The term "Cold Footage" can be applied to a multitude of people or objects. It's more of when you view something or witness something like with Merriman. His play was ferocious his attitude towards Manning was Cold and you seen it. "Cold Footage"
It can also be used on Cars, Women, Trucks, Planes, etc
Examples:
You see a Dodge Magnum pass by sitting on 24's (Rims), tinted windows, booming sound, and you like how it looks. You can say
"Crikey, Cold Footage right there"
Or I'll use me as an Example I might be Bickin Back with the Clique and we see a woman off in the distance. Me and my crew can spot women from far away we have that skill. She has a bangin body hips, thick thighs, nice mammories lol, and a phat booty mad dips (curves) I might say
"Dayuuuum Cold Footage right there Boy, Straight cold footage"
If you are an airplane enthusiast and you went to the Paris Airshow like in the late 80's 86-88 and you saw the Su-27 do a Pugachev Cobra you would've said "OMG Look at that, did you see that? Man that was some Cold Footage"
Man basically it's when you see something thats looks good, plays good, etc you get the picture.
