I'm not gonna waste your time by saying much about SI's Swimsuit Issue because I know you just want to look at the pictures. So, I'll just throw one nugget out there: Esti Ginzburg is your 2009 Rookie of the Year.

Ink Info

You wouldn't expect a piece about sports tattoos that doesn't have any pictures to be good, but that's not the case with this feature that covers NBA tattoos, from A to Z. (Thanks to Lauren Wey, of Knoxville, Tenn., for the link.)

Rooting For The Bad Guys

The volleyball scene in Top Gun will go down as one of the most memorable in movie history. And while most people were rooting for Maverick and Goose, the Love of Sports is giving you Five Reasons to Love Iceman and Slider.

Quality Quotes
Yogi Berra

Several Yogi Berra gems can be found on this list of funny/bizarre athlete quotes, but the most amusing one just might be from former Houston Oilers coach Bum Philips.

Two New Football Leagues
Did you guys know there was such as thing as the United Football League? I had no idea until last week, when I read that Jim Fassel will be coaching in it. The League will have a draft in July and the season will start in October. On a similar, yet totally different note, the Deuce of Davenport informs us of another league that's starting up -- The World Bikini Football League.

As March Madness Approaches...

If you've missed any of the controversial stories that have taken place this college basketball season, CollegeHoopsNet.com has a thorough summary, which includes many videos.

NASCAR Love

Wes Hewitt, of Sierra Vista, Ariz., says "I was disappointed in your comment earlier this week about this being the beginning of "slow sports" season. As those who are educated know, this weekend is the beginning of one of the 'fastest' sports seasons as all true NASCAR fans can attest to, as it is the beginning of the next great season of racing. I think you owe an apology to all NASCAR fans for your lack of recognition." And Jay Green, of Searcy, Ark., says "So, I know tomorrow and probably the next two days following are going to be dedicated to the SI Swimsuit issue, and rightfully so. But I was wondering if it would be to much to ask, could you mention something about the 'Super Bowl' of NASCAR coming up this Sunday? THE DAYTONA 500! It doesn't have to be big, but I think it deserves a little face time. Thanks." All I can give you is this amusing list that suggests Ten Ways NASCAR Could Be More Badass and this gallery of celebrities who are picking the Daytona 500 winner.

Pretty Much The Greatest Link Ever

The video is simply titled "The Sopranos, Uncensored." It's EVERY SINGLE CURSE ever uttered in the history of the show -- and the video is more than 27 minutes long. (Thanks to Shawn Connors, of Salt Lake City, for the link.)

Sports Video Of The Day

Here's another solid soccer celebration. (Thanks to David Shove-Brown, of Washington, for the link.)

Waterslide Video Of The Day

Graeme, of Aberdeen, Scotland says "Hey Jimmy, this is pretty much how I picture you getting home at night in the carefree world of Hot Clicks!" I wish. This is what my commute home looks like. Having said that, the video below is one of the coolest I've ever seen.

Commercial Of The Day

I can't figure out if this is cool or creepy. (Thanks to Luke Cook, of Stisted, Essex, UK, for the link.)

'80s Video Of The Day

When I recently featured a random '80s video in Hot Clicks, I didn't think it would cause much of a reaction. I was wrong. Suggestions keep rolling in at a steady pace and it seems like I'm going to have to make this a daily feature for the near future. Jeff, of Holland, Mich., says "In the contest for the best bad '80s video, I can't see how anything could ever top Quarterflash's Harden My Heart. Dwarves, acrobats, musicians playing electric instruments standing in a puddle while motorcycles circle around them, a strangely sexy Rindy Ross running around in a leotard, and -- the coup de grace -- a bizarre conclusion involving flamethrowers and a bulldozer. I challenge anyone to top it."
