Baseball Flies Into The '80s
|
Elle MacPherson :: Raphael Mazzucco/SI |
|
The best take we've seen on the news that Major League Baseball is finally considering adding instant replay comes from Why Don't We Get Drunk and Blog. The blogger welcomes MLB to 1986 and wonders if the GMs at the winter meetings are also discussing other 1986 hot topics, such as the new Journey album and Cheers. They could also be talking about the SI Swimsuit cover, which featured Elle MacPherson.

Let's Stuff The Ballot Box
|
|
It was like Christmas morning for us when we saw that AOL Fanhouse was running a "Who Is the Best and Worst Sports Announcer?" contest, broken down into play-by-play, analyst, studio host and sideline reporter. If you have any appreciation for the work we do here at Hot Clicks, you'll do us this favor and vote for the following people: Worst play-by-play: Chip Caray; Worst analyst: Joe Morgan; Worst studio host: Emmitt Smith; Worst Sideline reporter: Jim Gray. Best play-by-play: Marv Albert; Best Analyst: Kirk Herbstreit; Best Studio Host: Anyone but Bob Costas. Best Sideline reporter: Could it be anyone but Erin Andrews?

What Happened To Just Clapping?
|
|
We're not sure we'd be able to handle someone using a device consisting of six car horns and a flashing orange light powered by a car battery to celebrate a touchdown at a stadium. But when they're doing it on their front lawn, well that's just offensive.

Rumors and Rants have come up with a couple of interesting notes regarding Alex Rodriguez's demand (or is it Scott Boras' demand?) for a $300 million contract. First off, they're figuring out how much each of A-Rod's RBI's cost last season and comparing that price to those of several big-name players. And then, after concluding that $300 million for A-Rod is a bargain, they're looking back at the best and worst bargains in history -- and not just sports history.
