Stubby Clapp's Video Vault: Oh dear, this is almost too awkward to watch

Oprah, Oprah, Oprah! That thing on Drew Brees’ face is a birthmark! One would assume that Oprah Winfrey, before sitting down with Super Bowl XLIV MVP Drew Brees, would have been aware of his birthmark, or had been told that Drew Brees has a birthmark on the right side of his face, or at the very least, didn’t feel compelled to stand up and try wiping off what she believed to be a smudge on his face. But here it is, in all its embarrassing glory. This is absolutely cringe-worthy, but I’m sure in one way or another, Oprah will somehow be able to get over it. [The Sporting Blog]
After the jump, some crazy new invention called Sport Pong, some crazy Dodgeball game with 1,200 players (!) and some crazy guy destroying 29 TVs at a Wal-Mart. Crazy stuff.
It’s like classic Pong, only sportier. If you thought the game of Pong couldn’t be any more exciting, you obviously haven’t heard of Sport Pong yet. In the game, the Pong “paddles” are controlled by your feet as you try to sneak the ball past your opponents. This actually looks pretty fun, but do you know what would make it ever better? No really, do you? Because I think I could play this game as it is for hours and hours. [Deuce of Davenport]
Not one nerd’s nose was bloodied in the making of this video. Awesome. What you see above is a world record breaking game of Dodgeball featuring 1,200 participants at the University of Alberta. College students got it made, man. Enjoy it while you can, kids, because before you know it, you’ll be going to a crappy job every day where all you do is get paid for not doing your job because you are far too busy working on your sports blog. Actually, it isn’t that bad of a gig when I think about it. [Mouthpiece Sports]
Some guy smashing a bunch of televisions at a Wal-Mart? Why not? As Josh over at With Leather points out, this isn’t technically sports-related, but the guy does use a bat, so if that’s good enough for him, it is certainly good enough for me. I only wonder what set him off to begin with – my guess is the 104-year-old greeter they have working the front door snubbed him. I mean, how rude! [With Leather]
