Well, I was able to scramble together the usual Canada Day post on the blog. I had to do it at the expense of the IndyCar recap so expect that later in the week. I’m thinking it’ll be on Friday so there’ll be room for the usual F1 Power Rankings on Thursday. And hopefully I can pull that all off without adding more grey to my hair.

Anyway, it’s the day after Canada Day so to ease you back into the week, I have some lovely links for you. But first, let’s start with the lovely Anais Pouliot.

When you’re looking for a career renaissance, sometimes you make it happen yourself and sometimes, it stumbles into a bar for you. For ex-ESPNers Jay Mariotti and Sean Salisbury, a chance encounter in a Beverly Hills hotel and a camera phone helped them get back in the door. (Deadspin)
