Featured Highlight - "Saints Season" segment (from Divisional Round Saturday Ep.), 2006
Having now exhausted all the known songs from the early years of NFL Primetime, it's time to return to 2006 and the Purgatory Primetime era. The '06 New Orleans Saints were a big story. After the disaster that was their 2005 Hurricane Katrina season, where the team went 3-13 and was unable to play a single regular-season game at home in the Superdome, the Saints hired Sean Payton and grabbed QB Drew Brees from the Chargers. The result was a surprising 10-6 record, the third division title in franchise history, and a divisional-round win over the Eagles. This positive development was seen by many, and reported by many in the media, as a key healing event for the traumatized city of New Orleans. A brief clip near the end of the Saturday Division Round episode touched on this story, and it was accompanied by a never-before-heard (on Primetime) song called "Crash and Burn." Crash and Burn primarily features a ton of virtuostic guitar—or maybe electric violin—shredding and was composed by Mark Wood. Wood is primarily known for being (according to his website, which is linked above) the "Eddie Van Halen of the Violin World" and also played with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra for a time starting in 1999. He is also an accomplished string arranger and, in that capacity, worked with famous pop artists like Celine Dion.
Special thanks to GodzFire for ID'ing this song.
