The Sports Guy’s favorite YouTube video is a nine-minute clip from an episode of “Battle of the Network Stars” from the ’70s.
I’m not even going to post the video here, because watching it without Simmons’ commentary just doesn’t do it justice.

Donovan McNabb didn’t know that there were ties in the NFL.
McNabb has received a lot of criticism for not knowing the rule, but I distinctly remember after the Steelers-Falcons tie in 2002 that several players didn’t know about ties, either.
The real criticism here is that the NFL even has ties. I’m not saying the NFL should adopt the college football overtime system (although that would be fun), but at least play until somebody wins. Ties are ridiculous.
Lost in all of the hoopla surrounding the end of the Chargers-Steelers game was an interception that Troy Polamalu made in the first half.
This was absolutely amazing and I still don’t know how he got his fingers under the ball enough to snatch it out of the air:
Catch of the year!
It’s amazing how trends develop in football. For example: players leaping over each other. I’ve seen it so many times that I’m almost beginning to expect a running back or wide receiver to leap over a defender to gain an extra couple of yards.
Here’s the latest example of a player jumping over a defender as Beanie Wells does his Superman impression in leaping over an Illinois’ defensive back in the Buckeyes’ 30-20 victory last Saturday.
Love the music. And as long as defensive backs are going to keep trying to tackle players low, I think we’ll see more plays like this.
