This is one of my favorite days of the year! Followed closely by the Extra behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the new theme song which I have managed to stumble upon for two consecutive years now. Don’t judge me. Just know that I have almost a year of pent up frustration over the letdown that was the 2016 version of the song, never mind the fact that Carrie hasn’t worn the short shorts since 2013. We’re due, WE’RE DUE for the short shorts. Bring back the old theme song and the short shorts, Carrie! It’s all I ask this fall.

Does anyone else have the sudden urge to buy a Verizon phone?

Side note: The next time I see a cover band at a wedding I’m requesting this song (2013 version) and demanding they play the extended version SNF chords as the camera pans over the stadium and they send it to Al and Chris. What? I NEED SOME FOOTBALL!

Not short shorts! But the nude dress is an unexpected and welcome curveball.
