This Week in Sportsball: NFL Week One Edition (2023) 

"i'm calling both games" definetly deserves a spot in the opening intro

Between 2021 and 2022 Tree increased his intro budget for Sportsball from 1 cent to 10 cents. Now he just increased it to 12 cents, the graphics are spectacular!

Just wanted to say your quiet effort to not just increase the quality of the graphics but also the writing and research is not going unappreciated. This gets me excited for a bigger and better year of NFL football. Well done man!

Best thing about the start of each NFL season is the inevitable return of "This Week in Sportsball" I'm so ready

“Bring out yer dead!” I should NOT laugh so hard at a relentless list of Week 1 injuries, but Tree makes it happen. Bravo, good sir. Been watching your vids for six years and they just keep getting better and better. Football is back, baby!

Started watching this series in middle school and now I’m watching this in my college dorm. I love this series so much

You know it’s a great day in the world of sports when This Week In Sportsball returns.

The culture is actually damn good! Glad sportsball has returned!

Love those kickball sounds for shanked field goals 😂 the intro is missing “I’m called both games”… I think it’s iconic at this point

Let’s appreciate how much improvement production has been made since we first started in 2017! As a fan of this channel for 5 years I’m very happy that this series has really become something special! Thanks Tree & keep up the good work!

Dude has this looking like a late 2000's ESPN broadcast. Well done, Editor Tree

Love that we got Sportsball back, but I think "I'M CALLING BOTH GAMES!" needs to be a PERMANENT addition as the final line of the intro. Too iconic to just drop. EASILY on same level as "The Culture"

That injury list is insane for week 1.... Thanks for the entertaining videos once again Tree!

When NFL Sportsball returns, you know the NFL season is officially here.. The culture is actually damn good!Glad sportsball has returned!.

The editing for this was impeccable. Thank you Tree, the football week is not over until sportsball is here.

Let's get Sportsball 2023 trending on RU-vid! THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL WEEK

The "beautiful night in Cincinnati" blooper was a funny addition, but I wouldn't mind it being phased out after this week! Seems like everyone prefers "I'm calling both games!!" as the go-to Kevin Harlan line. Other than that, SPORTSBALL IS BACK LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!

"Ah yes, the world of Sportsball. A wonderland of joy, laughter, pain, misery, destruction of everything you hold dear and destroyed livers." Tree, first Sportsball of 2018 Still awesome.

Dan Campbell after beating the Chiefs: “I didn’t learn anything from the game last night, what I already knew was simply confirmed”

Every year you get better & better man! Helluva video!

I can always count on Tree to make incredible references to Imperial Roman Battles to compliment the sportsball. Love this channel.

That please reconnect controller gag absolutely killed me. Amazing as always Tree, excited for this season

The editing quality is insane! its like a remnant of early 2000's football coverage from ESPN or FOX, well done!

The amount of joy that has entered my body from seeing a new sportsball video has overflown my system. Thank you tree for these, and welcome back NFL!

Ah this is a blessed day, that new intro kicks butt and the effort you put into Sportsball is eternally appreciated.

Top tier editing. We just need the “Im calling both games” part.

I LOVE the new graphics! And all the new sound bites are welcome additions that hopefully refined as the season goes on. All the excitement for the new season!

"That's not what he wanted to cook" honestly makes me laugh every time.

When UTree uploads these videos, it is holiday for sports fans. May we all remember UTree’s sanity during this time. You are the man UrinatingTree

I really like the experimental week 1 new visuals! By far the best you’ve done on that front! I will say the intro and exit between segment could use a tad more polish. Sometimes the sound effects start right after Tree is done talking and since they are louder it can be jarring. Overall great work and thanks as always for making this content for us!

The intro graphics are awesome Tree! It’s always the best time of the year when This Week In Sportsball NFL Edition is back!

I'm not a huge football fan but I love watching UrinatingTree because of all the great videogame sounds and music randomly thrown in with perfect timing.

The "derp derpity derp" song at the Cowboys-Giants segment got me laughing so much. Great video, glad the series is back!

Lost it at Jim Carrey's "oh, Come on!" After dolphins miss the extra point.🤣🤣

Loving the new visual touches to Sportsball! Keep up the good work, Tree!

I didn't realize how much I love these until I genuinely smiled when I saw the upload

Just rewatching old sportsballs before the last one of the season goes up, and I just wanted to say thank you for posting these. Watching these has gotten me through one of the darkest periods of my life and I honestly dont think I would be here today if not for these and you .

Great video to start the sportsball season! The only critique I personally have is I think swapping which side the home and away team are on on the graphic would make more sense since home teams are commonly shown on the right side in most NFL media.

Man, I missed these videos. Glad to see you back at it Tree. Also, that new intro and the transitions between games looks really good! Can't wait to see what you'll do for clinches and eliminations this season.

Sportsball’s back, baby! Love the new intro and graphics. Can’t wait to see your MNF take.

This is an amazing upgrade in presentation at the start of the year. It's like Sportsball skipped the HD phase, and just jumped straight to 4K. I dare say shitposting reaching the professional level is a world I am honored to occupy. Keep up the thankless work.

Sweet production value, spot on commentary, and some Monty Python at the end… Fabulous!! Welcome back, Sportsball. O, how we’ve missed thee!

It's time for another great season of sports ball! Can't believe it's been 5 years since I started watching, but I'm glad to still be enjoying this madness

I look forward to this show as much as the NFL season.

Never have I been more excited to hear the return of “The culture… is actually damn good” ringing throughout the land. Football is back.

Been watching sportsball since 2019. You have no idea how good it is to hear you talk positively about my lions. 😂

Been here since the first sportsball season, truly doesn’t get any better than this. Please keep up the great work tree!

