Liam Neeson and Sports Do Not Mix
He's played characters like Zeus, a Jedi Master, Oskar Schindler, and Ra's Al Ghul, plus he has a very particular set of skills, skills he has acquired over time... that unfortunately do not concern sports.
Liam Neeson recently appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter to promote his film Taken 2. Why SportsCenter? Your guess is as good as mine.
What's funny is the way Mike Hill introduces the 60-year-old, calling him an "Oscar nominated actor and sports fan."
I'm pretty sure Neeson is a sports fan, just not an American Football sports fan.
Now when asked by Hill to talk about the controversial 49ers-Jets game Neeson had previously attended, the action star responded: "Ok, we better start again. Are we live?"
When Hill says they are live, Neeson says: "Oh s--t".
From them on, the interview takes quite an uncomfortable, awkward turn as Neeson bumbles on national television about his ineptness with understanding NFL games, and ends up praising the athletes' athleticism.
Neeson's hilarious exchange on SportsCenter should get one unimpressed McKayla, but since he can survive out in the cold with wolves and then rescue his family from abductors, that deserves one I'll-look-over-your-ineptness-of-sports-this-one-time Strahan.
