The gang at Bloomberg have determined the most powerful athlete in the world on and off the field. Thanks to Tiger’s last year, there’s a new sheriff in town. (Business Week)

And speaking of LA, it was 15 years ago last week that the Kings unveiled their third jersey. It’s a day that will live in infamy for some hockey fans. Here’s the story behind those jerseys. (The Royal Half)

After the jump, more NHL links, Ridley Scott’s new TV project and the Dead Space hand cannon.

With the Super Bowl still a week away, I thought this link was a good one for football fans just the same. It’s a study of which team is the most exciting to watch. The answer will surprise you. (Wall Street Journal)

Deadspin contributor Katie Baker shares her stories of online chats with hockey fans in a post titled “I Was Teenage Hockey Message Board Jailbait.” (Deadspin)

From a list about the future to one about the past. It’s the eight most addicting NES games. (Unreality) I’m disappointed that Blades of Steel didn’t make the list.

I’ve just started playing Dead Space 2 but already know I’m going to miss out on something cool by playing normal difficulty. If you play on hardcore difficulty you get the HAND CANNON as a reward. Best video game video of the year (so far).

Did you know it’s X-Games time again? Yeah, neither did I. Anyway, here’s a Norwegian snowboarder with a couple of double entendres about his snowboard.

And again, here’s something to keep you hyped for the Super Bowl. It’s the NFL on Fox theme song choir rap by a guy in front of a green screen.
