Saturday Link-Off: The Backup Plan

Don’t adjust your screens. I’m filling in on a Saturday. To make up for the lack of Jackie, here’s Alice Eve who might actually put the “sex” in Sex and the City.

Ozzie Guillen is my favourite baseball manager. Not only does he say what he thinks but he’ll write what he wants to fans. (Deadspin)

Think what you will about Barack Obama, there’s one think that Dubya did better: Golfing. So what’s it like hitting the links with the former first golfer? (Wei Under Par)

The Apple iPad came out around the world yesterday. Still not convinced that you should buy one? Here’s some reason you should pick one up… Assuming they’re not already all sold out. (Daily Telegraph)

After the jump, a UFC 114 preview, Sex and the City bashing, and the world’s most infamous pork chop.

Since I’m always on the early Sunday assignment, I don’t have much of an opportunity to talk UFC. Well, tonight is UFC 114 and here’s a preview of the card. (The Big Lead)

Chris Berman just got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One sports fan turned it into an epic shrine to one of Boomer’s legendary moments. (Black & Gold Tchotchkes)

We’re just a couple of weeks from the World Cup and lineups are slowly being announced. But what would Team USA look like if they picked the best athletes in the country instead of just soccer players? (SB Nation)

The NBA hasn’t met a thing they couldn’t license some logos onto. For example, you can now find NBA team logos on pizza. (Slanch Report)

Greatest t-shirt ever? (IGN)

Ben Johnson is a very divisive character. Well, it’s basically Ben vs. the World. He still thinks that he was framed/sabotaged at the Seoul Olympics. Apparently, he has proof now. (CBC)

In today’s first photo gallery, kids answer with the darndest things. It’s a collection of the best answers from tests and exams. (Lion’s Den U)

In honour of Sex and the City 2, the second photo gallery looks at some of the best and worst sex scenes in Hollywood history. I think there are some big omissions but that’s just me. (NY Daily News)

And since I’m here, a pair of SATC2 reviews. All things considered, I think they’re going easy on this bomb. (Musings on Greenwood) (Roger Ebert)

The Stanley Cup Finals start tonight. We’ll have post game recaps of each game. In the mean time, here’s a promo for the finals.

What happens when a sideline reporter does a report near drunk fans? Hilarity and infamy.
