NFL/Worlds corssover?

I doubt it would be easy, but with the Rams back in LA, I wonder if a neat crossover thing could be done, and not just in LA. Maybe have Jatt or Phrek, or whoever, do a sort of guess commentating, and visa versa. Have an LCS commentator guest call either at an NFL game or for highlights, and have Al Michales or Chris Berman do the same for a worlds match. I for one would love to hear Berman's "Woop" for LeBlanch or Zed plays.

Wild thought, not likely to happen, but still, a man can dream. Though if they could do it, it would certainly provide exposure for the LCS, and it might bring in some new viewers for the NFL too. Both groups would benefit I think.

And of course, it doesn't have to be NFL. Hockey will be going by then, as well as other sports. I just know NFL personalities better than any other.

Only color commentator I would tolerate, from another sport, would be Joey Styles. Maybe Jim Ross. They can tell a story/build excitement better than any color commentator for NFL/NBA/NHL/MLB can, while a match is going on.

2015 Spring Split Unicorns of Love vs Fnatic comes to mind, with the match having over 50 kills.

But that is exactly what Riot casters, especially NA crew with their meme overdoes, yet do, and they do with better knowledge of dynamics/rivalries than what casters external to e-sports can do - plus WWE is scripted, so they have the script of the fight before it happens and they can prepare for it, e-sports are entirely live, so these are not comparable things -

If you even want to go with OP idea, you should chose something entirely different from traditional casting AND someone extremely popular, for example something like the Shqatin a Fool crew casting it (maybe with Rick Fox and/or Gordon Hayward reinforcing the team or subbing someone)...obviously it won't be really good quality igameplay wise, as it can never be with any set-up done by people that don't know anything e-sports, but at least it would be different
