In addition to politics and food, Gov. Ed Rendell has a third burning passion: Sports.

The Patriot News reports that Gov. Rendell is interested in becoming a sports commissioner.

Maybe you've heard Rendell breaking down the Philadelphia Eagles' offense or questioning coach Andy Reid's fourth-down decision-making as a regular on the "Eagles Post Game Live" show on Comcast.

Or maybe you saw Rendell at the Philadelphia Phillies' opening game Sunday. He likes to hang out at Citizens Bank Park with his friend and fellow Penn alum, Dave Montgomery, who happens to own the Phillies.

But when it comes to what the 45th governor of Pennsylvania wants to do after he's out of office in 2010, here's something maybe you haven't heard.

Rendell wants to be the next National Football League commissioner or commissioner of baseball.

So much for that wild rumor that Rendell might run for the U.S. Senate. And so much for the governor's proclamations about becoming a beach bum.
