Are you ready for some gardening?

It's the best of both worlds ... gardening and sports -- more specifically, football!

Have you seen the latest promotional ads for cable television ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" and "Monday Night Countdown" programs?

The promos have ESPN on-air talent pretending to be experts on cable access-type talk shows -- one being a pottery show and the other being a gardening show.

After they go through a couple of funny "upcoming" segments ... a voice comes on and says something along the lines of "thank goodness they know their football" ...

The "Sunday NFL Countdown" programs airs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The "Monday Night Countdown" show airs 7 to 8:30 p.m.
