Wednesday Link-Off: Gonna Be A Man In Motion

I have no idea who Katrina Bowden is but she’s in 30 Rock and it’s back this week so I figured it would be appropriate to lead off this post with her. I should have used a Denver Broncos cheerleader…

Dustin Penner is out with back problems. He injured himself while eating pancakes. No, I’m not making that up. (Puck Daddy)

Jerry Sandusky’s autobiography wasn’t just unfortunately named but it was unfortunately written. The book led police to more of his victim. (Deadspin)

Just in time for this weekend’s divisional playoff games, it’s a collection of Aaron Rodgers photobombing team pictures. (Aaron Rodgers Photobombs)

After the jump, the mayor of Hinchtown has a new job, Ron Swanson is a writer and Tim Tebow’s Fire! Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Power and Politics

It’s time for the return of the Sunday links after a three-week hiatus. To make up for the absence, here’s Chuck star Yvonne Strahovski. Maybe the show would’ve had better ratings if she did more photoshoots like this before the fifth and final season.

If you’ve ever wondered why it seems as though American political coverage has gone a bit overboard, we finally know who to blame. Political coverage is following the lead of sports coverage. (The Atlantic)

The Black Keys think Nickelback sucks. I knew there was a reason I liked these guys. (Uproxx)

It was AJ Daulerio’s final week at Deadspin last week. That meant that he got a classically Deadspin-esque roast sendoff. And he’s been roasted by the likes of Leitch, Magary, Scott Van Pelt and more. Sadly, no Brett Favre. (Deadspin)

After the jump, the latest on SOPA, a new player in gaming media and a new and better candidate for President. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Saturday In The Park

It’s a quiet weekend in Hollywood. The only movies coming out this weekend are either on the small side or just plain awful. The Devil Inside had the biggest Friday box office this weekend but it’s probably not worth watching. The next three weeks make up for that with at least a couple big movies opening each weekend. But the surprisingly good Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol with Paula Patton is still #2 at the box office.

After the jump, another quick look back at 2011, the latest on some upcoming big releases, Barney Stinson actually goes on The Price Is Right and a real-life Ron Burgandy moment. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Game On

Normally, we have a policy about not running candid photos on the blog but it’s quite clear that Maria Menounos is posing in this photo so I can post it here.

The NHL’s 2010-11 ticket revenue figures leaked online this week. The rankings are actually sort of surprising but make sense when you think about it. (MC79Hockey)

What happens when a video game hardware company outsources customer relations to a PR company that should know what it’s doing? A complete customer service and PR disaster. (Penny Arcade)

Keeping with video games, they may be moving to a purely digital format sometime in the future but they’re on discs for now. So just how are they made? (1up)

After the jump, the NHL’s New Year’s party, some video game stories and F. U. Knighted Airlines. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Year’s End

It’s the holiday season and the new year is near! This will mark the last Entertainment Link-Off of 2011. It’s been a quiet week, so it’ll be fairly short. Fear not folks, lots more to come in 2012. Til then, let’s cap off the year with Rachael Taylor. She can be seen in the alien invasion flick The Darkest Hour. Judging from the word of mouth, the movie isn’t exactly a must-see.

After the jump, even Marvel lawyers don’t support mutants, some minor updates on upcoming films, a look at the top pirated TV shows and movies, and let’s find out what makes a true friend. Continue reading →

Man Lab Link-Off: Auld Lang Syne

It’s been almost two months since we last gave you our trademark collection of links for guys from our Man Lab. In our defense, we’ve been digging some good stuff up like Brazilian model Elisandra Tomacheski. Based on the disproportionately large number of models that come from there, I think we have to dedicate a Man Lab post to travelling to Brazil.

Ever find yourself in a situation that you just can’t handle? Here are six tip from a con man on how to get yourself through a situation where you’re out of your depth. (Art of Manliness)

After the jump, how to make you a better man, some year-end photo galleries and some great Christmas leftover videos. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: The Best of 2011

It’s time for our collection of best of 2011 list links. To kick it off, it’s our scientifically determined woman of the year Kate Upton. Not that we actually needed to use our fancy system to figure that out.

Since this is a linkdump about the best of 2011, I think it’s only appropriate that the first link is to a list of the best of everything of 2011. (Time)

Still having trouble figuring out who’s worth a follow on Twitter? You might want to try this list of the top 100 Twitter accounts of 2011. (Paste Magazine)

Perhaps you prefer your internet a bit more meme-ish. Then check out this list of the best memes of 2011. (Made Man)

After the jump, the best of sports, the best pictures and the best fails of 2011. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Solstice

It’s our last linkdump before Christmas. We’ll be around through the weekend to keep your time off covered. In the meanwhile, here’s Candice Swanepoel in her Christmas finest.

A crazy conservative senator thinks Canada should drop the beaver for the polar bear as the national animal. (BBC)

ESPN’s Craig James has left the mothership to run for the US Senate. Apparently, the last people to find out were the ESPN news staff. (Deadspin)

Still stuck for Christmas gift ideas? You might want to avoid these 25 ideas. (Holy Taco)

After the jump, Tecmo Bowl is still running strong, Bill Murray really doesn’t want to Ghostbusters 3 and a Roddy Piper Christmas. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: A Great Day For Hockey

I seem to be pretty hit and miss with these linkdumps lately. But I’m back today. To make up for some of this, here’s Christina Hendricks with a $250+ bottle of scotch.

Today in absolutely bizarre hockey stories, a player was banned from a Boston men’s hockey league for defecating in an opponent’s glove. You can’t make this shit up. (Deadspin)

Ken Dryden is back on Grantand. This time, he’s talking about what the NHL has to do to get ahead of the impending concussion epidemic. (Grantland)

Esquire’s photo of the year is the kissing couple from the Vancouver riot. But what has become of the famous couple? (Puck Daddy)

After the jump, the start of NHL 24/7, the craziest date letter ever and a Community tribute video. Continue reading →
