Since you’re likely well-rested after last night’s snoozer of a Fiesta Bowl (yeah, it was close but I was expecting better), you’re probably up early and ready to enjoy your D4L links with your Tasty Wheat.
- As I write this, the Washington Redskins have not yet announced Mike Shanahan as their head coach. Shutdown Corner looks at whether the ‘Skins have complied with the Rooney Rule, the clause that requires teams to interview a qualified minority candidate for head coaching vacancies. Personally, I think the ‘Skins made up the interview as a way to skirt around the policy before pursuing Shanahan. I’d like to see the NFL look into this a bit more.
- One story we’ve failed to mention here at D4L over the last few days is the controversy surrounding Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton pulling guns on each other in the locker room. For the full story, check out Agent Dagger, your Bloguin source for Wizards news. Agent Zero is claiming that the guns were part of a practical joke gone wrong. Looks like someone needs to school Gil on the finer points of his “gun show” joke. Dwight?
- Lost in the news of Jim Zorn’s firing were the other casualties of Black Monday. New York Giants defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan was deservedly fired after
sucking all yearcosting me a chance at a fantasy football championship by letting Jonathan Stewart run wild against his defense in Week 16, while the Buffalo Bills fired everybody. Yeah, even that weird guy in accounting with the glasses who mumbles to himself.
- Apparently this is the Kissing Suzy Kolber post I meant to link yesterday. And yes, that is exactly what went through the collective mind of everyone living in Massachusetts and the other states up there that I forgot from 8th grade geography. The video below documents what these people are thinking during the other 99% of their existence.
- At Snipe Snipe, Dangle Dangle, Kris is coming up with some new rules for the new decade. Though I think her “waking before 8 AM” rule should be changed to 10 AM. Or noon.
- Over at It’s Just Sports, Detroit superblogger Al Beaton has the final edition of Lions Facepalms for this season. If you’re going to miss Al too much over the next 8 months, check out his work at Bless You Boys and The Wayne Fontes Experience.
- One site you might want to bookmark for the next few months is Rakes of Mallow, a Notre Dame blog at SB Nation. Why? With the St. Louis Rams in need of a QB and Jimmy Clausen as the consensus #1 QB in the draft (unless you live in Oklahoma), the Lions still have a good shot at Nebraska
GodDT Ndamukong Suh. Rakes takes a look at where Clausen could possibly end up. With their still-unhealthy level of obsession over Brady Quinn, it’s safe to say there will be much more Clausen coverage there in the near future.
- The bowl season isn’t over yet, but Guyism has 10 of the best pictures from this year’s bowl season so far. I don’t know why Jim Tressel is in there, but the other 9 are pretty cool.
- You’d think that if your only job was to blow shit up, you’d use more dynamite to take down a fucking skyscraper. Check out the fail below. [via Hot Clicks]

Chandler Parsons (no, not the dude from Friends) hits a 60-foot 3 pointer to give the Florida Gators a one point win over North Carolina State on Sunday night. [via Guyism]
