Sunday Link-Off: The Gossip Guys

Here’s Olivia Munn to remind you that G4 isn’t all for the nerds.

Let’s take a break from Favre for a moment. Hear about that Tiger Woods sex tape with Devon James? Well, smart money says that it’s a fake. (Sports By Brooks)

And back to Brett. Deadspin’s latest Favre story can be summarized with: But wait! There’s more! More Jets employees say the old dongslinger wanted a piece of them. (Deadspin)

And tangentially related to the above, the president of  Bolivia isn’t the cleanest soccer player in the world. While the ref wasn’t looking, he kneed an opponent in the groin. (Out of Bounds)

After the jump, the start of the new NHL season, more Cigar Guy and the return of Taiwanese animated news. Continue reading →

The Humanoids: Drop The Puck

Now that we’ve had our morning dose of the Old Dongslinger himself, let’s get back to regular programming. This edition of the Humanoids was supposed to be all about hockey. That plan got derailed thanks to Messrs. Halladay and Moss. Mostly the good Doctor because it’s not everyday that there’s a no-hitter in the playoffs. That just started a downward spiral for this column. But one thing I can guarantee is that this one is all about sports and their big stars. Whether they deserve the attention they’re getting or not.

Brett Favre Link-Off: Favre-mageddon

Not surprisingly, to kick off the second Favre-dump, here’s Jenn Sterger.

In case you needed a reminder of the back story of the whole Favre/Sterger/Favre Dong saga, here was the original story heard around the world from two months ago. (Deadspin)

And here are the pictures of Favre dong that has started Favre-mageddon. Naturally, this is NSFW because of the photos of Favre’s little gunsligner at the end of the video. (Deadspin)

Surprisingly, the media did actually ask Favre about the pictures this time. Little did he know about the double entendre he made at his own expense. (Kissing Suzy Kolber)

After the jump, more Favre fallout, the money side of the pics, and more on Sterger. Continue reading →

OUA Morning Warmup: Week 7

Our weekly OUA preview comes to you a little early this week. That’s because the weekend of Thanksgiving tends to have an odd schedule. The week starts with one Thursday night game in Hamilton and the remaining three games on Saturday afternoon. Last week saw the OUA tossed on its head as Toronto upset Ottawa to take over the final playoff spot while Laurier beat the nationally ranked Guelph Gryphons. Continue reading →

Join The Lowdown Fantasy Hockey League

As a sort of spur of the moment decision, I’ve created a Lowdown fantasy hockey league over on the TSN/ESPN website. It’s a public pool so anyone can join. That means I can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to get one of the 20 spots available (but with our sizeable readership, you should be able to get in). It’s a head to head league with the winner of each match-up based on winning the most of the nine categories (G, A, +/-, PIM, SOG, PPP, W, GAA, SV%) in play kinda like the old Yahoo pools we all used to play. Each team has 19 roster spots with nine forwards, four defencemen and two goalies starting.

The autopick draft takes place at 5:00 AM tomorrow (Thursday, October 7) so sign up now and set your picks.

Click here to go to The Lowdown Blog Fantasy Hockey League.

UPDATE: We ran out of space in the LBFHL so we’ve set up a second league. Same settings as the other one. Check it out here.

Wednesday Link-Off: Enter Cigar Man

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. Continue reading →

When Drunks Attack The UWO Email System

We got a tip over Twitter that some drunk students stumbled across UWO’s mailing list for all students. Fortunately for us, UWO’s IT department hasn’t limited access to the mailing list which meant that early Sunday morning, students were bombarded with ridiculous emails. The emails had messages professing love for everyone to hatred of Queen’s to the library’s hours. Continue reading →
