The Best Damn Show On TV
In the nearly two years Hot Clicks has been around, the only thing I've written about more than Erin Andrews is Friday Night Lights. The show's third season begins tonight on NBC at 9 p.m ET. The season has already played out on DirecTV and I can tell you that it's just as good as the first two. I can also tell you that if you didn't watch the first two seasons, you can and should start watching it now. It's easy to pick up. I've begged and pleaded with you guys to watch it before (and I'm not the only one) and now I'm even willing to bribe you. So, here's the plan. You have to watch tonight's episode. If you're in the Northeast, it's supposed to be like 80 below, so stay in and watch it. If you can't watch it tonight, TiVo it, DVR it, watch it on iTunes ... I don't care. Just watch it. In Monday's Hot Clicks, I will ask 3-5 questions about the episode. The first person to answer each question correctly will win Scene It for Xbox 360, a 2009 SI Swimsuit calendar and I will let you choose the woman to lead off Tuesday's Hot Clicks.

I also mentioned everyone's favorite sideline reporter (or, as the fine folks at With Leather call her, Erin Pageviews, as exemplified here) in the today's lead item. Well, the Love of Sports, which says "she radiates golden sunshine in HD for all the world to see," is looking back at EA's Greatest Hits. Somehow, hanging out with me, missed the cut.
