The NFC Championship game wasn’t the most enthralling television for the average NFL fan, as the Atlanta Falcons dominated the Green Bay Packers from the start en route to a 42-14 victory.

So some folks watching the Fox broadcast decided to amuse themselves by pointing out a similarity in appearance between commentator Troy Aikman and rapper Jay Z.

Apparently this guy was the first to make the observation.

Then it took on a life of its own, with some people using photos to help prove the point.

Others stated their case in the form of rap.

And on and on it went.
