You're With Me, NBC

Holy cow. So you may have heard of the legendary "You're with me, Leather," supposedly a pickup line used by sports commentator Chris Berman to pick up a woman in a bar.

It's become an Internet meme of sorts, thanks in great part to repeated mentions on Deadspin.com. It's also slipped out into some media references -- my MSNBC colleague, Keith Olbermann, whom I love, used it, as did Tony Kornheiser and some others.

Anyway, now it's spread further into the NBC kingdom. It was actually written into a scene on NBC's "Las Vegas." Deadspin tells you how to watch the scene online here.
