On the list of entertaining moves by a network, The NFL Network's decision to pursue Ryan Leaf as an analyst for this year's NFL Draft is a rather brilliant one. We love this idea; bringing back old athletes to provide commentary at the site of their biggest failures/embarrassments.

Here's some suggestions we have for other ways to capitalize on this:

• Scott Norwood (or Dan Marino, for that matter) at the Super Bowl. • Chris Webber at the Final Four. • Mike Tyson on Earth. • Kobe Bryant at a hotel room, any hotel room.
