Sunday Link-Off: Behind The Mic

Let’s kick off today’s SLO with Stacy Keibler pictured at the Maxim Hot 100 party. Inexplicably, she was only #82 on the list.

As we all know, Gus Johnson is the new voice of Madden football. EA Sports put a couple of gaming writers through their paces to see if they could hang with Gus while calling a game. The results were predictably hilarious. (Kotaku)

If you’re looking for sports commentary on the opposite end of Gus, a soccer broadcaster for Sky Sports invented his own version of the English language to answer a simple question. (Today’s Big Thing)

When you’re a young upstart in sports, leaving tickets for a crush is kinda cute. One Red Sox minor leaguer’s crush on Erin Andrews has gone from kinda cute to very pathetic. (Last Angry Fan)

After the jump, a Top Gear spoiler, London Olympic mascot fun, and a trick shot from an airplane. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Lost Weekend!

That’s right, this Sunday marks the 2-hour series finale of the hit show Lost. Apparently they’re supposed to tie up all the loose ends, but who knows, we might all end up more confused about the show than when it first started off. Leading off this entry is Lost’s Evangeline Lilly.

After the jump Brett Ratner wants to be a comedian, Transformers 3 needs a new leading lady, dying superhero movies get a gritty reboot and a healthy TV fix to get you ready for next season. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Bad Beats

In the last week, we’ve had Katy Perry and Marisa Miller named the sexiest woman in the world. But why isn’t there any love for Miranda Kerr?

Well, we know he ain’t re-signing the Cavs now. LeBron’s mom is allegedly sleeping with Delonte West. (Terez Owens)

Tim Donaghy is back in the public eye. Now he’s telling gambling horror stories to Deadspin. (Deadspin) Beats gambling tips from a 12-year-old.

Eric Byrnes went 2-for-3 with two dingers the other night… In a beer league slow-pitch softball game. Hell, even I’d be hard-pressed not to pull that off. (Pro Rumors)

After the jump, the future of comedy movies, some baseball links, and Montreal’s spectacular playoff run. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Off the Charts!

Finding someone to lead off the ELO this week was a bit of a struggle, so here is something from Amber Heard’s latest photoshoot with Jezebel. Oh she was also featured in the Maxim’s Hot 100 list and came in at number 13 this year. Not bad at all!

After the jump some Transformers 3 news, the fate of Heroes is in limbo, never trust robots that are panhandling on the streets and Alison Brie dishes on her dirty art school experiences. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Bet On A Winner

She may not have topped Maxim’s Hot 100 list this year but Marisa Miller is a perennial contender. And if she actually rides a Harley, all the better.

Everybody remembers Tim Donaghy, right? Well, the betting system he used while still a ref is doing just fine for him now that he’s unemployed. (Black Sports Online)

It seems as though the Phoenix Coyotes are heading home. The Jet-o-Meter is at 96%. (JetsOwner)

The Preakness is this weekend. The question isn’t if there will be a Triple Crown winner but how the annual running of the portajohns goes. (Bro Bible)

Sunday Link-Off: Diamond Gems

Taylor Swift has nothing to do with baseball but she’s one of American Idle’s few gems. Yes, I know how to spell.

Entertainment Link-Off: Flashes of Brilliance

For those of you in North America, this weekend marks the release of Iron Man 2! Leading off this ELO is Kate Mara. She briefly appears near the beginning of the film and that’s it. I know it’s a bit disappointing. I don’t know about you, but I certainly wouldn’t complain if Jon Favreau managed to somehow squeeze her in more scenes of the movie.

Oh by the way Friday Night Lights is back on NBC (Fridays at 8 pm), so remember to tune in folks!

After the jump another new J.J. Abrams project revealed, new Tron Legacy images, some Kick-Ass news, an awesome Street Fighter short film and the original Star Wars trilogy summarized in 2 minutes with Lego! Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Sporting Shenanigans

For the first time on one of our linkdumps, here’s Emma Watson. She’s really the only reason to watch those upcoming Harry Potter movies.

Kyle Wellwood is well known amongst the Canuckleheads for having some weight issues. So when somebody posted a joke story about the Kyle Wellwood annual Deep Dish Pizza tour of Chicago, NBC bought it as real. (SB Nation)

Speaking of hockey shenanigans, San Jose fans have their own answer for the Wings’ octopi. (Puck Daddy)

Philadelphia: Home to the greatest fans in all of sports… Or something like that. (The Big Lead)

After the jump, Twitter isn’t white and nerdy, Bill’s near billions, and a Lego galaxy far, far away. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Steel City

I wasn’t sure who to lead with so here’s both Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson.

Well, Tiger Woods’ return to regular PGA Tour work was an epic failure. Maybe he really did mean “Bootyism” because Buddhism can actually make your golf game better. (Wall Street Journal)

In an era of DVD-RWs and USB drives, the 3.5-inch floppy disk is still ridiculously popular. But just who is still buying them? (BBC)

Bill Murray, who I often refer to as “Cuz,” is still an absolute legend. (New York Magazine)

After the jump, Pittsburgh sports links, Jaro Halak is literally a god in Montreal and Stanley Cup history will be made. Continue reading →
