Two years ago, Yao starred in a Visa ad that also featured Yogi Berra. This time, his animated counterpart will have a role in "Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass," an episode of The Simpsons that will follow the Patriots-Eagles game on Fox on Feb. 6.
The cartoon Yao joins Warren Sapp, Tom Brady, LeBron James and Michelle Kwan at Homer Simpson's Show Boating Academy, where Homer helps them choreograph their respective victory dances. ========================
Homer teaches Yao, LeBron, Tom Brady and Michelle Kwan how to do victory dances? That's got "classic" written all over it.

The "Everyone Sucks But Me" bike was great. Didn't quite make up for TO not getting in the end zone tonight (I was betting on 'picks up a cell phone from under the goal post and calls Ray Lewis' myself), but it was something.
More Simpsons-n'-sports than you or your grandfather could handle. :-)
Star wipe, and...we're out. Thrillin' ain't easy.

Showing the Knicks faithful that the organization is serious about bringing this decrepit franchise to a semblance of respectability isn't an easy thing.
