Rob’s writing a paper on the correlation between the opening weekend of March Madness and student absences at schools around the nation (or that’s what I’d like to think he’s got a paper on), so I’m your man for the links today. No, no, stop. Don’t X out. It won’t be that bad. Why am I yelling? I have a disease!
- You probably remember when Red Wings’ rookie goalie, Jimmy Howard, gave Sidney Criesby’s ugly face a little face wash after Monday night’s game. As I mentioned in that post, there’s a Facebook group that’s blowing up (18,000 fans!), but now you can actually get a t-shirt that has a photoshop image commemorating the epic diver’s facial cleansing. Pens fans don’t know what the big deal is about all this, but then again, they love their douchey captain and are probably in denial about the guy wearing the A that should be wearing the C.
- I learned at a very young age, thanks to Gordon Bombay, that Ducks fly together. There were no Ducks flying together here — just a lot of punches from a Canucks’ fan flying into the face of a Ducks’ fan. This is one of the best, single-sided, fights I’ve seen, since Probert/Domi.

- And if you want to see a fight on the ice that’s not as impressive, but lasts a little bit longer, then here’s a 3-minute hockey fight.
- Back in February, some kid had the balls to embarrass himself in order to land a prom date with none other than Maxim pinup girl, Arianny Celeste. Well, the prom was last weekend and it went well, apparently. For fun, here’s 48 hot ass pics of Celeste.
- Maxim asked some NFL players what their favorite curse words are and as a result, we get a bunch of bleeps. Three questions, though: 1) Why did they bleep out Mark Sanchez? It appears that all he says is ‘poop.’ 2) Why was Shaun Alexander included? a) He’s sucks now/semi-retired; and b) he gave a complete sentence, which clearly breaks rules. 3) What do you think Stafford’s favorite cuss word is? I do like the Eli Manning finish. It’s a nice touch for an otherwise coarse clip.
- Zack Follet is kind enough to give LIons’ fans an MTV Cribs’ style look into his apartment, but why is he talking like a homes? Either way, it reminds me of Jonas Jerebko’s Swedish version. [via Joey Blue Skies]
More random links after the jump, okay?
- Ozzie Guillen’s twitter page is turning heads, but Jim Leyland’s faux-page is still better.
- Sharapova’s Thigh has long been running a stellar series on Random Retro baseball players. This edition’s is former Tager, Bill Gullickson. Gullickson, who pitched four seasons with the Tigers, won 20 games for the then East Division team and was one of my favorite pitchers simply because of his last name. That last name is a classic.
- April 9th will be Ernie Harwell Day. I fully expect there to be, like, 100 other days, at least, just like this.
- The Tigers have three vets going after the final two spots in the rotation. Unfortunately, two of the three make me extremely nervous.
- Tina Fey imitates Tracy Morgan, and I approve. “You look like you should be married to one of the San Diego Padres.”
That should do it. Make sure you check back later today/tomorrow for my annual Fantasy Baseball post.
