Sunday Link-Off: 50

elizabeth-banks-vanityfair16-01Spoiler alert: I don’t have any Super Bowl links in today’s post. I doubt that surprises anyone since all the talk about the Super Bowl has been Cam Newton’s pants and whether Peyton Manning will retire which is interesting because I thought he retired before the season the way he played early on.

The 2016 Presidential campaign hasn’t really started but Jeb Bush is already slinging mud and lies. This is going to get ugly people. (Washington Post)

RIM/BlackBerry was one of the many short-lived great Canadian tech success stories. This time, it wasn’t a tech bubble that killed a Canadian tech giant but leadership that killed RIM. (MacLean’s)

A man threatened to kill himself so his girlfriend called the police. He ended up getting killed. Is suicide by cop a problem with the suicidal person or the cops? (The Daily Beast)

Wednesday Link-Off: It’s Our Game

She may not have been nominated for an award but Elizabeth Banks was a winner at the Oscars in my books.

In the greatest feature written about the Olympic men’s hockey game of the century, the main players breakdown the final four seconds of the game fraction of a second by fraction of a second. (Toronto Star)

Canada (or at least Edmonton) has its priorities straight. During the gold medal hockey game, folks only when to the bathroom during the intermissions. (Pat’s Papers)

If you’re involved in Italian Serie A soccer, don’t blaspheme. It got Jesus crucified and a manager a touchline ban. (Goal)

After the jump, a Stephen Brunt column, dumb celebrity lawsuits, and The Three Stooges. Continue reading →
