Peyton Manning Kind Of Awkward In A Public Setting
Let's all get together and laugh at a famous person acting like a real human being! To be fair, it's not really Peyton's fault.

Hugh: Musberger Doesn't Trust Your Concept Of 'Interesting'
So Brent Musberger tells me, right after Texas runs back a kickoff for a touchdown, "Pull up a chair, folks. This one's gonna get real interesting."

Prop Odds On Sarah Palin's Puck Dropping Skills
I think what I admire most about America — after our vast interstate highway system and the existence of fried elephant ears — is that you can literally bet on anything.
