If you were the type of person who got all of their information from billboards, you'd be a severely uninformed individual. You'd also be sitting down on the couch on Sunday afternoon and dialing up whatever TV a billboard told you was the best to FOX to watch Brett Favre and the Vikings take on the Green Bay Packers. Sadly, that game would never come and you'd wind up punching your hand through the TV before heading off to the nearest billboard-approved medical center to get your hand stitched up. That's because FOX, despite what this billboard spotted in Washington D.C. tells you, isn't televising the Vikings-Packers game during Week 4 of the NFL season. And also because the game isn't on Sunday, it's on Monday night. So the whole billboard just proves that Terry Bradshaw is both bald and a bald-faced liar, right?
Not really. As tempting as it is to accuse FOX of false advertising, the billboard features Bradshaw and Curt Menefee and, thus, advertises the network's pregame show. That pregame show will be the FOX crew's only chance to indulge themselves in all things Favre before Monday night's game and they're merely letting you know that they plan to take full advantage of the opportunity.
Whether you take that as a warning or a promise is up to you, but just remember that ESPN, which is actually televising the game, will give you plenty of chances to hear about Favre the next day. Nine out of 10 billboards agree that you should take your Favre talk in moderation, so making your viewing choices wisely.
