A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN: KORDELL STEWART AND THE UFL



Before your heart skips a beat, don't worry - there is no football comeback in the works (unlike in 2008, when he insisted he wasn't retired). But former Steeler QB does have a gig with the new league as a broadcaster on their Versus Network-televised games this season.

The man we loved to love and later loved to hate will be teamed in a booth with former NCAA/CFL/NFL star Doug Flutie, with Dave Sims of ESPN Plus fame doing play-by-play and Anita Marks of 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore in the Erin Andrews role. According to her Wikipedia page, Marks already appeared in Playboy in 2002, so internet pervs won't have to wait for a peephole video to surface on this sideline reporter.



Stewart, now based out of Atlanta and married with a five-year-old son, has been seen on ESPN from time-to-time on college and pro football detail. I was trying to find some recent video clips to round out the post (here's one where Kordell talks about Mike Vick's return), but I stumbled upon this vintage Kordell appearance where he gets slimed on Nickelodeon's Figure it Out, and it's much more interesting.
