Title: Cartoon Network - The Big Game XXXVIII Open (Roadrunner vs. Coyote) View count: 5419 Rating: 5.0 (11 ratings) Description: Len, Cris, Nick, and Jerry make their picks for who will win the Big Game, then it's off to Chuck Jones Stadium where Pat Summerall and John Madden are there to call the action. Sideline reporters are Bubba Smith and Scott Hamilton. Like I said in the pregame clip, this is probably the best iteration of The Big Game - not only because it seems to have had the biggest budget, but because they really took the idea and ran with it. This is the only one where you actually see John and Pat, and the only one with sideline reporters. What makes this even funnier is that all of the overblown graphics elements that are used for comedic value here... are used with utmost seriousness on Fox and ESPN. I like the little touches they put in the script as well. Madden goes on a long analysis on the value of the Desert Division vs. the Living Room Division... and mentions that they've been watching the Road Runner and Coyote with interest "since we began televising their games in October". October 1999 was, in fact, when Cartoon Network got the rights to air most of the Road Runner shorts, which had previously been the domain of Nickelodeon.
