If you tuned in last week for the game between the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs, you probably got a little Trek with your football. That night (Oct. 20), ABC's Monday Night Football opened on a hilarious minute-and-a-half segment with William Shatner doing a Star Trek parody that played off the name of the famous Raiders fan group, The Black Hole.

The broadcast opened unexpectedly on a very Trek-ish graphic of planets and galaxies, and we heard Shatner's classic opener, "Space..." He then continued in voice-over: "The date ... I'm not sure! Our mission — to seek out the source of a black hole. To boldly go where no man, no woman, no [Shatnerian pause] football player has gone before." We then saw a crowd of passionate face-painted Raiders fans, looking as bizarre as any group of intergalactic aliens, with Shatner among them maintaining his composure. "I should've know it was this Black Hole," he said on-screen. "I know black holes, this is no black hole!"

The segment continued with Shatner appearing at an empty Oakland Coliseum, speaking of "an ancient and honored rivalry ... one going back to the mid-20th century." He briefly talked about the comparable strengths of the Chiefs and the Raiders, interspersing Trek and space puns throughout and hamming it up in his trademark way. Then, back amongst "The Black Hole" of screaming fans, Shatner concluded, "This is no simulation. This is no training exercise. This is for real! This is where you have to answer the universal question: Why, Spock, why? No, no, not that question! This one: Are...you...ready...for...some...FOOTBALL?!"

No light escaped The Black Hole that night. Kansas City won the game.
