Howard Stern’s new intern: New York Giant Antonio Pierce!

From the awesome files: Howard Stern‘s new intern, at least for the rest of this week, is New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce.

Antonio is apparently interested in broadcasting, and much like hockey player Sean Avery hooking up an internship at Vogue magazine, he reached out to the Stern show to see if he could help out.

Listen to the single and read all the lyrics after the jump. Rumor is the song is a jab at Interscope’s insistence Weezer have a more “commercial” sound:
