It didn’t take long for Michael Thomas to reintroduce himself. The New Orleans Saints wide receiver caught the first play of the game on his team’s opening drive, then followed up with a red zone touchdown catch on their second possession.
That’s exactly what you want to see from Thomas after his injury-marred season, including three weeks of rest on the injured reserve list going into this playoff game. What you may have not expected to see were the enormous slime cannons that popped up in the end zone on the Nickelodeon broadcast.
While it was only computer-generated slime in this instance, the good is one of the channel’s staples and has been for decades. So it’s cool to see Thomas and his teammates (and, hilariously, the defense they just beat) covered in it, even if it’s digital. Honestly, they may prefer it that way.
