Hot Clicks

Anna Kournikova :: Tiziano Magni/SI

The Australian Open (where a burlesque show is part of the tournament's official entertainment) kicked off yesterday, so, naturally, Maxim.com looks at the hottest women of tennis while Pop Crunch ranks the 50 hottest women in the sport's history. But better than those two items is this "tennis" commercial sent in by Jose Hurtado, of Alief, Texas. And even though she hasn't played tennis in ages, Anna Kournikova can still cause a stir. There are rumblings that she and Enrique Iglesias are expecting.

Contest Updates

There were 1,496 entries in the Hot Clicks Pepsi Super Bowl Party Pack contest, with 21 people nailing Sunday's total points (94). However, the person who came the closest to Kurt Warner's passing total was Chris Ferguson of Overland Park, Kan. Here's another chance to win some prizes -- if you watched last week's episode of Friday Night Lights. Judging by my e-mails, many of you did, and some of you actually tuned in for the first time, which makes me very happy. It seems the overwhelmingly positive publicity helped the show in the ratings, too. Now, onto the contest. The first person to e-mail me the correct answers to these four question will win Scene It for Xbox 360, a 2009 SI Swimsuit calendar and I will let you choose the woman to lead off Hot Clicks one day next week. Here we go:

1) How did Coach Taylor describe the relationship between Riggins and Saracen during his press conference?
2) What did Tyra tell Landry NOT to call her?
3) What did Buddy Garrity say were the two greatest things in the world?
4) What was the score when JD McCoy replaced Saracen in the Panthers' season opener?
5) BONUS QUESTION: How hot is Minka Kelly? OK, that one doesn't count, but it gives us a chance to let you know that today's New York Post has a new story about Minka and Derek Jeter -- and a new photo of the couple.

UPDATE: 10:32 a.m.: That did not take long. Colby, of Dallas, was the first reader to send in the correct answers -- 1. Tim and Matt are like brothers; 2. Tyra told Landry not to call her "baby"; 3. Buddy said love and football are the two greatest things in the world; 4. Panthers led 38-13 when JD replaced Matt; 5. Minka is absurdly hot.

And He Didn't Have To Watch Friday Night Lights...

A lucky fan won $1 million at last night's Blackhawks game.

Fun With Photos

National Lampoon's Splog wonders what would've happened if the guy who painted Obama's "Hope" picture painted sports portraits? ... Tirico Suave proves that Donovan McNabb is to blame not only for the Eagles woes, but all Philadelphia woes ... Here's a great site, sent in by Philip Henson, of Boston, that uses funny pictures to do some trash talking. (Warning: Link contains strong language.)

Inauguration Links

Here's your Inauguration Day Drinking Game ...The Big Picture has launched a Change in Sports campaign ... The World of Isaac offers some Barack Obama sports trivia ... And here's your Obama basketball mix tape.

Must-See Items On Facebook

Two new links were added yesterday to our Hot Clicks Facebook Group. Check 'em out.

Sports Video Of The Day

Brian, of Wellington, Prince Edward Island, sends us this 2007 brawl between the Halifax Wolverines and the Summerside Western Capitals. Things pick up at the 40-second mark, when one player runs (skates) away when he realizes an opponent is coming after him. And then a few seconds later, another player FLIES -- yes -- FLIES into the stands.

The Onion Video Of The Day

Have you heard about the new Mac?

Commercial Of The Day

Alti, of Chicago, and Marco, of Montevideo, Uruguay, sent in this T-Mobile spot that's running in England. I'd love to see what would happen if people tried this in Penn Station. And when you're done watching the video below, check this one out. (Thanks to Herbert Knaf, of Vienna, Austria, for the link.)

Classic Commercial Of The Day

Bob, of Hillsborough, N.J., sent in the link to this site, that's pulled 10 funny commercials from YouTube and is asking you to vote on the best. I went with the one below.
