Nickelodeon Debuts SpongeBob SquarePants NFL Intro

NFL fans are loving the SpongeBob SquarePants intro for today's Playoff game on Nickelodeon. Millions of viewers are tuning in to see the spectacle that Viacom and the league announced last week. Now, the Internet is freaking out as everyone expected they would. The opening moments of the broadcast included a tweaked version of the SpongeBob SquarePants theme. Twitter users especially can't get enough of the zany content from Nate Burleson and Noah Eagle as they uses all the iconic scenes from Bikini Bottom during the game. As an added bonus, they're breaking the rules of football down for a younger audience as well. So, buckle up, it's going to be a wild afternoon of TD and slime over on Nick.
