Saturday Link-Off: The Blame Game

megan-fox-elle-01When in doubt, go with Megan Fox. Can you blame me?

Also, when in doubt, blame the cat. For example, a Florida man tried to use his can as a scape… cat for downloading child pornography. (The Guardian)

And when in doubt, blame Dale Earnhardt Jr. A man in what was described as Dale Jr. hat robbed a New Jersey bank. I think they’ve got the wrong man because it’s clearly a Dale Jarrett hat. Either way, I’m wearing my wallet on a chain today. (All Left Turns)

Meanwhile, celeb watchers are blaming the frosty relationship between A-Rod and Jeter for the equally as frosty relationship between their women Kate Hudson and Minka Kelly. My money is on Minka in a catfight. (The Big Lead)

After the jump, athlete failures, Nintendo failure, and vintage ECW with a chair throwing win. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Feeling Lucky

jennifer-aniston-elle-sept09-1It’s pictures like this that make me ask what Brad Pitt was thinking when he dumped Jennifer Aniston.

If Top Gear host Richard Hammond didn’t have bad luck, he would have no luck at all. Last weekend, he was involved in a minor collision at a roundabout that probably improved the look of his Morgan AeroMax. (Daily Mail)

Then again, it could have been someone from the supermarket he endorses trying to finish him off. They weren’t fond of him saying that he wasn’t interested in food on a recent episode of Top Gear. (Daily Telegraph)

The Lingerie Football League doesn’t have an All-Star team. Instead, they have an All-Fantasy team… without pictures included, sadly. (LFL)

After the jump, more Top Gear crashes, marketing failures, and the motorhome racing championship. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: All About Karma

diora-baird-fhm-spain-4After spending a week with just Jackie, you get me again! No! Don’t run away! Damn…

Anyway, here’s Diora Baird who seems to be well on her way to world domination. Not that I’m complaining at all.

It’s that time of year again. Time to vote for the Deadspin Hall of Fame Class of 2009. I like Barkley, Starbury, and Dong. No, wait. (Deadspin)

What do you do if you aren’t happy with the team that drafted you? You sit out and re-enter the draft. Suddenly, Eric Lindros doesn’t seem so bad (except for holding out on my hometown Soo Greyhounds). (Sports Illustrated)

Division I-AA (or FCS, for the technical types) powerhouse Appalachian State has lost their quarterback for their training camp after he ran over his foot with a lawnmower. As a Michigan fan, I think this is karma. Better late than never. (AppFan)

After the jump, lots of sports news, failed VW ad attempts, and… CIS news? It really was a slow week. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Locked and Loaded

rachel nicholsIt’s time for another edition of the Entertainment Link-Off! This weekend marks the release of the highly anticipated G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It’s one of the last summer action-fests, so head out to the theatres to check it out… I know I’ll be there! If you’re not interested in the storyline or anything, just remember this movie features a nifty fight scene between Rachel Nichols (pictured) and Sienna Miller! Mrow!

After the jump more 500 Days of Summer stuff, some movie casting news and almost everybody hates NBC. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Happy Civic Holiday or Whatever

emmanuelle-chriqui-gq-3It’s a made up long weekend in Canada. Let’s celebrate with Canadian hotness icon Emmanuelle Chriqui.

Since EA Sports is sent us a copy of NCAA Football 10 to review, we thought we would take a refresher course in video game football etiquette. I know this is for Madden 10 but just substitute the Florida Gators for the Pats and it’ll work out. (Awesomely)

Speaking of etiquette, I don’t think it’s good form to be tasked with selling a soccer team and try to sell it on eBay. Even if it’s only in Britain’s League One. (BBC)

And keeping with etiquette, L.A. Lakers coach Phil Jackson is a stickler for it, especially during games. Just ask movie star Jonah Hill. (LA Times)

After the jump, it’s hard in the press for a pimp, news from the rink, and Raw is Shaq highlights. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Lost in Space

sienna millerAugust is finally here! While most of the summer blockbusters have already made it to a theatre near you, there are still a few more flicks that are prepping for release this month including G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The film does have quite the recognizable cast and features some nifty over-the-top action, so I’m really pumped about it. Plus, it also features a very bad-ass Sienna Miller as Baroness.

