Three months ago, New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce recorded 11 tackles in a 20-17 Superbowl victory over the New England Patriots.

Today, he was tackling coffee and receptionist duties for Howard Stern.

Say whaaaa?

Turns out that Pierce accepted an intern role with Stern, the highly-successful host of his eponymous Sirius Satellite Radio show. Pierce – who wants to go into broadcasting once his playing days are over – took the opportunity to "learn the biz" in one of the harshest radio environments on the airwaves.

The Super Bowl champion was subjected to Stern hijinks, answering questions about his sex life and the NFL lifestyle.

Pierce spent the morning answering phones, getting hazed by Stern staff veterans via prank calls, directing Stern's TV show, critiquing the throwing motion of members on the staff and towel-whipping those who pranked him earlier in the morning.

While the internship might not go much longer – Pierce's gig was only supposed to last a day, but Stern did repeatedly say how impressed he was with him – you can follow all of his exploits this NFL season in the Bodog Sportsbook.

According to this thread on 2+2, radio shock jock Howard Stern was heard on his radio show talking about how he heard that the Borgata in Atlantic City has a really nice poker room.

His sidekick, Artie Lange, agreed with him and said that they should head down to AC one weekend to hit up the poker room. An avid chess player, Stern's interest in games of strategy and skill apparently extends to $10/$20 No Limit Holdem cash games at the casino.

One would think that a guy who was paid a reported $302 million by Sirius for his services would play at higher levels, but he has gone on record saying that he doesn't think that people should play limits outside of their comfort levels. Hey, look at this, even Stern gets bankroll management.

If you want to get a chance to play against a celebrity like Howard Stern at the Borgata, then it looks like he may be heading down there for some regular weekend poker games, so scrape together your pennies and get out there yourself.

If you want to head to AC for the next WPT event at the Borgata as part of Team Bodog, living the poker celebrity life, then head over to Bodog to qualify online for a WPT event.
