For a few moments, the camera cuts to focus on Eric Kennedy back in his home town of New Orleans, holding a football as he leans on a balcony overseeing New Orleans’ iconic Bourbon Street. Behind him, several friends of his can be seen wearing Mardi Gras beads around their necks and holding Hand Grenades, a tall green drink that has become nearly synonymous with Bourbon Street itself. Though it can’t be heard in the background, the sound of music is clearly heard on the balcony as the friends can be seen dancing and swaying from side to side, trying not to spill their drinks as they enjoy the sounds of Bourbon Street. As Kennedy leans on the balcony, even though the shot only lasts for a few moments, a smile can be found on his face, a sign of his love for his hometown and the people that surround him. The shot fades and moves onto the next spot, but it is designed to reinforce Kennedy’s reputation as a fun-loving party boy from the South. He loves having a good time, but he also loves the people around him and the game of football. It is also a nice nod to the southern markets, which don’t have many teams of their own.
