Denver Broncos quarterback and evangelical beefcake Tim Tebow was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, as Fallon aired his show from Indianapolis this week with a Super Bowl XLVI theme. It was inevitable that Fallon would ask him what he thought of his recent “Tebowie” character, which, of course, was a hilarious combination of David Bowie and Tim Tebow that Fallon used to sing a new version of Bowie’s “Space Oddity.” Last night, Tebow played along for humor’s sake and got a nice dig in on Fallon by questioning his pitch on the song. At least I think that’s what he said, because the crowd wouldn’t shut up.

Seriously, it sounded like Tebow was performing on Def Comedy Jam, but even more remarkable was the zeal with which Fallon asked his questions. I’m surprised he didn’t conduct the interview while sitting on his lap and brushing his hair. But the ridiculous love for Tebow aside, I couldn’t help but giggle with delight when Fallon asked Tebow to sign a Broncos jersey and then fire it into the crowd with a t-shirt gun. Somebody had to have stopped and said, “Hey, this might cause a riot.” And then everyone laughed.

And after the Tebow video I’ve included the best of Fallon’s “Late Night at the Super Bowl” because I don’t stay up that late and watch most of his stuff online when I wake up in the morning and take my Ovaltine. And please do yourself a favor and watch the Real Housewives of Late Night in Indianapolis. Dallas Clark in drag. It’s Emmy material.

Funny or Die has a knack for cramming as many celebrities as possible into three minute video, and today they’ve outdone themselves — watch in amazement has Ray Liotta, Kevin Costner, Dennis Haysbert, the Were-llama from Twilight and half of professional football bring you a Lockout-flavored sequel to the greatest baseball movie of all time, Field of Dreams. I’m guessing Haysbert is here because when the Funny or Die guys showed up at James Earl Jones’ apartment he attacked them with an insecticide sprayer and told them to go back to the sixties.

Watch the video below, but I have to warn you: the football players are all better actors than Taylor Lautner.

It’s weird, I know this is supposed to be a joke, but it still looks like a better movie than that remake of Footloose.

I love Kevin Costner at the end. He gives as little a sh** as possible, and he’s a good sport, but his voice and the look on his face say “I can’t believe you guys are making fun of this”. Lautner just stands there smirking, thinking about how awesome of a Crash Davis Robert Pattinson would be.

Somebody needs to explain to me why there’s an image of Brett Favre’s swollen ankle floating around the internet this week. And is that really Favre’s ankle? Sure, it’s colored nicely in Vikings purple, but that could be anybody’s ankle. Except Martina Hingis‘ ankle. Mmm, I would bite those ankles and then pee on her rug. You know, if I was a rottweiler.

And leave it to Favre’s ankle to try and steal attention away from that of Colts defensive lineman Dwight Freeney, whose ankle features enough ligament damage that he’s been listed as questionable in this weekend’s game…wait, there’s a game this weekend? I haven’t heard anything about this.

“Still day-to-day,” Freeney said Thursday at the Colts’ hotel. “Every time I wake up, I reassess the situation.”

But, he added, “it looks a lot more like an ankle now.” –The Huddle/USA Today

Freeney’s absence might be the keystone that allows the Saints to keep this game close. While the Colts are relatively strong in their linebacking and secondary play, a Freeney-less front four fancies to foul the franchise’s fickle fantasy of a second Super Bowl celebration. I don’t know why I just turned into Mother Goose there. I think I need more coffee. Pic via Sporting Blog.
