Now What?

Since we're in sports' slow season -- for the most part -- why not focus on wrestling? Manofest.com has compiled the 202 Hottest WWE Diva Photos of All Time. Lots of Torrie Wilson there. Meanwhile, SI.com's own Andy Gray recently spoke to WWE World Heavyweight champion John Cena for this entertaining Q&A.

No Downtime For PETA

Clyde Drexler is probably high on PETA's hit list right now. The Rockets analyst recently described a Yao Ming move as "like clubbing baby seals." Awful Announcing has the details. Meanwhile, PETA is trying to take advantage of the Michael Phelps controversy. From a PETA press release: "In the wake of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps' apology for a photo in which he is shown smoking a bong at the University of South Carolina, PETA will be placing ads on billboards near USC's campus warning students about a substance that can be even more hazardous to their health than marijuana: meat."

Branching Out In A Bad Way

Extra Mustard's Cory McCartney recently sized up two would-be rappers in Joaquin Phoenix and Shaquille O'Neal. FirstCuts is also intrigued by Phoenix's actions, so it's looking at the Five Craziest Sports-Related Career Swaps.

Gus Johnson's Whisper has your Signing Day recap. And it involves women from '80s sitcoms.

Horsing Around

With H-O-R-S-E being added to this year's NBA All-Star Weekend, Complex.com looks back at some of history's greatest H-O-R-S-E games.

Left-Over Links

Here are some items that have been in the inbox for a while. In case you missed it on Tuesday, check out Troy Polamalu doing a little crowd surfing during the Steelers' parade (Thanks to James Buechele, of Kent, Ohio, and Sam K., of Colorado Springs, Colo., for the link.) ... Speaking of Tuesday's parade, well, there was this, too ... And this video should silence those who don't think Santonio Holmes got both feet in bounds. (Thanks to Rick Aguirre, of Toronto, for the link.).

More Snuggie And More Laura Leigh

The e-mails keep pouring in about these two things. First, the Sports Hernia reveals how the Snuggie is making it's way into sports. Jeff, of Nashua, N.H., e-mailed to say "Jimmy, my wife had the Today Show on TV [yesterday] morning while we were getting ready for work. I thought you should know they did a segment on the Snuggie, the entire cast (cameraman, producers, etc..) were sporting the Snuggie. Nice job creating such a huge phenomenon. The company should consider profit sharing with you since you got the product in the lime light!" Meanwhile, Dave, of Grove City, Ohio, says "I'm sure you have gotten this a bunch of times, but they owe you big for getting people started on Snuggies. Check out The Today Show crew." And Chris, of Hartford, Conn., sends this amusing "Awesome or Useless" Snuggie head-to-head.

As for Laura Leigh, Ben, of Wilmington, N.C., sends in this video, while Sean, of Toronto, comes through with this one. And BC, of Milwaukee, says "Jimmy, not sure if you've mentioned it, but Laura Leigh is a contestant on ABC's True Beauty, in which hot women and roided-out guys compete to see who is the most beautiful. The show is all right and it makes for good viewing with the fiancee, but I knew I had seen Laura recently. She is still alive on the show and here is a link to a clip. Enjoy and gimme some love tomorrow." I'm only giving BC love because I enjoyed his description of the show. Lastly, Graeme Nelson, of Aberdeen, Scotland, informs me that he's set up a Laura Leigh fan page on Facebook.

Sports Video Of The Day

At least the folks in Tuscon, Ariz., who were subjected to a male porn star shaking his junk right after Larry Fitzgerald scored a touchdown didn't miss any key action. The cut-in came right after Fitz hit the end zone. However, the folks watching yesterday's Liverpool-Everton FA Cup game weren't so lucky. ITV, which aired the game, cut to a commercial right in the middle of the action and ended up missing the game-winning goal. (Thanks to Paolo Rivera, of Manila, for the tip.)

Christian Bale Video Of The Day

So, Christian Bale went NUTS on a movie set earlier this week and the audio got released and now everyone is making remixes, even techno remixes. Ryan, of Flint, Mich., sends us the clip below, which combines Bale's tirade with a classic Bobby Knight tirade. Be warned, though. The language is NSFW. In fact, it might not be safe for anything. It's an f-bomb orgy. If you can handle even more after watching the video below, check out my personal favorite remix -- Bale and Bill O'Reilly.

Miss Elizabeth Video Of The Day

Since Hot Clicks started with wrestling divas, I figured we should end with wrestling divas by remembering the original WWF Diva.
