The Oscars are tonight which means I have to put in a couple of token movie links. But the good news about the Oscars is that Penelope Cruz is there and nominated for an award.
Tecmo Bowl is back! I need this game in my life. (LA Times) If anyone at Tecmo is reading this, I’d love to review this one against the original Tecmo Bowl… Assuming that I can get my old NES working.
In honour of last night’s Razzies and tonight’s Oscars, it’s a look at the ten worst sports movies of all-time. (Sports Pickle) Hey! I liked #10 as a kid! Especially the soundtrack. The Band’s Stuff You Gotta Watch is on my iPod. Now if I can find it.
And while I’m talking movies here’s a look at 20 of the weirdest ratings rulings handed down by the MPAA. No, I’m not talking about the original X rating for Zack & Miri Make A Porno. (Gunaxin)
After the jump, armed robbers go all in, a couple a wrestling links, and Jesus hates Klingons.
We like to consider ourselves here as ambitious but rubbish. In Berlin, folks are ambitious but successful. A group of armed robbers stormed a European Poker Tour event that was on live TV and stole $1 Million. (SB Nation)
Just what the world needs: A sports story that mentions the Nazis. God forbid that Canadians act patriotic without going all jingo on your Manifest Destiny loving ass. (Deadspin)

A while back, we mentioned that ex-WWE CEO Linda McMahon will be running for a seat in the US Senate. Well, she might not be the only one that might be cut out for politics. (Pyle of List)
With NFL free agency kicking off, it’s a good time to remember that professional athletes are really hard done by financially. (FiLife)
There isn’t a lot to cheer about in Cleveland but they can be happy about this. Cavs fans set a record for the largest gathering of people in fleece blanket when they all wore Snuggies at the game. (Ball Don’t Lie) Too bad that won’t help them keep LeBron.
Have you seen Sidney Crosby’s stick? It could be worth $10,000 from Reebok. And probably deportation from the country when they find out who took it. (Puck Daddy)
Big news for old school wrestling fans: A school in Milton, Ontario, is being named after Canadian wrestling legend Tiger Jeet Singh. If the students get out of line, teachers will whack them with a sword. (Deadspin)
Strikeforce is about to learn that the last person you want to cross is Dana White. (Cage Potato)
Coming soon to a futuristic society near you: Touch-screen computing on your arm. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie that can only go catastrophically wrong. (Toronto Star)
We have a video gallery for you today. It’s a look at all sorts of ridiculous mistakes that have been made in movies. Don’t watch them if you don’t want to turn into those dudes that send ridiculously nit-picky things into IMDB. (Unreality)
But never fear. We also have a photo gallery today. It’s a look at 25 of the greatest creations ever made with beer cans. (Holy Taco)
The only thing funnier than something intentionally funny is something unintentionally hilarious. That’s what I assume that this God awful religious spoof of Star Trek is supposed to be. Even if it was supposed to be funny and an homage, it’s hilariously bad.
