Hot Clicks

Survey Says...

Some of you may remember the "Sports or Women" survey Hot Clicks linked to last week. Well, the results are in. I have to take issue, however, with one question. We were asked, "Which article link would you be more likely to click on?" The choices given were "Your favorite team signs a major free agent" or "New pictures of Maria Sharapova." Obviously, free agent won in a landslide. I'd like to see the results of the question if the choice was changed from Sharapova, who is just blah, to someone like, say, Raquel Alessi. Now, do I know who Raquel Alessi is? Of course not. But I got an e-mail from Devon, of San Diego, yesterday that said "Alice Greczyn has nothin' compared to Raquel Alessi." And lucky for us, Devon provided this link.

More Postgame Shows Should Be Like This

I have no idea what the hell is going on in this clip featuring Gary Payton, Kenny Smith and Chris Webber, but there's beatboxing, dancing and a GREAT shot of Charles Barkley at the 2:12 mark. Speaking of Barkley, he returns to the TNT studio show tomorrow night and he's about to star in a golf-themed reality show.

Cricket Catch -- Yes, Cricket!

I received two e-mails yesterday about an amazing cricket catch. When I get two cricket e-mails in one day, I know something is up. And the clip lived up the expectations. (Thanks to Robert, of Melbourne, Australia, for the link.)

Cool (Or Creepy) Collectibles

Bruce Pearl, Erin Andrews

See that autographed Bruce Pearl/Erin Andrews photo? It's on eBay for $29.99. How do I know this? No, I'm not stalking Erin Andrews again. Busted Coverage had done some investigative journalism and has come up with the "Top 10 Hot Chicks With Must Have Collectibles." The items range from a Suzy Kolber Fan Mask Cutout to a Leryn Franco SportWeek Magazine to a Stacy Keibler Valentine's Clothing Set.

Even Chris Cooley Writes Lists

Chris Cooley has unveiled his top 19 things about his Pro Bowl experience. Here is a sampling: "Karaoke only gets better when Dixieland Delight comes on, and I know this may sound a little weird but, but it really gets better when Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance with Somebody is playing." And "Colt Brennan is the Tom Brady of Hawaii."

Random Links

Larry Johnson is dating Chilli from TLC, and I'm not gonna lie. I love me some No Scrubs. ... Check out the left hook Zach Randolph unleashed on the Suns Louis Amundson last night. ... Carrie Underwood got all camera shy while cheering on boyfriend and Ottawa Senator center Mike Fisher.

The Best Site On The 'Net

Up until yesterday, my favorite Web site was TVTattle.com. A no-frills, plain-as-can-be site that just puts up TV links every day. Well, TVTattle is now second on the list. Thanks to Jeff, of Brooklyn, N.Y., I'm now addicted to FMyLife.com. (Warning: Link contains strong language.)

Sports Video Of The Day

I'm not really impressed by the shot as much as I am by the mascot fitting through the hoop.

Oscars Video Of The Day

Every Best Picture winner in Oscar history spoiled in less than five minutes.

The Office Video Of The Day

Grayson, of Red Hook, N.Y., says "Since you never talk about the best show on television, here is a good reason to start, even though you shouldn't need one."

'80s Video Of The Day

It'll be hard to top yesterday's Billy Squier video, especially since several of you wrote in to ask if Squirer was related to Richard Simmons. Anyway, Patrick Smith, of Minneapolis, comes through with today's offering. He says "To go along with your creepy '80s video series, here is the ultimate. Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol. Post-apocalyptic world, check. Zombies, check. Billy Idol, check. Said zombies killing Billy Idol, che...wait...what?"
