*Your normal Monday night sitcom is interrupted abruptly, the image switching to that of a red room with a lone figure standing in it, hands cuffed and wearing simple clothing. It's a fourth string QB from one of the less successful teams. Suddenly, bulky men dressed in S&M soccer uniforms walk in from behind and spend the next two hours beating, whipping and torturing the QB before finally executing him like an animal. As the individual bleeds out, simple block letters fade in on the screen and boldly pronounce "LONG LIVE THE NEW FOOTBALL".*

*A rocky bluff and crashing waves sets the scene. An oppressive black cloud cover blankets the sky as if the walls of a great prison known as earth where no sun can penetrate. Booming thunder is the only illumination here. The pied piper dressed in fruity old timey German clothes plays his pipe while football players march like lemmings off a cliff to certain doom to the sharp, wet rocks below. The shattering of bones and splattering of blood cues a players brain matter forming words across the screen: "Football induced concussions are no laughing matter. If you or a loved one is a former player experiencing traumatic injuries please call the law offices of Lamont & Tanelly ESQ"

The jets release the cube and immediately fly off at supersonic speeds. The smoke from their blasts spell out the letters NFL. The cube lands, crushing everyone in the battle. Though some attempt to flee, there are no survivors. The cube unfolds in an extremely CGI manner, revealing the Superbowl XLIX stadium, accompanied by giant metallic logo rising up from the field.

*Football robot is sitting on a couch. He reaches for a bottle of beer, but hits it with his knuckles from a lack of coordination, knocking it over. It begins pouring out over the surface of a riveted coffee table. The robot jumps to its feet swearing as a smaller robot rushes over with a towel. The first robot shouts and pushes the other robot to the floor by the shoulder. The smaller robot begins crying while the first stands there, feet in a wide stance, fists balled and arms bent. He knows he should feel something, but can't remember what or why anymore. The beer continues to pour out, its foam forming the logo of the NFL.

*The camera tracks past a futuristic parody of the Las Vegas Strip, with flag-waving and revelry. Past a barbed-wire fence a soldier perched on a signboard turns on his night vision goggles, shoulders his sniper rifle, and fires. But instead of a lead slug, the projectile is a tiny football. It strikes an unkempt rifle-holding man wearing a football helmet directly in the head, he dies. The camera tracks further back. A man in a suit can be seen lighting a cigarette in a graveyard. He says, "are you ready for some football?" and fires his pistol at the camera. The music swells as we fade to black and see the titles: MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.*

*Thousands of years in the future, a race of aliens from a distant galaxy point their radio antenna arrays skyward and begin receiving a series of peculiar transmissions. These are the earliest radio broadcasts of football, but it takes this civilization many years to decipher the meaning of this "foot-ball". Intrigued by this new sport, they crudely attempt to recreate the sport on their home planet. Cue montage of aliens learning the game via radio broadcasts received through the years.*

*As the radio transmits classic calls from games in the 1960s, the aliens are running basic plays wearing crude pads made of tree bark.*
*As the radio transmissions become games from the 1980s, the aliens are getting better. A portly alien attempts a version of the Ickey Shuffle*
*The aliens develop more complicated plays and intricate defensive schemes as the broadcasts start coming from the 90s and 00s*
*Several years later the transmissions arrive at the current golden era of football (circa 2015, incidentally), and the aliens are wearing futuristic glowing pads and eye black. It is time.*

*Aliens board spaceship and set off on a journey to Earth to prove that yes, they are ready for some football.*

*it is the future, and Football robots roam the ruins of civilization, charging through decaying buildings. One spots a human moving in the debris. It locks on, and hurls a steel football while a voice like a fork in a garbage disposal screams, "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!"

The steel ball hits the startled human in the chest with the sickening sound of crunching ribs, his lungs collapsing as the ball embeds itself into his chest. The robot stomps over to retrieve the gore-covered ball and shakes its head, this one was not ready.

Suddenly a column of light appears on the horizon, and the robot, along with all the others, converge on it. It is coming from an immaculately maintained stadium, the crowd made up of other football robots.

As they cheer wildly, a group of humans that were deemed ready for some football are marched into the field. They wear the tattered, stained remnants of old football uniforms and squint into the lights as they survey the crowd. Many are injured from being clipped by the steel footballs.

The other team takes the field, the most advanced of the football robots. They tower over the humans, eyes glowing red and menacing spikes on their shoulders and boots. Several have football cannons in place of at least one hand. Their uniforms bear no numerals that humanity ever created.

A small, wheeled referee robot enters the center of the field, letting out a sharp whistle before quickly retreating. The massacre that follows is blessedly quick as the humans are utterly demolished. Trampled by the robots or blasted with more of the sharpened points of the steel footballs, their broken bodies are soon removed by maintenance robots who save the uniforms for the next "team" and clean up the field.

One of the player robots looks skyward, wondering when and where they will find a worthy challenge. It turns to a shape on the horizon, which we see is a football shaped spaceship on a launch pad, football robots constructing it to find other races that may be ready for some football.

The camera slowly pans around the ship to reveal the NFL logo painted large and brightly across the side*

Terrible country music plays while man goes into old fashioned bait and tackle/gas station. On all the old black and white tv's that are still on sale for some reason is footage of old NASCAR racing. Man in store realizes he is actually in a twilight zone episode and the gas station is a portal to any moment in time as long as a) it's after the formation of NASCAR in 1948 and b) it's races that Fox Sports Network has the rights to air footage from.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
Ground level. Football stadium. Logo. Two team helmets, facing each other. They tense, then collide together. But rather than the usual explosion, we zoom in on the right helmet's point of impact, and then zoom in farther and farther, details expanding and filling the screen until they lose all meaning.

Pure, beautiful bubbles of memory drift in space peacefully. Inside each bubble is a scene from Right Helmet's life. A family picnic with two tiny helmets laughing, playing with a kite. Right Helmet's wedding day to the love of his life, a sparring headgear. Right Helmet's first day at school, being so scared, his lunchbox wedged precariously inside his facemask.

A roar. The shockwave from Left Helmet's hit approaches like a wall of nuclear fire. The memories have no chance against the apocalyptic force of impact. One by one the fragile bubbles are cracked and blasted by the wave of force and careen away, the memories within going dark, forever.

Zoom out. Right Helmet is in the hospital. A breathing tube snakes into the facemask. Nurse helmets bustle around the bed. The machinery pings like a ghastly metronome. A doctor helmet walks into the room, carrying the results of Right Helmet's brain scan. He places them on the light wall, examining them. We see that the brain damage forms a perfect Monday Night Football logo. The hospital's beeping is suddenly interrupted by a sick guitar riff. The game is about to begin.

The camera tracks a computer-generated vision of two dozen multi-colored racing cars jostling and drafting one another in a tight pack around an oval. One car loses control, and collects three more as it slides off of the banking. They skid across the infield, throwing out clods of mud and grass, and come to a stop. The helmeted drivers emerge, and point at each other accusingly. A punch is thrown, then another, and as the fight intensifies it kicks up a cloud of cartoon-like dust, within which can be seen the legend NASCAR LIVE.
