NBCSN’s “Men In Blazers” co-hosts Roger Bennett and Michael Davies appeared on NBC’s “Late Night With Seth Meyers” to discuss Americans' growing fondness for "football" ("Late Night With Seth Meyers," NBC, 1/6).
NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said, “(President Obama) said athletes need to start speaking out more on important issues and it seems like many of them are actually taking his advice. Like for instance, when he was asked about the U.S. renewing relations with Cuba, Angels outfielder Mike Trout said, ‘We’ve got to get out there and give it our best. Gotta give 110 percent and just take it one game at a time.’ When asked about the recent Sony hack involving North Korea, Heat forward Chris Bosh said, ‘We just gotta give 110 percent. All we can do is take it one game at a time and get out there and give it our best.’ And finally when he was asked about the White House imposing sanctions on Russia, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said, ‘We just gotta give 110 percent. All we can do is use 110 percent of each game to give 110 percent to our best 110 percent’” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 1/6).
CBS’ David Letterman said, “The holidays are over and the jolly fat man is gone. I’m talking about Rex Ryan, coach of the Jets. … Any Knicks fans here? They have a wonderful promotion. Any person attending a Knicks game that can sink a shot from half court gets to start. … We have new Baseball Hall of Fame guys going in. The Baseball Hall of Fame, that’s fantastic, one of two great honors if you’re a baseball player. Getting elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, that’s No. 1. Owning a mediocre steakhouse, that’s No. 2” (“Late Show,” CBS, 1/6).
