The new NHL season is just a couple of days away after a spectacular seven-game Stanley Cup Final saw Boston lift the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1972. For the first time in a few years, it doesn’t look like much of a changing of the guard heading into this year. Around here, we have a unique way to preview the upcoming season. We compare every team in the league to a song. Continue reading

Worst of Music: LMFAO – Sexy And I Know It
Despite my well-known hatred for dance music, I could actually tolerate the summer’s smash hit Party Rock by LMFAO. Of course, it also wasn’t dance/club/disco music trying to masquerade as something else. It was actually nice to have a dance song that was just that instead of a rap/hip-hop/pop song with dance backing music in a blatant attempt to gain sales by taking over the club scene. And that brings us to this week’s Worst of Music. LMFAO’s new big single goes away from the direction set by Party Rock. This week’s WoM is LMFAO’s Sexy And I Know It. Continue reading

Sunday Link-Off: Big Hits
Believe it or not, I’ve actually gotten a complaint that the photos I’ve been running are too tame. Hopefully Canadian model Daria Werbowy will satisfy all.
I’m no baseball fan by any stretch of the definition. However, even I thought the final day of the regular season was amazing. If you missed the final minutes of the season (or just want to relive it), here are the final two games in the AL wild card chase as they happened in real-time. (Deadspin)
A study says that hockey players are more aggressive when wearing black jerseys. That can’t be right. Philly wears orange jerseys. (Larry Brown Sports)
Florida Panthers prospect Rocco Grimaldi isn’t making a splash for trying to make the league as a 5’6″ forward but for his Twitter rants. Grimaldi is a pretty serious Christian and doesn’t like women running around in revealing clothing. (Puck Daddy) Two things: 1) Rocco, your team doesn’t suck because they’re distracted by pretty ladies; and 2) Ladies, keep wearing whatever you want. He’ll see the light eventually.
After the jump, Ken Dryden talks head injuries, political stupidity and what would happen if computer problems were real? Continue reading
Entertainment Link-Off: Against All Odds
This weekend marks the release of the highly touted dramedy 50/50 starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Anna Kendrick also makes a splash in the film, so we’re kicking off this week’s edition of the Entertainment Link-Off with her.
After the jump, the new Mortal Kombat movie is finally happening, a list of films that won’t be good in 3D, a theatre got fined for showing The Hangover 2, digging up some Jurassic Park stuff and don’t you wish your cat had as much swagger as Puss in Boots? Continue reading
