"The format of the hourlong program is for participants and celebrity guests to watch original telecasts of games from the past and comment on the action. Previous episodes have included the Jets' divisional round playoff victory over the Patriots after the 2010 season, one punctuated by Bart Scott saying he "can't wait" for the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game. (The Jets lost that one.)"
""I'm at the place in my life right now where, on a Saturday night, after my wife and kids go to bed, I like to watch concerts," Brandt, 46, said. "I open my laptop and I'll pull up a concert from 1992 or I'll watch a Led Zeppelin concert from 1975. I'll watch the whole thing. "This show is like if you watch the concert, but you watch it with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant.""
VICE TV and Omaha Productions created a six-part series titled NFL Classics: After Further Review that replays original game telecasts while panelists and celebrity guests provide commentary. Peyton Manning introduces each episode and contributes analysis. The season finale, premiering Oct. 8, focuses on Super Bowl XXI, when Phil Simms completed 22 of 25 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns in the Giants' 39-20 win over the Broncos. Panelists such as Chris "Mad Dog" Russo and Phil Simms appear remotely and often dominate conversation. Kyle Brandt serves as host and executive producer and likens the experience to watching concerts with musicians breaking down performances.
