Are You Ready for Some Football ... With Ryan?

Posted Aug 16th 2007 12:03PM by TMZ Staff

Ryan SeacrestThe NFL and Ryan Seacrest go together like Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise.

Nonetheless, word on the street is, the "Idol" ringmaster will handle pre-game and halftime hosting duties of the Super Bowl on Fox next February. Because nothing says manly man like a guy with frosted highlights. Seacrest out!

No halftime act has been named yet, but Clay Aiken would fit the bill nicely, no?

UPDATE: To be filed in the Who Knew? category, Ryan actually played high school football for the Dunwoody High School Wildcats in Atlanta. Ryan, as a strong safety, took his team all the way to the AAAA State Championship. Tackled by Seacrest-- good times!

7. What the heck is wrong with the NFL? Seacrest's only interest in football is to imitate the quarterback so he can put his hands under the centers rear end. Go back to KIIS FM Ryan. The NFL has enough problems.

Cosell will send down a lightning bolt!

13. Actually Clay Aiken would be a great fit. That is the only reason I would watch! But I think he is too busy touring his sell out show right now not to mention his upcoming Christmas tour. He doesn't need the NFL. But thanks for mentioning it!

14. Well I certainly won't be watching Fox this year for football. How retarded.

15. Where are the racial slurs? Why aren't there more racial slurs on TMZ? Why only insulting comments about gays? We definitely need more racial insults and disparaging insinuations. Real men hate people of color too.
