Peyton Manning: Lord of the Dance

In the midst of all the Super Bowl hype throughout the last two weeks, this video was shown on Sportscenter and then put on the internet (I found it courtesy of With Leather). Peyton can not be very happy about this...



Also, according to the YouTube poster, you can see Eli Manning in the background as a fairy. I don't see it, but maybe you can.
Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice better watch their backs.

AJ Daulerio Is The Balls

Or at least that is what he and Deadspin would have us believe and I'm falling for it. Deadspin.com is a phenomenal sports blog/site that is a staple of my everyday existence and it has replaced ESPN.com, foxsports.com, etc. in my mind.

AJ Daulerio is their Super Bowl correspondent for the week and his 'reports' have been just amazing thus far. They have basically nothing to do with the game but instead he focuses on the nightlife and what happens with the ESPN anchors and analysts when they're let loose on the town. We already know what Sean Salisbury does in his free time and it's just hysterical to see these things documented. I highly suggest going to Deadspin and reading its amazingness daily or just read the Super Bowl reports by Daulerio if that's what you're into.

Deadspin

By the way, that is AJ Daulerio and Sean Salisbury and let me tell you, that picture is definitely inspiring me to grow a nice mustache...

Dick Vitale Has Trouble Staying On Topic...

If anyone is merely a casual fan of college basketball or watches ESPN during the winter months, they are bound to see Dick Vitale in all his yelping, hyperactive, Duke loving glory. And if you are familar with him there are probably a few things you associate him with: His sayings of "yeah baby!" and calling people "diaper dandies", his love for Duke, and his tendency to drift away from the topic at hand.
Courtesy of Deadspin, I came across this site that kept track of all the things that Dickie V. talked about during the Louisville/Connecticut game that had absolutely nothing to do with the game he was broadcasting at the time. They came up with 156 items. Let's say it was an average 2 hour game, that means he is going off topic more than once a minute! Here are some things he talked about...

1. Duke
2. Mike Krzykewski
3. Duke's 1986 Team
22. N.C. State women's team
45. Frank Sinatra
47. Lou Carnesecca
69. Tom Brady
74. Mario Boggan
142. Fran Franschilla

How on earth did these things get brought up? There is absolutely no way Frank Sinatra or Fran Franschilla were in any way relevant to the game at hand is there? Were they playing word association on the air or what? Wow, he's entering Tim Jamison territory.
