.
.
you know, give 'em then I believe the Super Bowl is ours.
Okay, well, look here.
What do you think your guys are gonna do 'round about the second half? You got a lot of opportunities to get going.
Buffalo's got its running game going well.
What are you gonna do about that? They're really penetrating, a lot of running.
What are you guys gonna do about that? Well, what we're gonna do is play some control-type offense.
I mean, we gotta keep the ball from them in the second half.
- I mean, you know.
.
.
[Indistinct.]
- [Horn Honks.]
Open that up.
I mean, because if we don't do that.
.
.
I know it's hard to hear me.
But we'll get a few breaks, and we'll be fine, you know.
But as you know, this game is a game of ups and downs.
So we're gonna go out there and get the momentum goin' for us, you know? Well, look, Buffalo got their running game going early.
They're penetrating the lines.
What are you gonna do about that? Are you gonna put some linebackers in? - What is gonna happen in the second half? - What we're gonna try to do.
.
.
is get our passing game going.
As you know, the war's not over.
The battle has to keep being fought.
You can't allow them to play.
.
.
I mean, they're playing worse than my grandmother would play.
- So they just gotta go out there with our heads on.
- [Gunshots.]
Well, I think that's the signal for the second half.
I got one more question to ask you.
- All right.
- Are you gonna go with your air attack? We haven't seen you do a lot of that in this game.
Well, we're gonna keep running at 'em with what we have.
.
.
and then we're gonna try to keep, you know, get the passing game wide open for it.
- Well, thank you, Coach.
I'm gonna have to wrap this up.
- All right, O.
J.
Roger, back to you.
We're gonna be looking forward to a great second half of football.
