If you have any suggested videos to fill this space, email us. Subject: Morning Video Wake Up Call.

People tend to remember "The Super Bowl Shuffle" with fond bemusement, but they often forget what the Bears hath wrought. Two decades of horribly misguided team songs, featuring poorly dressed athletes singing unenthusiastic versions of poorly conceived jingles. This one is simply embarrassing for all involved. No one even gets to brag about their funky dancing skills. I just feel bad for anyone who was forced to actually spend a Christmas in Dallas as a result of this disaster. Talk about false advertising ...

On the bright side, Danny White has a tremendous baritone.

Apparently, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's harmless "if it will get you out of here" to this man dressed in a red suit has resulted in this AP story making him out to be a joyless anti-Santa. It's purely coincidental Steelers announced that there will be no more visits from Santa during press conferences anymore soon after this, right? Tomlin's not that much of a hard-ass is he?

This is from this past weekend's New Orleans bowl, where Southern Miss receiver DeAndre Brown's leg just...stopped working. Brown is 6-6, 230 pounds of can't-miss NFL prospect. Amazingly, after successful surgery on Sunday night to repair the "clean break", he still might not miss anytime in 2009.

I'm going to take a wild guess and think that the Knicks probably don't want Starbury to become a supportive teammate right now. I wonder if forbidding him from attending any more games will be part of the buyout.

<![CDATA[Buzzer-Beaters Of The Gods ... Plus, Post-Game Microphone Carnage]]> Who hasn't dreamed at one time or another of doing this? The long 3 to win it ... ohhhhh! They're going crazy at the Carrier Dome! (Your fantasy may or may not include topless cheerleaders).

You may remember Cleveland State from such hits as the 1986 NCAA Tournament, where the 14th-seeded Vikings upset both No. 3 Indiana and St. Joseph. Cedric Jackson, a transfer from St. John's, carved out his own niche in school lore with this beauty; which was only his fourth field goal of the game, and first 3-pointer. Cleveland State wins over No. 11 Syracuse, 72-69.

The shot, with audio commentary.

"Normally, that shot is always just a mess-around shot," Jackson told ESPN afterwards. "You don't practice that at all."

I've never had much love for Jim Boeheim; when I coached, I used his game tapes as examples for my players of what not to do fundamentally. But it's hard not to have some sympathy here, as we see him struggling with the emotions of it all in the post-game presser. I once saw my coaching idol, Bud Presley, lose a JC state championship on a half-court prayer similar to Jackson's. Its no fun when you're on that side of it. And it was even less fun here for the poor unfortunate microphone, which felt Boeheim's ultimate wrath.

So here's the Sean Avery interview which originally aired on the TSN network yesterday morning. I do find it surprising that the league is actually suspending him. Doesn't the NHL need a little loose-lipped personality right now? Let's face it — the only way professional hockey makes national news is if Sean Avery says something ridiculous or a player's throat gets slashed. Sad, but true.

Here's the chopped up version of superagent Drew Rosenhaus yapping about Plaxico on MNF last night. It's amazing that when you eliminate all of Mike Tirico's questions from the video and just listen to him talk, he almost sounds more sensible. That's because the man does not deviate from the script, or move away from the point — there's no time to improvise or, you know, actually answer the questions. He knows how to spin the Plaxico incident from a dumbfounding act of stupidity into an averted tragedy. This could have been another Sean Taylor incident, you know...

Full set of questions available at Awful Announcing.

There's really no way to describe Sunday's hit by Ryan Clark on Wes Welker unless you're familiar with the Roadrunner cartoons. The one scene I'm thinking of is where a giant boulder is hurtling down toward the coyote, who only has time to open a tiny parasol before the inevitable impact. This may have been worse.

A flag was thrown on Clark due to Welker being in a "defenseless position." And suddenly the Lions have found a loophole in which they benefit on every play.

From the Steelers' point of view this may have been a worthwhile penalty; a statement that not only were they in control of the game, but that the Patriots Epoch may be at an end. Although that looks like a good way to get someone killed.

As bad as that was, this looks like it may have been worse

During yesterday's Thanksgiving massacre, White let the Lions know what he thinks about their gang-tackling technique after he carried three of them on his back: "Weak-ass N*ggas". I believe that's what Matt Millen called the Ford family after he was unceremoniously axed earlier this season. A nice job by Sparty & Friends for snagging this.
