Wednesday Link-Off: Do or Do Not…

This weekend was my annual trip to a NASCAR race so I missed this week’s SLO. I’ve got plenty of links to power through. But first here’s Eva Mendes. She could do better than her previous sex tape.

Here is one of the greatest lists in the history of the galaxy (far, far away). It’s the Top 100 Star Wars characters of all-time (including the Expanded Universe). (IGN)

Top Gear: USA is coming soon to the History Channel. Hopefully, we’ll get it in Canada too. Anyway, for TG fans, here’s a preview of the upcoming season. (Jalopnik)

The English Premier League season just got underway this past weekend. Looking for a team to cheer for? Here’s a list comparing EPL teams to North American sports teams. (FOX Sports)

After the jump, 20 Cent’s revenge, more on Jenny the Dry Erase Board Girl, and 3D’s biggest victory so far. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Epic Exit

Here’s Sofia Vergara who stars in a show that I’ve never watched but probably should.

This week has been all about the epic ways that people have left their jobs. Monday, a Jet Blue steward went ballistic after his flight landed and had a monumental meltdown. (NBC New York)

Then Tuesday, we were introduced to Jenny who quit her job by emailing a series of 33 photos to her coworkers. (The Chive)

Mind you, there’s been some debate over whether Jenny is real or not. The men behind her photos on The Chive say she’s for real. (All Things Digital) After last year’s Trump stunt, can we believe them?

After the jump, a video game question, a trio of lists and a Lando movie. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Pigskin Pickoff

For the second Sunday in a row, here’s Katy Perry. Those boys at Rolling Stone really do a good job.

Madden 11 is out this Tuesday. To get you ready for the next edition of the iconic franchise, here’s the history of the game from its start through today. (ESPN)

Regardless of whether he comes back or not, Brett Favre’s story would make a heck of a musical. Kinda like this. (New Yorker)

By the way, Terez Owens claims to have a source that says Jenn Sterger made up the Favre text story to get famous and Deadspin ran the story for page views. (Terez Owens) So running a story completely the opposite of Deadspin and loaded with Sterger pics is run solely out of the goodness of his heart?

After the jump, the science of booty calls, Darth Schwarzenegger, and the best games of the year so far. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: To Be Famous

Let’s kick off this WLO with Danielle Hilliard who just did a photo shoot for our pals at Lion’s Den U. There’s a link to the whole shoot after the jump. It’s also a preview of tomorrow’s post.

Big Daddy Drew tries to answer one of life’s unanswerable questions: How many famous people are there in the world? (Deadspin)

As we all know, the Americans were bounced from the World Cup. Some supporters didn’t take it so well. (SportsGrid)

Speaking of the World Cup, what exactly is that magic spray that seems to make everyone better instantly. (Slate)

After the jump, down goes Fedor, the best of bad writing, and more Danielle Hilliard. Continue reading →

Wednesday Link-Off: Sporting Shenanigans

For the first time on one of our linkdumps, here’s Emma Watson. She’s really the only reason to watch those upcoming Harry Potter movies.

Kyle Wellwood is well known amongst the Canuckleheads for having some weight issues. So when somebody posted a joke story about the Kyle Wellwood annual Deep Dish Pizza tour of Chicago, NBC bought it as real. (SB Nation)

Speaking of hockey shenanigans, San Jose fans have their own answer for the Wings’ octopi. (Puck Daddy)

Philadelphia: Home to the greatest fans in all of sports… Or something like that. (The Big Lead)

After the jump, Twitter isn’t white and nerdy, Bill’s near billions, and a Lego galaxy far, far away. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Sporting Brouhaha

For the first SLO of a new year, here’s a new face for the blog, Bar Refaeli.

A look at athlete “transgressions” from an inside perspective. (New York Times)

Suppose somebody was to make a movie about Tiger Woods’ transgressions. Who would you put in that movie? Well, somebody’s already fantasy cast a Tiger Wood’s biopic. (Fanhouse)

Basketball is such a civil sport. Players will fight with fans, sleep with other players’ fiancés and even draw guns on each other. Even weirder, it was teammates drawing guns on each other. (Deadspin) And you thought the NFL had a culture problem…

After the jump, the return of wrestling’s Monday night wars, even more decade and year retrospectives, and the interstellar A-Team. Continue reading →

Entertainment Link-Off: Black Friday Hangover

I’m sure everyone is exhausted from the endless shopping, so it’s time to just sit down, relax and check out this week’s Entertainment Link-Off. After a Twilight heavy link-off, let’s shift the focus to other stuff. This ELO features Anna Kendrick. She’ll be co-starring with George Clooney in the film Up in the Air. The critically acclaimed film directed by Jason Reitman is set to hit theatres next week. Hurray! We can simply forget that she was in that vampire movie that just came out.

After the jump, a few featurettes on Avatar, FOX announces its midseason schedule, some fun Star Wars stuff and more Lego awesomeness. Continue reading →

Sunday Link-Off: Cashing In

ivanka-trump-stuff-7Ivanka Trump because she’s one of the most overlooked women in the world. She’s also the only heiress that doesn’t need to make a sex tape to make money.

Sports Illustrated released its annual list of the highest earning athletes. It shouldn’t come as a surprise who topped the North American list (SI.com), but you might go “Oh yeah! Him.” about the man on top of the international list. (SI.com)

An Aussie robbed pulled an inside job on a video game bank and converted his stolen virtual cash to real cash. His theft caused a run on the bank that ruined the game’s economy. (BBC)

A new study from my alma mater shows that banning Facebook and Twitter at work deprives employees the opportunity to develop essential skills. (UWO)
