Saturday Link-Off: Social Media Fail

I’m back on Saturdays. It’s good to be on the original home of the Lowdown linkdump. It’s even better to have January Jones back.

We mentioned that celebrities need to be muzzled from embarrassing themselves on Twitter. Maybe they’re already muzzling themselves and ruining Twitter for the rest of us. (NBC Dallas)

Speaking of people ruining social networking websites, it’s people like this that ruin Facebook for single guys like me. I’m glad that I’ve avoided it for the last four-ish years. (College Humor)

Some people shouldn’t be allowed to make any decisions for themselves. For example, an American guy is suing the Bank of America for a stupidly/fictionally large amount of money. (BBC)

After the jump, skating with the stars, loads of ice escapades, and let the Phillies (fans) hit the floor. Continue reading →

Two for the price of one with Canadian exchange today. Here are Canadian hotties Trisha Helfer and Grace Park.

Diego Maradonna is what the Argentinians would call a footballing legend. However, his tenure as manager of the national team has been less than stellar. Now that his side scraped into the 2010 World Cup, he has a few kind words for his supporters in the press. (Deadspin)

Did you know that Friday was National Boss Day? So what should you get some of the worst bosses in the sports world? (Real Clear Sport)

But what do you do if your ex-boss is a lunatic obsessed with becoming famous? You sell your story to the media. (Gawker)

After the jump, Temco-ized football highlights, something else, and don’t quit your day job, Kareem. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Long Weekend Retreat

I had a lot on my plate the past few days; hence this post was delayed. Anyway, the new Entertainment Link-Off is here! It’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! This weekend also marks the release of the ensemble comedy Couples Retreat. Apparently it’s horrible, but Kristen Bell is in it! That should be worth snatching an admission ticket.

Sunday Link-Off: Fight It Out

Here’s Olivia Wilde. You can understand why Megan Fox would strangle a mountain ox to be with her.

After the jump, glorifying football violence, more eye candy and Seth Green goes nuts. Continue reading →

How did Rio de Janeiro win the 2016 Olympics? The Governor of Tokyo says that political deal brokering earned them the votes they needed. (Around the Rings)

Saturday Link-Off: Sex and Candy

Apparently those giveaways that they hold in the Rogers Centre are all fake. (Deadspin)
