Sunday Link-Off: Happy Valentine’s Day

Maybe Julie Henderson will be my valentine. I doubt it though.

The opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics was quite the sight. Especially the look on Nash and Gretzky’s faces when they realized something had gone horribly wrong. (Gawker TV)

Of course, the Olympics aren’t all fun and games. Protesters bitching about everything are wreaking havoc on Vancouver. (Boston Globe)

And don’t have your Olympic tickets yet? Well VANOC has setup their own version of StubHub to rip you off with service fees help you find tickets to the events you want to go to. (CNBC)

After the jump, Vince’s latest crazy plan, something else, and the SI Swimsuit cover curse. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Banging

Kaley Cuoco shows that there is a reason why I should start watching The Big Bang Theory.

I’ve been saving this link for a week but here’s how the best Super Bowl ad of the year came together. (LA Times)

But that wasn’t originally the plan for the Letterman spot. Dave wanted a bigger and/or more crowded couch. (The Wrap)

And it’s the movie moment we’ve all been waiting for. It’s the red band trailer for Kevin Smith’s Cop Out. It’s better than the green band trailer and you will want to see it after watching this. (Film Drunk)

After the jump, a ridiculous John Mayer interview, revealing James Bond mistakes, and a video. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Super Bowl Hangover

We’re back to normal on the blog. Hopefully the heat from the UWO election primer dies down. But you couldn’t expect anyone other than Rutledge supporters to be happy after than. Hopefully everyone is happy with Brooklyn Decker leading off this post.

I love Deadspin’s Asshole Digests. The Asshole Boss Digest has a lot to live up to but it’s off to a good start. (Deadspin)

Did you know that The Who were on your TV as much as live game action from the Super Bowl. There’s video proof of that. (Gawker TV) Couldn’t we just watch a Grey Cup replay instead?

It’s best you give up on mainstream websites. Their creativity in coming up with Super Bowl headlines is lacking. (Joe Sports Fan)

After the jump, more Super Bowl links, another Milbury brawl and We Won’t Get Fooled Again! Continue reading →

Super Bowl Link-Off

It’s Super Bowl Sunday. Around 6:15 PM, we’ll start the 60 minute battle that determines who will take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. But let’s start this post with Super Bowl WAG Kim Kardashian.

The Who are the halftime show at the Super Bowl but there is a history of counter-programming the halftime show. However, some alternate halftime shows are better than others. (Esquire)

No Super Bowl would be complete without getting completely and utterly shitfaced. You’re likely not going to need the help in that department but if you need a drinking game, this is the one for you. (Ted Lilly Fan Club)

Everyone wants to make the Super Bowl but cows want to be in the big game too. Actually, they probably don’t seeing as they’d have to be dead to make it. But if you were a cow, what are your chances of making the Super Bowl. (Last Angry Fan)

After the jump, scads more of Super Bowl and football links. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: And The Nominees Are…

It has nothing to do with movies but I think Katy Perry had to have been nominated for a Grammy.

The Oscar nominations were announced this week. To no one’s surprise, it was Avatar that led the way. (New York Times)

But the Oscars bore more than paint drying. No, the real money is at the Razzies. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which is Jackie’s favourite movie of all time, led the way there. (Daily Telegraph)

And it’s the best of the worst movies of all-time. Despite the love for Up in the Air, George Clooney’s turn as Batman is hated worse than Ben Mulroney. (CBC)

After the jump, something, something else, and it’s John Cleese Idol with Ben Mulroney. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: It’s Madness

I was thinking of featuring Alison Brie on Saturday but she’s too good to pass up. Now go watch Community tomorrow night.

Good news: The AP says that Canada is going to open a can of whoop ass on the world in Vancouver. Bad news: We’ve been jinxed by the AP. (Associated Press)

Another look at Twitter from the perspective of someone who doesn’t have it or much in the way of advanced technology. Still, it’s a good read. (New Yorker)

Speaking of technologically related things, cell phones might be slowly killing you. (GQ) It’s a good thing that I never use my cell and pay $40 a month for that paper weight.

After the jump, super sizing March Madness, Super Bowl Manning-ness, and William Shatner awesomeness. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Ball

Can you believe that Miranda Kerr has never been in the SI Swimsuit Issue? I wonder how many other Aussie woman look this good.

Greg Oden is still a notable NBA player despite the fact he’s been injured for the better part of the last two years. He got back on the radar again when naked photos of himself hit the internet. But he needn’t worry because there’s an all-purpose PR plan for him to use. (Sports Pickle) You would have thought that people would have learned from Vanessa Hudgens example but I guess not.

And while the Chicago Blackhawks didn’t have naked picture leak of themselves. From the looks of them, we’re probably better for that. (Deadspin)

The New Jersey Nets are beyond abysmal but they’re still getting by with a little help from their fans. (ESPN)

After the jump, X-Games stuff, something else, and ball videos. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Stealing Attention

When was the last time we heard anything from Michelle Trachtenberg? This does nicely, though.

The Ottawa Senators held a charity event this week. Nobody cared about the hockey players, though. (CBC)

China renamed a mountain after Avatar to take credit for some of the artwork. (BBC) So this means that there’s a mountain in the Himalayas that should be named “Uncharted 2.” Awesome game by the way. As a system-exclusive game, it blows 360’s Halo out of the water.

Screech has fallen hard since Saved By The Bell. First there was the sex tape. Then an appearance on Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Wrestling. Now it’s the obligatory tell-all book. Some of his claims border on the utterly ridiculous but they’re attention grabbing. (11 Points)

After the jump, celebrity love gone wrong, fighting on TV, and Katy gets catty. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: On The One Hand…

Making her blog debut is Keeley Hazell, one of Britain’s finer exports.

On the one hand, I agree that a social media certification is odd. On the other hand, if it opens me another door… (The Future Buzz)

Again, on the one hand, I like that somebody’s finally un-fucked up Sony’s fucked up decision to remove PS2 compatibility from the PS3. On the other hand, I’d likely fuck up trying this. (BBC) Also figures that someone would figure this out after I invest in a far number of PS3 games.

And on the one hand, dating a porn star is every guy’s dream. On the other hand, I’m sure there a lot more than 8 reasons why it would be a bad idea. (Guyism)

After the jump, Brett Favre, Tiger Woods, both at the same time, and a Grand Fork-up. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Heads Up

Let’s kick off with Minka Kelly who I believe is making her SLO debut.

Is your password 123456? Then I’d think about changing it unless some nice hacker has done that for you already. In the meanwhile, I’d check the rest of the most used password list to protect your interweb identity. (New York Times)

There’s nothing more fun than an FJM-style lambasting of an article. It’s even better when it defends my QB Tony Romo. (NBC Dallas-Fort Worth)

And Michigan State University is on Team Leno. How do I figure that? Their new logo has an enormous chin. (Lansing State Journal)

After the jump, celebrating Canadian sports, talking football, and another Russian hockey brawl. Continue reading →
