Sunday Link-Off: Classic Buildup

Always a classic is Jessica Alba who got sucked into appearing in that Little Fockers movie.

The big hockey story of the week is the premiere of HBO’s 24/7: The Road to the Winter Classic. Here are 12 of the big takeaways from the first show, including that Coach Boudreau swears more than me. (Bro Bible)

One of the more interesting parts of 24/7 was the locker room scenes which provided an unparalleled look at team strategy if you looked closely enough at the white boards. (Puck Daddy)

And to further promote the Winter Classic, Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin and Jeremy Roenick went on The Price is Right. Sid and Ovi were as bad as you’d expect. (Washington Post)

After the jump, more hockey links, a look at Uncharted 3 and Paul McCartney live. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: The Game Has Changed

TRONNNNNNN!!!! Yes, this weekend marks the release of the highly anticipated sequel Tron Legacy. So the Tomatometer is a bit rotten at the moment, but the stunning visuals (and eye candy) should be enough to convince us all to see it on the big screen! Since this is the big movie opening this weekend, it would also be appropriate to kick off the ELO with Olivia Wilde.

After the jump some Tron related links, movie trailer dump, Ken Jennings takes on a computer, a Super Mario Bros. mashup with Grand Theft Auto, an awesome alternate ending to Yogi Bear and go banana! Continue reading →

NHL Power Rankings: Week 11

Another week in the long, cold NHL season has come and gone. Not coming or going is the #1 team in the rankings. The Penguins’ winning streak ended at 12 games in a loss to the Philadelphia Flyers but they’re still the best team in the league right now. Mind you, none of the top three teams changed spots but I’m not convinced that the cream has risen to the top already. Continue reading →

Late Night Link-Off: Hustle

Let’s kick off with Jennifer Love Hewitt in a promotion photo shoot for a TV movie that aired long before the photos came out. Makes perfect sense to me.

After the jump, the secret purpose of Facebook, celebs with Santa and a sexting PSA. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Fall of the Dongslinger

It may be cold outside but Victoria’s Secret Angel Lily Aldridge should warm up the freezing Canadian winter.

Here’s the sports media coup of the year. Fox leaves the cameras on overnight and catches the Metrodome roof collapse. Here’s the story behind the video. (USA Today)

Speaking of Favre related things, even though his streak ended, that isn’t the big Dongslinger story of the week. He could be facing a lawsuit from Jenn Sterger. (Pro Football Talk)

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a Christmas tree salesman in New York City? Probably not but this story of a tree-selling family is still a good read. (Los Angeles Times)

After the jump, scads of hockey links, the first gameplay footage of Uncharted 3, and the ultimate F1 2010 highlight package. Continue reading →

The Ten Manliest Cocktails

It’s time for Christmas parties around the world. One thing is consistent among all parties. That’s the fact that damn well near everyone is drunk. However, it’s not exactly in fashion to down beer after beer. Unfortunately, beer is the staple of male alcoholic beverage consumption. I know that I don’t drink much besides that. So to help you figure out what you should drink at your Christmas, here is our list of the top ten manliest drinks that aren’t beer or wine. Continue reading →

Worst of Music: P!nk – Raise Your Glass

Did you know that Pink isn’t really Pink but P!nk. We say it as “pink” but it’s stylized to include an exclamation point. And that’s only the start of the reasons why P!nk’s Raise Your Glass won this week’s Worst of Music award. Continue reading →
