MODERATOR'S NOTE: This post was made in another thread - about Werewolves - and I loved it so much I thought it deserved its own thread. I hope Mestari doesn't mind.

And now we return you to normal thread viewing...

BB is more like, ehem, Discworld football.

Well put.
I can imagine a tv advertisement of BB (somebody do a gif about this!):

On a black background, white text emerges:
"In a parallel universe of the warhammer world, things are not quite like they are in the warhammer world..."
(optionally, under the text, there could be images of Warhammer battles etc.)

Then there are flashes of Cabalvision, Jim and Bob, BB matches, Griff and Borak drinking beer together, BB stadiums, other crazy BB stuff etc etc.
Finally comes a screen with BB logo and the text "The game of Fantasy Football".

Or....:
View map of the Warhammer world. Old parchment style. Background music: Dark, like a war documentary.
"Welcome to the Warhammer world."
Image - Orcs and Dwarfs kicking the crap out of each other.
"A brutal world of war."
Image - High Elf and Dark Elf inflicting spiky death on each other.
"A world threatened by the dark shadow of ancient evil"
Image - Archaon in battle with Empire troops.

Sudden Music change: College football type stuff with crowd noise. Like a sports shoe commercial.
"meanwhile, one dimension over, they settle their differences a slightly different way..."
Cue a rapid montage of images, all races playing Blood Bowl, Jim and Bob, Stadia, Griff holding up the Blood Bowl trophy etc...
Final image: A blood Bowl Ball, Helmet and ripped jersey in a heap.
Large BB logo falls away from viewer to superimpose over the equipment.
"The game of fantasy Football."

Does anybody knows wether there is an Soundtrack CD for NFL or College Football shows ?

I mean the pompous orchestral music parts the bring for the NFL weeks overview ?

As soon as I read that I heard the theme for "match of the day" in my head.

I think I've been in england too long.

Mind you, back in the 80's in Australia they used to have the "theme from Shaft" as the theme tune to weekly rugby league telecasts.

Funkay!

One more image that's a must:

A Cabalvision reporter, dressed just like a witch hunter, except that he hass a "PRESS"-note sticking from his hat, interviewing Count Luthor or some other suitably heretic person for cabalvision
