Aaron Rodgers...Quarterback's insightful interview on Letterman! Fans wowed!

Hunky Rodgers scores big at the Superbowl!



That was quite an interview with Aaron Rodgers last night on Letterman.

When the strapping quarterback stepped out from behind the curtain there was deafening thunderous applause from ecstatic fans on-hand in the bleachers.

Dave thanked the Packer's MVP (Most Valuable Player) for stopping by - at which point - the handsome athlete sheepishly fessed up that he often watched the Late Show.

After a bit of gushing (unusual for the toothy talk-show host) Letterman dove in and struck up a pretty insightful dialogue with the gridiron hero.

After noting Rodger's humble beginnings (he was attending a community college when he caught the eye of a talent scout) Dave put a probing question to the seasoned pro about his physique (after he confided he was a spindly 6' 2 player - weighing in at 190 lbs. - once overlooked by the big leagues).

How much are you packing now," Dave quizzed.

Rodgers hesitated - a bit embarrassed about the focus on all the pointed body-talk? - then blurted out proudly that he now weighed in at 230 lbs of beefy muscle.

A roar of approval rippled beyond the footlights at the Ed Sullivan Theatre.

Actually, when it came to tooting his horn, the handsome athlete was a bit slow on-the-uptake.

I expect that it's because he's a seasoned pro with a down-to-earth attitude.

According to Rodgers, it was confidence - and not ego - that fueled the ball-player's drive on to victory and the Super Bowl Championship this past Sunday in Texas.

"Yeah, the adrenalin was high at first. Then, I settled in, and it was just a regular game," Rodgers shrugged in so many words.

At this juncture - Letterman whipped out the dazzling belt Rodgers earned at the action-packed game for his prowess at the stadium - one which proved to be a ratings bonanza for the network (11 million viewers tuned in).

As Rodger's started to reach for the spinning centrepiece, Letterman teased him a tad.

"You like playing with that thing, don't 'ya?"

A broad smile crossed Rodger's face.

Oh boy, what a cutie!

"Yes. Fans like this stuff. You've got to give 'em what they want."

In addition to the belt, the accolades, and new product endorsements (did you catch him promoting Disneyland this morning on Channel 4?) the hunky stud also nabbed a spanking new red Camaro for his agile efforts on the field.

I expect he'll be appearing on the cover of PEOPLE, TIME - and, who knows - maybe even Details or GQ?

Can Calvin Klein or Giorgio Armani be far behind?

Twitter...take a hike says Boise State Football coach! What a twit...

 

Twit @ Boise State causes tweeters to titter!

Obviously, a grid iron enthusiast strapped on his jock strap too tight.

Why else would the blood be restricted from flowing to his brain?

Say what?

You figure it out.

The Idaho Statesman has reported that the Boise State coach - Chris Petersen - banned players from posting on Twitter for the duration of the football season.

Why, pray tell, did the Twitter craze  incur his wrath?

According to Petersen, posting on the social networking hub, is a distraction the team doesn't need.

My knee-jerk reaction?

What a twit!

A competent coach - with an ounce or two of football savvy - is what they truly need.

And, a lift on the ban, San Francisco-style!

David Letterman...Drew Brees Super Bowl champion guests tonight! Sports illustrated swimsuit edition...

Tonight, Drew Brees, appears as a guest on Dave Letterman fresh off of the gridiron from his glorious victory at the Super Bowl yesterday @ the Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens (Florida)

The agile athlete - with movie star looks - will take a comfy seat next to Oscar-nominated Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) who will also be appearing on the heels of her Oscar nomination.

Although Brees will undoubtedly be the big attention-getter for the most part, a posse of hot-blooded studs will obviously channel surf over to CBS tonight to catch the unveiling of the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.

Hot nightime bill of fare, Dave!

I expect the ratings will go through the roof and the competition will be licking their wounds at the crack of dawn tomorrow morning..
 
Later!
 

Sandra Bullock in swim of things!

 

Brett Favre shocks fans & NFL. Retires from football...again!

When I flipped on ESPN for all-the-world it appeared there was an obituary underway!

Clips of a professional athlete's illustrious 18-year career on the gridiron, a run of impressive stats sure to make any young all-star football wanna-bee cream his jockstrap, and a few teary-eyed moments when pent-up emotions were inclined to slip to the surface unexpectedly and speak volumes about the man.

Of course, all the airwaves were awash with the news, too.

Brett Favre plucked up his cell bright and early this morning and informed the managers and owners of the Jets that he was quitting football - again!

The news media breathed a sigh of relief!

Maybe the mercurial Favre finally meant it?

"He's fooled us so many times," one reporter chortled.

But, many are tittering that this is surely the end to a brilliant stretch on the field, at long last.

Of course, there is the issue of Favre's age.

Off-season, a player needs time to recover from injuries.

With the older dudes, well, the process takes longer.

Has Favre been struggling to meet the challenge?

Maybe that's where performance-enhancing drugs come into play for a handful of desperate athletes?

"For an older football-player, it's tough," one commentator opined.

After all, football - sports enthusiasts lament - is a year-round game.

Yeah, the players may have a few weeks off, but they're back on the field shortly thereafter interacting with their team-mates, getting all-primed-up and ready to charge forward in the upcoming season.

"It's all about timing and chemistry. If the quarterback isn't going to show off-season for the practices, it's bad for the morale of the team."

Some speculated that coaches, managers, and team owners weren't going to afford major players such luxuries in the future.

As to Favre's retirement, does the pro stud mean it this time?

Insiders speculate that this is definitely the closing chapter of an exciting football career - fraught with highs and lows - but one that assures Favre a memorable place in the prestigious annals of Football History.

According to Wikipedia

Favre was the first player to win the AP MVP three times (1995–97) in NFL history, and led the Packers to seven division championships in 1995, 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003, and 2007, four NFC Championship Games in 1995, 1996, 1997, and 2007, two NFC Championships (1996 and 1997) , and one Super Bowl Championship (XXXI).

He holds a number of NFL records including: most career touchdown passes (464), most career passing yards (65,127), most career pass completions (5,720), most career pass attempts (9,280), most career interceptions thrown (310), most consecutive starts among NFL quarterbacks (269; 291 total starts including playoffs), and most career victories as a starting quarterback (169).

The handsome jock wasn't any slouch on the field, that's for sure.

One sportscaster enthused:

"He played hard, won championships, and gave it his all."

What now for Favre?

Another comeback (didn't think I'd really flake out, did 'ya dudes?), endorsements - just maybe - sports-casting duties?

It's written in the wind that flew beneath his cleats!
