Vernon Davis was named an honorary captain of the U.S. Curling Team for the 2010 Winter Olympics. First, I need to reveal that I have a secret obsession with Vernon Davis because he is a freak of nature. The guy is an absolute physical specimen. I could live in the gym for the rest of my life and not look like this dude. Vernon has a nice little winter ahead of him. First, he goes to the Pro Bowl then the Olympics. He’s finally starting to realize his potential.

For those of you who have no idea what Curling is……. here are some Curling Teams which make it easy to see why Davis is the likely choice

Davis is being used to promote the sport of Curling in the United States. And the head Curling honcho is thrilled about it…..

“We’re definitely honored to have someone of his talent stepping out of his normal space on the football field to help support the sport of curling,” Rick Patzke, USA Curling’s chief operating officer, said in a phone interview Thursday.“Everything I’m reading, his talent on the field speaks for itself, but it’s inspiring to see what he’s doing outside of football, giving back in all the causes he’s supporting – including curling.”

Vernon Davis is the guy. A sport that involves pushing a granite stone down ice, is using the physical specimen as their spokesman. Interesting. In other news, Tank Johnson is being used in Women’s Ice Hockey Advertisements.
