This is so much better than when Joe Buck was routinely forced to act surprised about the appearance of the cast from shows like The Mick, conveniently on at 8, 7 central on FOX, during painful cross-promotions at major sporting events. Always 8, 7 central. And always this fall.
Don't underestimate the power of brand advertising for brands the public largely doesn't know yet. Sure, we all gloss over Budweiser, but we take note when a pistachio company shows up during the Super Bowl, or Danica Patrick rubs herself against a car to promote, uh, overpriced web domains.

Oh wait they're doing the Super Bowl, too?
