At 97, Betty White’s latest role is to promote the premiere of the NFL’s 100th season.

Every time. It gets us every time Betty White starts trending on Twitter.

Why is it we always think the worst? We should allow ourselves to consider that our favorite “Golden Girl” is just doing something incredible. Again.

And this time, she is.

At the ripe young age of 97, White is leading the NFL’s latest promo for the season kickoff on Sept. 5 between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers, which will air on NBC.

The promo opens with Al Michaels saying how he can’t see how anyone could relate to 100 years of the NFL.

Enter, White — or should we say, B-Dawg.

“One hundred years of NFL history,” White says in the promo. “The Packers and the Bears. There’s only one thing more badass than this year’s kickoff. And you’re looking at her.”

We couldn’t agree more, B-Dawg!
