Wednesday Link-Off: E3

It’s time for the Wednesday links. Minka Kelly was recently at the Guys’ Choice awards. I don’t know if she won anything but I’m still certain she’s Derek Jeter’s choice.

Since it’s E3 week, let’s kick off with a video game link. In the push to make sports games more realistic, developers are looking off the field to up the game. (Kotaku)

Game Four of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight. Here’s your fun Boston fact of the day: Bruins fans drink more than Celtics fans. (Boston Globe)

There’s nothing I like more than a Mike Tyson profile. (GQ UK)

After the jump, Pippa Middleton goes for a run, serious internet porn research and damn you Timberlake. Continue reading →

Worst of Music: Tonje Langeteig – I Don’t Wanna Be A Crappy Housewife

It seems that the internet has been looking for the next Rebecca Black. While there are dozens of wanna-be YouTube artists who can’t sing but post crappy webcam videos of themselves, it takes that special someone to get a professional recording studio to produce a song and music video for them. And that brings us to this week’s Worst of Music winner. It’s a Norwegian housewife that you’ve never heard of before and you’ll never hear from again with a song called I Don’t Wanna Be A Crappy Housewife. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: The Boys of Summer

It’s time for the Sunday links. Since it’s been a while since I’ve done a linkdump, I’ll have some old ones in here. But in the meantime, here’s Blake Lively because we’re seeing a lot more of her lately (pun intended).

There’s a new show on FX starring Frodo Baggins and an imaginary dog… I don’t get it either. Anyway, Fox decided to promo it during their baseball games in the worst way possible. (MockSession)

The NFLPA’s latest move to get more money for the players? Stay decertified. (Yahoo Sports)

Having fun at school is verboten! Two high school seniors had some fun by performing a lightsaber fight in the cafeteria. The principal didn’t like it so much. (WHDH)

After the jump, other NHL disciplinarian candidates, strange TLC shows and Ukrainian parliament vs. Mortal Kombat. Continue reading →

The 20 Ugliest NHL Hats

A couple of weeks ago, Baseball Nation looked at the ugliest hats licensed by Major League Baseball. A few days before that, I paid a visit to the Hockey Hall of Fame and it was plainly clear that the NHL doesn’t exactly screen what its apparel manufacturers make. The likes of Reebok, Zephyr and more NHL partners are pumping out awful examples of headwear. So here are the 20 ugliest hats you can buy from the National Hockey League. Continue reading →

Man Lab: The Complete Bro Code

Fans of the hit TV series How I Met Your Mother know all about Barney Stinson’s Bro Code. It’s the 150 edicts that bros should live by. Since we’re fans of Neil Patrick Harris and HIMYM here are The Lowdown Blog, we think it’s only appropriate that the Man Lab brings you the Bro Code so you have a handy reference of all the rules guys should live by.

Worst of Music: Rihanna – S&M (Live)

This week’s Worst of Music comes from the comments of last week’s WoM post. AbandonCulture nominated Rihanna’s S&M performance from the Billboard Music Awards last weekend for this week’s WoM. Now, I know we’ve already done S&M on the WoM before but this live performance is just a whole new barrel of laughs and AC brings up a good point in her nomination that made me rethink my initial assessment of this song.
