In fact, we clearly underestimated the guy.

You see, according to TMZ, Seacrest has more football experience than anyone could have realized.

To be filed in the Who Knew? category, Ryan actually played high school football for the Dunwoody High School Wildcats in Atlanta. Ryan, as a strong safety, took his team all the way to the AAAA State Championship. Tackled by Seacrest— good times!

If this is true ... we bet Seacrest's old football buddies make fun of him a lot these days. Just saying.

The Super Bowl Gets More SUPER [Deadspin]

But then again, you don't know who's hosting the pregame and halftime festivities for Fox at Super Bowl XLII.

That's right: Seacrest In!

Word on the street is, "Idol" ringmaster [Ryan Seacrest] will handle pre-game and halftime hosting duties of the Super Bowl on Fox next February. Because nothing says manly man like a guy with frosted highlights.

We see nothing wrong with this, frankly; heck, get this guy a typewriter, and he's practically Jay Mohr anyway. Get him ready for his own show! And, finally, NBC has a reason to hire him.
