The Bulls announments are in the linked article. Couldn't find a youtube video with the bulls in it.

I loved this. I thought it was VERY funny. Everyone seems to be talking about it and the only negative comments I've seen/heard regarding it are the ones here. Everyone else seems to be praising it.

I didn't find any of the Hornets' players intros funny. I haven't heard the intros for the Bulls yet.

I didn't think it was particularly funny. Just reading from a script of random things supposedly funny because they are "random."

I guess the reason this was done was because it was 80's night?

Moderately funny. Ferrell is usually not as funny as he thinks he is.

NO had 80's night, so it was supposed to be Jackie Moon announcing the Flint Tropics lineups in Semi Pro.

Will Ferrel was also in the area for a movie, so it all worked out.

Mike & Mike were talking about this earlier today--

How soon until other celebs get in on the act--- Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, etc.?

Because it was 80s night and Will Ferrell happened to be in New Orleans shooting a film (I believe).

Do any intelligent sports fans still watch the NBA? seems to me its fans are more like the WWF and Monster Truck crowd...which explains how this Ferrel thing would be popular with them
