Hot Clicks

She's Baaack!

Several of you sent angry e-mails about the fact that I took off the day after the Super Bowl. Hey, I wanted to enjoy the party I went to, and it's hard to do that when you remember you have to wake up at 6 the next morning. Anyway, Mallory was the right person to do Hot Clicks yesterday. I didn't see one second of NBC's pregame show, I didn't see one commercial during the game and I didn't see one second of Bruce Springsteen's performance. I wouldn't have brought much to the table, except for telling you that during our game of Taboo at halftime, my friend Dave (who hosted the awesome bash) used "an instrument you blow into" for a clue when the word we had to guess was "fiddle." Anyway, when I last left you, we were immersed in Laura Leigh (more on her below). Well, another Hot Clicks favorite, Leryn Franco (you may remember her from this, this and this) is back in the news. Brian Olson, who originally tipped us off to Franco, e-mailed to say that the Olympic javelin thrower has just signed a contract with Nike to be the face of an upcoming advertising campaign for its clothing line. Let's hope this Olympian stays clean, because you never know what can happen when you toke up.

You Can't Escape The Snuggie

Pete Fox, of Bethlehem, Pa., sends this article which let's us know that just under $40 million worth of Snuggies have been sold in three months. More impressive than that, though, is Robby, of Knoxville, Tenn., who e-mailed to show us how he recently used the Snuggie as a way to taunt Gators coach Billy Donovan.

Sports Video Of The Day

With Joe Torre's book on shelves today, here's a little song that takes the "Say It Ain't So, Joe" side.

Laura Leigh Video Of The Day

Someone named Dan e-mailed this. He didn't provide a hometown or e-mail address. I'm not sure why he wouldn't, since he's gonna be our new hero for finding it.
