Wednesday Link-Off: Get Your Drink On

It’s St. Patty’s Day so go out and get drunk on green beer (and assorted other green drinks). Maybe you’ll drink so much that you’ll convince yourself to see Alice Eve in that new movie with the small advertising budget.

Mike Tyson is building off his recently rediscovered popularity from The Hangover and will try his hand at TV. Except he won’t be acting. He’ll be the host of a reality TV show about pigeon racing. (Bad Left Hook)

It’s a sad day in the world of insane/extreme sports. The 183-year-old British tradition of rolling a wheel of cheese down a hill and chasing it has been shelved because of concern about neighbouring people’s fences. In other words, it costs too much to patch these lunatics up. Such a nanny state… (Deadspin)

You may not have heard but Greece is in the midst of a small financial crisis. So what’s their solution? Not souvlaki sales but selling a new sex tape. (Daily Telegraph)

After the jump, March Madness links, ladies brackets, and Agassi vs. Sampras.

Did you know that you’re more likely to win the lottery twice than pick a perfect NCAA tournament bracket? (USA Today) So if I managed to pick better than 40 in 2007, does that mean I’m due for a big Lotto Max win?

So who’s gonna beat you in your tourney bracket this year? Well, there’s six types of people that could foil your plans. Look for me under #5. (RootZoo)

If basketball brackets aren’t your thing, perhaps you’d prefer Thunder Treats’ bracket of the 64 hottest celebrity cougars in the world. (Thunder Treats)

Or if cougars aren’t your thing, maybe you’d prefer Esquire’s 64-woman bracket to determine the sexiest woman in the world. Can’t be any worse than AskMen’s list. (Esquire)

If you’re looking for a new job, DePaul has the opportunity of a lifetime. You, Mr./Ms. Blog Reader, can apply to be the coach of their Division I men’s basketball team. (Tremendous Upside Potential)

In today’s “It’s Embarrassing to be Gary Bettman” moment, the NHL wasn’t among the four nominees for Professional Sports League of the Year. So much for being in the big four. (National Post)

Though it could be worse for Gary. He could be in charge of the KHL. They had a small problem with a fan the other day and it didn’t go well for a backup goalie. (Puck Daddy)

Good news! Coming soon to a driveway near you: JETPACKS! (Fox News)

I can’t link to a Fox News story without doing a little Beck/Hannity/O’Reilly bashing. Some staffers feel that the trio are undermining their actual journalistic work. (Washington Post)

To celebrate Tiger’s impending return to golf, today’s photo gallery is a look at some of Tiger’s mistresses with a poll where you pick the hottest one. (Lion’s Den U)

When two of tennis’ greatest rivals get together in a match for charity… Well, it ends both hilariously and awkwardly for everyone else.

Let’s close with some proper comedy. How about a Monty Python sketch that, for some reason, I can relate to.
