Your Depot After Dark for Oct. 19.
Pat Pete In The Booth
Patrick Peterson’s playing days are behind him but he’s still close to the game. Peterson was in the booth for Saturday’s college football game between Central Michigan and Bowling Green, hired as an analyst for CBS Sports earlier this season.
He shared this photo alongside announcers Dave Ryan and Adam Breneman. Based on his caption, Peterson seems to be enjoying the job.
Peterson was hired this year as one of several analysts in CBS’ college football announcer lineup. Other notable names include Robert Turbin, Randy Cross, Logan Ryan, and Kyle Long.
Central Michigan used 17 second quarter points to lead them to a 27-6 win over Bowling Green. A run-heavy offense, CMU attempted just five passes and ran the ball 46 times to victory to move to 4-3 on the season. The defense intercepted Bowling Green twice.
Polamalu Commercial
The Steelers’ website shared a behind-the-scenes look at Hall of Famer Troy Polamalu’s latest commercial for Head and Shoulders. The brief look showed Polamalu getting ready and spending time on set for the latest ad. While his hair is a little greyer than his playing days, it remains as iconic as ever.
Polamalu has served as a spokesman for Head and Shoulders dating back to 2008-2009. In 2010, his hair was insured for $1 million, the first-ever hair-related policy. So long as he isn’t near Larry Johnson again, his locks should be safe.
