Eddie Murphy calls Giants-Packers game --- 20 years ago!

Ever since the Giants beat the Packers on that overtime field goal on Sunday, there's been something of an Internet revival of Eddie Murphy's 1988 film Coming to America -- or at least one scene from it. It is, indeed, as other Web observers have noted, prescient.

An all-time funny movie. Absolute classic!

Huh? Clarify please.

Bill,
Well, if you're able to see the video clip, Eddie Murphy is talking to his boss, John Amos, and describes a football game he saw the previous night on TV. The fictional game between the Giants and Packers that Murphy talks abiut ends just as the real game did on Sunday. The movie was made in 1988.
Hope that clarifies.
