See my behind-the-scenes look at the taping of ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," with my boys Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon, plus video footage of Rachael Ray and Adrian Peterson at their Twin Cities signing events.

Kornheiser, a Washington Post columnist like Wilbon, didn't seem to understand why I had a video camera. Wilbon gave me a little what-for about this too.

Take a good look at Wilbon's eyes when he is trashing our perfectly acceptable Dome. Mikey's got beautiful eyes. And -- just so you don't get the wrong impression -- a wife!

There is also video of my quick Tuesday interview with Ray before she signed books at Borders on Block E. Bookstore employees said that while fans had to wait a bit at Borders at least they could get wristbands. At Ray's appearance at the Mall of America on Tuesday, wristbands went in less than one hour.

Ray told me she's not worried about overexposure; she puts her name on products she likes and creates.

In the video I'm making a joke when I suggest that Hayden Botterman is covering his ears because he's doesn't like Ray's overworking her trademake expressions. In truth, he was just a little overwhelmed by the scene, as Hayden's mom said he loves to watch Rachael on TV.

You'll also see that I shoot a little footage of her wedding rings. I didn't ask how the marriage was because she's got to be sick and tired of people asking and speculating about that.

Ray is smoking hot, I realized after being near her presence. No wonder guys get excited when she says "Ummm" on TV. Now I understand why she never seemed to have trouble playfully picking up guys on "$40 a Day."

And last but not least, there's video of Peterson's Fathead signing at Dick's in Minnetonka.

Hear the Vikings running back laugh when advised on how not to be like teammate Dwight Smith, who's allegedly smoking hot in a way different from Ray.
