The crossover between “American Idol” and football fans is apparently marginal at best.
“Idol” host Ryan Seacrest learned that the hard way when he announced the start of the NFL season Thursday night.
Working the NFL season opener! Finally those 2-a-days paid off. I hope my high school coach is watching. #Kickoff2013

He may have changed his mind about his coach watching, because when Seacrest was announced to the crowd at the Denver Broncos’ Sports Authority Field, the boo-birds came out in droves.
The catcalls did not abate. But Seacrest, the consummate pro, was unbowed.
“So come on Denver, let’s join these football greats — representing all 32 teams — and ring in the NFL season!” he yelled. “Here we go!”
Ryan Seacrest getting booed … Great way to kick off the season.
