Wii Tennis: Conan vs. Serena
We've written before about how cool Wii in action can be, but this Conan O'Brien clip takes it to the next level by pitting amateur against professional -- and showing what happens when things like training, talent, strength, and speed don't really matter.
On this evened-out playing field, a Wii Sports match-up between Serena Williams and Conan is surprisingly close (we won't reveal the victor in order to preserve some pretense of suspense). The real winner, of course, is Nintendo, whose pursuit of world domination grows easier by the day. But a close runner-up is America -- after all, nothing is better than the pale lanky thighs of an Irishman. Especially when framed by the whitest of short-shorts and the blackest of socks.

Emmitt Smith Wins Dancing with the Stars
Last night in the Dancing with the Stars Season Finale, NFL legend Emmitt Smith beat former Saved by the Bell star, Mario Lopez.
With both competitors achieving a perfect ten for two consecutive dances on Tuesday Night, the nation was torn-- forced to vote and take sides between sitcom star AC Slater and the three-time Super Bowl champion who holds the world's all-time rushing record.
“He ‘s the cutest thing and just puts you in a good mood,” said on TDR staffer about her dance crush Emmitt.
It has always been rumored that some football players practice ballet to
become more agile and in control, but no one could have guessed that
the former Dallas Cowboy superstar could freestyle and be this good at
it.
Over the course of the Dancing season, the nation has fallen in love with the Pro sweetheart all over again. A family man whose wife and kids come to support him off the field and on the dance floor, Emmitt’s personality and chemistry with his dance partner made him the Viewer’s choice.
Emmitt Smith, Congrats! I must admit you’ve got “moves that (we) have never seen” and America loves it.
