Justice League Miniseries You (Sadly) Can't Miss

Literally. You can't miss it. I was reading Flashpoint: Deadman and the Flying Graysons and there it was. About half way through the book was a cover for Advertising Section: Justice League #1 of 4. Are you ready for a run down? There are spoilers ahead.
The cover has three big names of the DCU: Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), Batman and Superman above what I assumed was three fit fast food employees. The three guys have the name of a healthier than normal fast food establishment on their chest and one of them is doing a double fist pump. He is really excited.
As it turns out those guys are not fast good employees but American football players. They make a statement about the JL being in town as they will be the half time show. Yeah, some of the most powerful folks in the world will be doing a football halftime show. These football players are in Hawaii for some reason and decide to sneak out of work (playing football) to get some food. But where are they to go? They decide to go to the place that is on their t-shirts. Good thing they were wearing them.
As they chew their food and walk on a beach they notice Aquaman being handled by two frogment. Two of the football players want to help poor Aquaman while the third wants to eat his sandwich. The two guys (and eventually the third) go after the frogmen. Green Lantern gets involved and things settle down -- with the exception of Blank Manta stealing a sandwich sort of like the Hamburglar
The more superheros show up. I think Superman goes after Blank Manta and his sandwich while the Flash runs by for no reason at all. Wonder Woman shows up too to tie up the frogmen with her lasso ... which seems like a waste. Aquaman confides in Batman that he, King of Atlantis, shouldn't go swimming alone. Cue a football player and Green Lantern high five and a joke about making it back to work and we have the end of the issue. I guess #2 of 4 will start of answering the cliffhanger: Did the football players eat their food?
