Sunday Link-Off: Desire

We’re doing two sets of links today so there’s plenty of football still to come. For now, let’s start off with Kate Upton. If you haven’t heard of her before, you’ll hear a lot more from her soon, I think.

Time for AskMen’s annual list of the 99 most desirable women. Blake Lively is #1 this year. She’s good looking but “most desirable?” Not sold on that. (AskMen)

And from the desirable to the undesirables. Here’s Deadspin’s list of the worst men in sports. (Deadspin)

Maybe combining both of the above is Mickey Mantle. When asked by the New York Yankees what his favourite memory of Yankee Stadium was, he provided an amazing NSFW answer for the ages. (Letters of Note)

After the jump, Brian Wilson craziness, great play-by-play moments and the most illegal thing ever in professional wrestling.

Last week, San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson dressed up as a sea captain for an appearance on Lopez Tonight. This week, he dressed up as a caddy to, well, caddy. (Sportress of Blogitude)

The New York Times profiled Manchester United and their fans before they lost to Wolves. Wonder if their profile would change if they wrote it next week. (New York Times)

The University of Alabama football team caused quite a stir on signing day. Their live web stream of their fax machine featured regular appearances from a member of the school’s dance team. (Sports By Brooks)

And in other non-NFL football news, remember Mike Vanderjagt. Where is he now anyway? (The Post Game)

Good news ahead of the Super Bowl: Alcohol doesn’t actually kill brain cells. (The Atlantic)

You’d think that re-releasing old PS1 games for the PS Network would be as simple as copying the files into an easy to install download. But it seem that you’d be wrong. (Kotaku)

I’m a recent convert to Google Chrome thanks to IE9’s suckage with WordPress. So I figure any list that helps you with Chrome is worth a link. (Gizmodo)

In honour of tonight’s big game, here are the 50 greatest play-by-play moments in history according to a website. (Complex) We’ll have more about the Super Bowl a little later on.

Let’s impart some Valentine’s Day-ish knowledge in the run up to the big day. Man and women think differently. I know, a bit obvious there. But there are more than a few words that men and women define differently. (Ned Hardy)

Giant snow penis? Giant snow penis. (Jalopnik)

Here’s a list that I’m quite fond of. It’s the top ten Star Wars quotes that you can use in everyday life. (Gunaxin)

Let’s close out this linkdump with some music. But first, you better get your dance on… In the wrestling ring.

Let’s start with a bad song first. Usually the Hockey Gods are on the ball but I’m not a fan of their Penguins-centric cover of Black and Yellow.

And closing with a good song. It’s the new single from Buckcherry called It’s A Party.
