From the Bowels of YouTube: We Miss Football

If you’re like me, you’ve certainly experienced a “YouTube loop” – that is to say, a time when you find yourself on YouTube for much longer than you’d planned, having clicked on video after video, and wondering, “How did I get here?”. This is our weekly segment where we share some of our favorite sports highlights that you may not have seen (or haven’t in a very long time). Feel free to share your favorites in the comments or tweet us and we’ll consider them for next week. Check back every week for the latest edition.

It’s March already, and Spring is on the way. College basketball is in full swing, opening day is right around the corner, and although we’re in the midst of free agency and the draft is coming up, we’re still almost six months away from meaningful football action. We miss it, and have decided to make our beloved football the subject of this week’s FTBOYT post. These two clips will remind you why we love football:

Scott Van Pelt Drops an F-Bomb [Video]

2.25.10 11:09 pm by Alex
It’s been a rough week for SVP. First, he gets duped by a Howard Stern listener pretending to be Brian Westbrook, and now he drops everyones favorite profanity before going to a commercial break tonight on SportsCenter. Been a long few days for him, but there’s a good chance he’ll be getting an impromptu weekend off. Obviously, be careful what company you’re in if you play this aloud.
