VIDEO: LaDanian Tomlinson-Style Electric Glide
Ummm … wow. I have no idea why or where this bizarre new dance video from Ladanian Tomlinson came from, but … just wow. I’m speechless.
Seriously, this is the strangest thing I’ve seen in a long time. It’s like a freaky Electric Company video for kids, with the follow-the-bouncing-ball lyrics, 70’s-era special effects and of course, his motley crew of back-up dancers. Can someone explain what the hell is going on here?!?
UPDATE – Apparently this was filmed by Nike a few years ago as part of an LT marketing campaign. In this radio interview, Tomlinson reveals the origins of the LT Style Electric glide.

Dolphins continue to set new standards for awful fight songs
If only the Dolphins had enlisted Andy Samberg for this gig
It has been a busy off-season for the defending AFC East Champion Miami Dolphins. Not that they’ve done anything particularly notable to improve their football club, but owner Stephen Ross sure has been busy rubbing elbows with the South Florida music community!!!
First, Jimmy Buffett became a minority owner in the Dolphins and wrote a horrendous fight song for the team. Then, both Gloria Estefan and Marc Anthony purchased stakes in the franchise, ensuring that Miami had cornered the market on mediocre pop stars in the NFL.
Well, it appears the Dolphins weren’t satisfied there, and have now enlisted auto-tuning hip-hop sensation T-Pain to craft a new anthem for the club … and it’s even worse than you could have possibly imagined.
It’s like they didn’t even try. T-Pain just threw in an 1987 video game soundtrack on a loop and had his 3-yr old nephew write the lyrics.
This begs the question, though, has anyone consulted Bill Parcells in all of this?!? I mean, if Sundays in Miami are filled with this crap, followed by “Conga” and “Margaritaville” to psych out their opponents … I don’t suspect Landshark Stadium is going to be an intimidating place for rival teams to play.
Unless they are worried that the rhythm is, in fact, gonna get them. In that case, they should be afraid. Very afraid.
