Hot Clicks

The nation's No. 1 basketball team went down at home last night behind a monster effort from a 6-foot-7, 265-pound beast, while the media will try to take down the nation's current public enemy No. 1 at 1:30 ET this afternoon. Other than that, things are quiet in the world of sports, so Hot Clicks will turn its attention to the world of TV. Tom C., of Ramsey, Minn., says "ALICE GRECZYN, ALICE GRECZYN, ALICE GRECZYN! She's not famous (yet), but she has been in plenty of movies and TV shows and she has the look that Hot Clicks seems to love. Enjoy!" Apparently, Greczyn stars in the show Privileged, which airs tonight after the new (and awful) 90210, if you'd like to check her out. Or, you can just click here and here.

More On Moller

In case you missed it yesterday, we posted a video of Florida Panthers play-by-play man Randy Moller, who puts a pop culture spin on his goal calls. Jason Basset, of Saskatoon, comes through with more information. "Jimmy, apparently Randy Moller gets his goal call suggestions on the weekly call-in show that he co-hosts. Details are here."

The Whole Tooth?

Via Detroit4lyfe.com comes this great photo of Detroit pitcher Fernando Rodney, who just happens to be wearing an alligator tooth around his neck during the Tigers' first day of spring training. Rodney, however, won't give the details on how he got the neckwear.

Props For Intellivision

Last week, I linked to a piece that compared pretty much every video game system ever made to college football programs. Well, as Doug, of Shawnee, Kan., points out, one system was omitted -- Intellivision. I don't know how I missed that because I was pretty much the only kid in my school who had Intellivision instead of Atari. Anyway, the point of all this is that Intellivision lives!

Random Sports Links

You gotta see this 1980 rap video made by the San Francisco 49ers ... Totally forgot to link this up yesterday. Steelers kicker Jeff Reed was charged with criminal mischief over the weekend -- for allegedly beating up a towel dispenser at a gas station. ... If you didn't get enough of Bar Refaeli last week, check out her new lingerie shoot.

More follow up on David Letterman's bizarre interview with Joaquin Phoenix last week. Matthew Novak, of Jersey City, N.J., says "Here is probably the best Conan O'Brien interview ever. Norm MacDonald is relentless on Courtney Thorne-Smith and Carrot Top. The whole thing is good, but it gets REALLY good at 5:45, with one of the best off-the-cuff jokes ever from Norm starting at 6:30." Meanwhile, Erik Gestetner, of Winnipeg, sends in this list of Seven Great Talk Show Trainwrecks.

Wrestling Links

Several of you have sent some great wrestling links. Paige Richardson, of South China, Maine, says "I noticed that you post quite a few excellent wrestling videos. Allow me to show you a link of, in my humble opinion, the BEST heel turn in wrestling. Enjoy." Dan Fornal, of Dublin, Ohio, says "I know you are huge old-school wrestling fans AND video game fans. I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, but it's the WWE Legends of Wrestlemania. They are going to have 40 old-school wrestlers in the game and you will be able to Relive, Rewrite, and Redefine classic Wrestlemania matches. The full roster should be unveiled already." And E. Spencer Kyte, of Kimberley, B.C., sends in the 20 Worst Gimmicks in Wrestling History.

Last, But Not Least

Dave, Jeff, Mike, Erik Peterson, Patrick Fitzgerald, Barry Berns and Josh Slayton -- all from Chicago and Joe, of Riverside, Calif., Bryan Murray, of Cincinnati, Sean Turley, of Fishers, Ind., and Jon, of Normal, Ill., all sent me e-mails about the Snuggie Pub Crawl that's taking place in Chicago on April 18. All of you better send me pictures. And even though I featured this Snuggie parody video once before in Hot Clicks, I keep getting e-mails about it (from Randy McNally, of La Crosse, Wisc., Tom Gallagher, of the University of Delaware, Steven, of Chicago, and Mark Rossetti, of Columbus, Ohio), so here it is one more time.
