I'd be really interested to see the technology behind this, especially if it works in real time.

This has potential to be crazy awesome.

They are tying to get kids to watch football.

This looks like it'll be fun whether it's really good or really bad.

The Big City Greens NHL version was pretty cool. My kid watched more of a hockey game than ever before.

The Nickelodeon NFL games are interesting.

I'll watch this, Toy Story is a good brand to attract kid viewers.

Is it wrong that I'm 36 and more excited about this than a regular broadcast of the falcons vs jaguars?

I'm 38 and I agree with you. I would've never watched the regular broadcast.