With This Week In Sportsball, week 1 In officially over. Plus, this new intro is so good!

Every year, the Sportsball presentations put me in mind of what I loved about about Chris Berman's rundown of the the game results. Great work, Tree

That intro left me in tears. My soul cries at the sacrifice Tree has to make

coming back to rewatch this whole series. I miss football, man

Teutoburg Forest battle reference is very Dennis Miller-esque!!! Proud of you TREE for keeping Pittsburgh dark humor with intelligent references alive.

I was looking for this today, wondering if it would come out before the start of Week 2. You delivered.

So so happy to see these again! Love the work you put into these and appreciate you a ton man, you give me a lotta laughs!

When the NFL Sportsball videos are back, you know it's a good day. I also love the improved production and transitions. Can't wait for the rest of this season.

I’m from the uk and stumbling across this mans content 4-5 years ago is the reason I love this sport now

Love this new format Tree, every year you improve in quality and these videos are one of the reasons I look forward to the next NFL season. Football is back, baby!!!

Tree, I've been waiting for this series all off season. One of my favorites on RU-vid. Here's to a fun season!

The nfl regular season and these recap vids r truly what keep me going so glad the season is back

Phenomenal new graphics, Tree. Looking forward to the season!

All year, we wait with anticipation, for the glorious return of Sportsball. This years start does not disappoint. Amazing production value!

This is completely unrelated to the video, but as a long-time fan of 7+ years you are still my favorite RU-vidr. Every time I see a this week in sportsball, I know that it'll make me laugh. Keep pumping out the bangers Tree!

A greatest game video is due and it’s only week one…damn, it’s good to be back!

So good to have this series back. It’s my easy way to keep up with all things NFL. Can be hard here in the UK to keep track of it all!

The new intro is gorgeous, and I’m so glad “it’s a beautiful night in Cincinnati” made it in. Cheers to another season of Sportsball!

These are always so great. Is that the Rome Total War music in there? First time I've noticed if it's not the first time you've included it, I love it! Coupled with the Teutoburg Forest reference :D :D

Burro being shredded by a d-line in mithril armor is an image I didn't know I needed but I am absolutely all here for it!

I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a video. Been watching this series for years.

Been waiting a long time for that beautiful “the culture” sound bite! So glad these vids are back! Keep em coming Tree

First time I'll be able to watch Sportsball starting with Week 1 after discovering you in Week 14 last year. So excited!

Bring Out Your Dead! 😂😂😂😂Brilliant Tree. I love the new sports ball format. Looks awesome.

I cracked up at "Every JV football coach ever having flashbacks"

Tree, thank u for making the football season even more awesome with these videos!

The continous improvement every year deserves more praise than I can give you

I love these stadiums style graphics. I would love to see similar versions in NHL and MLB hater's guides

Never thought Id hear the ROME Total War soundtrack on this channel but loving it!!

“Church bell do your thing” had me laughing

That kadarius Toney line at the tail end slayed me

Every year you get better & better man! Helluva video!. When NFL Sportsball returns, you know the NFL season is officially here..

The graphic quality for this year is insane!

im gonna shed tears of joy the ultimate sports series has returned: SPORTBALLLLLLLL

7:38 The way he just thru that ball in the crowd

Tree making the intro better and better always makes me smile. Football is so back baby.

The Season can officially begin with the return of some Sportsball. I’ve missed this so much

Ah the return of sportball. The best time of year is back!

“The culture is actually damn good” please, yet again, never omit that from the intro. It’s so good every time I hear it - Washington fan

Well Tree, after three years of watching This Week in Sportsball, I was finally convinced to start my own sports recap style video series, based around my Fantasy Football league. (It's an homage, not a replication, I promise.) Even though it's more about the player match ups versus the games themselves, I have 6 match ups to cover (12 team snake draft league), plus the Thursday night game as it's own segment unrelated to the Fantasy element of the video. Having dove head in after week one wrapped up, I can honestly say you make Sportsball look easy. You have even more respect from me, and hopefully the people in my league will be cool with me posting the video publicly once i complete it.

That new transition for the matchups and such is very clean! Also, I feel like this was grounds for Days of Our Steelers, but not this soon?

I have never anticipated a wednesday night like I have today, god bless Utree.

I've been waiting a Long Time for this 🍿🍿🍿🍿 As a Jets and Giants fan this was a brutal week

17:54 ‐ _"...dude covered as well as tattered loin cloth!"_ Idk🤷‍♂️ why _THAT_ one insult made me laugh😁 so much hahaha😆😄😂

As a Colts fan I can confidently say that despite the loss I am actually excited for this season, having zero expectations is great

WE MISSED YOU TREE 😢 the glorious sportsball has returned!

Missed this. Awesome Intro and now the season has started.

17:13 I love that they're still being called san diego after all this time, lol

BRING OUT YAH DEAD 🤣🤣 One of the most elite nfl RU-vidrs around. Love ya tree

You know the week is finally capped up when UriTree posts Sportsball. It’s good to be back baby

I wasn’t one of the people that was saying the bears were going to go from worst to first and fields was going to be an mvp.. but I did think we would see an improved team. Matt Eberflus and Luke getsy’s jobs are on life support. How do you look worse than you did last year with more talent on the team? That is a coaching problem. If this loss was to any other team it would’ve been a little easier to accept. I would’ve almost been ok with it but I’m tired of losing to the fucking Packers.. this was the chance to flip the script and they completely fucked it up. Justin fields is still running for his life all the time and the defense can’t stop the run and has absolutely no pass rush and Eberflus is supposed to be a defensive guy. Shit better change fast
