Antonio Pierce Interns on Howard Stern Show

Antonio Pierce is the latest New York pro athlete to snag an internship with a high-profile company. Just a couple of weeks after Sean Avery of the New York Rangers reportedly began a gig as intern with Vogue magazine, the New York Giants linebacker has signed on as an intern on The Howard Stern Show. It may seem an odd shift for a guy who was playing in, and winning, a Super Bowl ring a few months ago, but Pierce has expressed an interest in being in broadcasting after his playing career is over, so why not?

Newsday's Pet Rock blog says that Pierce had to field questions about his sex life and the NFL lifestyle, and did typical intern duties such as manning the phones, getting prank calls from Stern staff members, giving pointers on throwing a football, and "towel-whipping those who pranked him earlier in the morning."

Apparently this was just a one-day internship though... how much can a person learn in one day? Antonio Pierce apparently did well, and had good things to say about his three children and his fiancé, Jocelyn Pierce. The two are scheduled to wed later this month.

Giants in Super Bowl ... Where's Scott Norwood?

With the New York Giants in the Super Bowl this year, thoughts go back to the team's last triumph in the Big Game: their 20-19 win in 1991. As anyone who saw the game to sum it up in two words, and they'll probably say "Scott Norwood."

Norwood was the Buffalo Bills' place kicker, and with 8 seconds left in the game and the Giants up by one point, he had the chance to win the game for his team. But his 47-yard kick was wide right, and the name Scott Norwood went down in history with other would-be heroes who turned out to be goats, along with (for New Yorkers) Bill Buckner. Bucker was the Boston Red Sox first baseman who let a grounder roll between his legs in the World Series and enabled the Mets to get back in, and ultimately win, the 1986 baseball crown.

So with the Super Bowl coming up, I wonder... what's Scott Norwood up to these days?
