Sunday Link-Off: Searching High… and Low

cintia-dicker-hope13-08I was going to call this the first set of Sunday links of June but then I remembered that I did the links yesterday too. You can’t exactly accuse me of having a long-term memory. Anyway, let’s kick off today’s links with Cintia Dicker who doesn’t get enough love from us on the blog.

Just when you think that the Rob Ford crack video scandal couldn’t get more bizarre, now it turns out that he might know where the video is. (Toronto Star)

Then the press decided to check out the rumoured hiding place of the video. This scandal is nothing if not entertaining. (National Post)

Bill O’Reilly isn’t the worst person in the world despite his affiliation with Fox News. The worst person at Fox News crown is likely to be taken by boss Roger Ailes (Salon)

Speaking of good people at Fox News, unlike what executives think, Megyn Kelly is more than a pair of legs. She’s willing to take moronic guests to task. (BuzzFeed)

Do you have a plan to save the US economy? Try it out in the WSJ’s game where you play as Ben Bernanke. (Wall Street Journal)

Nate Silver takes a break from politics to look at why Canadian teams just can’t win the Stanley Cup. (New York Times)

Women who work in sports media tend to be judged based on their looks but the hiring practices of their employers tend not to discourage people from thinking that looks are the only qualification they care about. (The Daily Beast)

I ran this link over on et geekera but I think it’s worth looking at a hands-on test of Google Glass at the Indy 500 and Coke 600. (The Verge)

College football is a little mental when it comes to money. Kirk Ferentz isn’t close to being an elite coach but his buyout can cover the cost of almost 800 pounds of gold. (SB Nation)

Sportsnet’s Hockey Central’s Twitter feed was sending out porn links for five days before they could stop it. That’s one way to make yourselves look like a #2 company. (Deadspin)

When Hulk Hogan took over TNA Wrestling, he said that he was going to make it the best wrestling company in business. Instead, he’s up to his old WCW tricks and sent the company into a tailspin. He’s the only person who can’t see that he’s a bigger hindrance than a help. (The Classical)

What happens when a match doesn’t go to plan? You get a proper shoot fight in what it supposed to be a worked wrestling match. (The Masked Man)

Working in video games as a QA contractor might seem like a good idea but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. (Kotaku)

The Iron Sheik makes celebrities humble in a recent interview.

In what could be the best thing to come from the Mass Effect 3 ending, Gamer Poop is doing an ME3 ending edition of the show. I’m excited.