She was also on Top Gear last week during the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment. Don’t forget to check out the series 13 finale of Top Gear tomorrow night!

After the jump, new sci-fi show alert, Top Gear has Twitter (and so do we!), a look at Flynn’s Arcade and what Kevin Smith thinks of Twilight and its fans… Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Technological Disasters

megan-fox-gq2008-10We had a video a while back showing that Megan Fox was a CGI creation. Definitely the greatest use of advanced technology ever.

I wasn’t kidding when I said David Beckham was picking fights in his return to the LA Galaxy. A British tabloid hired a lip reader to prove that I was right. (News of the World)

How many times do I have to tell you that creating more advanced robots will only lead to disaster? A Japanese doom-bringer has created robots to throw baseballs and swing a bat. I can’t see how these skills could be used to take over mankind. (ABC/AP)

And I’m not the only one that thinks robots are going to kill us all. Even real scientists think that we’re creating mechanical monstrosities that will kill us all. (New York Times)

After the jump more on Erin Andrews, trouble for stick men and the greatest hole-in-one ever. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Feelin’ Energetic

boaComic-Con 2009 is finally here! I will be posting tidbits on a handful of events from the convention very soon and that includes my thoughts on the unaired Dollhouse episode Epitaph One. Meanwhile keep an eye out for the trailer watch. Anyway it’s time for another edition of the Entertainment Link-Off! Sorry for the slight delay in posting this, but I was overwhelmed with nerdism. Headlining this article is BoA, who recently released the music video for her latest single ‘Energetic’ through Entertainment Weekly. The song was also featured in our Lowdown Music Special earlier this year.

After the jump, some funny Harry Potter stuff, brief movie/TV updates, BoA’s new music video and Darth Vader does MC Hammer. Continue reading →

Saturday Link-Off: All About The Money

isla-fisher-03Change in programming today. I’m here and Jackie will be back tomorrow. Anyway, Bruno may have been an absolute box office bomb but Isla Fisher is the only reason that SBC still wins.

We all know the Monopoly rule: Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Well a man won the Canadian lottery and was able to collect $4.4 million. Then he went directly to jail without passing go. (CBC)

NFL and Seattle Seahawks WR (and charter member of the All-Name Team) T.J. Houshmadzadeh is pissed at EA Sports. He’s boycotting Madden 10 because they only gave him a 91 overall rating. (Kotaku)

Jay Mariotti is what highly educated people would call an asshole. He decided to use the Erin Andrews incident as a reason to run-down the blogosphere. Ironic since he’s a blogger for Fanhouse. Anyway, I’ll leave this in the hands of the much more eloquent Andrew Bucholtz. (Sporting Madness)

Or you could read this line-by-line breakdown of Mariotti’s stupidity by the one and only Weed Against Speed. (Sportress of Blogitude)

After the jump, the Jim Leyland topless video, proper home theatres, and the LeBron dunk tape. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Strange But True

katherine-heigl-gq2Katherine Heigl has a new movie coming out this weekend. She hopes that it does well because she’s managed to piss off Grey’s Anatomy writers. I can sleep soundly at night knowing both Grey’s and The Ugly Truth will flop.

The King is back to haunt our dreams. Burger King is sponsoring a Spanish soccer team and expect the King to make regular in-game appearances. (Deadspin)

I knew that you could drive a car without legs but I didn’t think it was possible to ride a motorcycle without arms. (Ananova)

Normally I wouldn’t complain about criminals getting locked up for a long time but this might be excessive. A man steals five CDs from Wal-Mart and gets life in prison. He still got off lighter than if he were to try to start a union in Wal-Mart. (Houston Chronicle)

After the jump, learn about golf broadcasts, dumb athlete excuses, and Rick Astley meets Nirvana in the world’s greatest mashup. Continue reading →
