The marathon features America's true sports hero Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), with fan-favorite football-themed episodes from the series including "Tramp Stamp" and "Monday Night Football." The "Barney Bowl" will be brought to viewers by Little Caesars Pizza. During the all-day marathon escapades of the How I Met Your Mother gang, fans can follow Barney as he not only suits up, but keeps viewers up-to-speed on social media with "Play-by-Play" hourly updates – all delivered with his trademark snark and charm.
