I’ve stopped watching Glee but if you still do, then you’ll know that Lea Michele’s wardrobe isn’t this good.

CNN took a break from politics to profile poutine. (CNN)

A photographer for the Daily Mail got the way of an errant Tiger Woods’ shot and ended up with the best picture in sports history (this year). (Midwest Sports Fans)

Naturally, the cigar guy on the right of that picture has taken a life of his own. He’s got a whole series of photoshops dedicated to his greatness. (Tauntr)

After the jump, the new NBA video games, sports business news and Roddy Piper fights childhood obesity.

We’re just hours away from the start of baseball playoffs. If you’re like me and don’t really care, here’s the hater’s guide to the MLB post-season. (Deadspin)

One of the more interesting stories of the weekend was the Argos dressing former Queen’s Gael Danny Brannagan as the third-string QB. He didn’t get into the game but he did reignite the debate over the place of Canadian QBs in the CFL. (55-Yard Line)

Are your photos missing that something extra? Well now you can add that Michael Bay touch to your special moments. (Presurfer)

Greatest invention of all-time? Greatest invention of all-time. It’s salt flavoured like vinegar so your fries don’t get soggy. (Daily Telegraph)

Toshiba may have given up on OLED but they are going ahead with glasses-less 3D TVs. (Gizmodo) Let’s face it, 3D was never going to go mainstream unless something like this happened.

Ever wonder if you’ve found everything in that old video game of yours? Well, here are nine Easter eggs that took years to find. (Cracked)

Ever wonder how AC/DC would sound if it was mashed up with the Ghostbusters theme? Neither have I but it’s pretty awesome.
