• Several actors from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation answered the Philadelphia Inquirer's question: "Who do you like in the Super Bowl?" Liz Vassey (Wendy Simms), replied, "Men in football pants." Wallace Langham (David Hodges) said he isn't into the sport. "I don't care at all about football," he explained. "I go to my friend's house and make fun of whoever's playing at the halftime show." Costar Paul Guilfoyle (Jim Brass), however, gave a serious answer. "The Philadelphia Eagles," he said. "I like them to go all the way. They're a little bit like our show. Kind of a wise guy in charge, Donovan McNabb, and a bunch of hard workers."

• DJ Elliott's role as the assistant wrestling coach in this week's episode of New York, "Rush to Judgment", was his first major network gig. He was excited:

They can critique your role and see that you handled the work, you were professional and maybe next time they have a part you might get a chance to read for a part. I'm hoping this leads to some other things.
