It was a very unproductive night here at D4L HQ between the internets eating my first attempt at a links post and spending two hours watching Letterman Top 10 clips on Youtube.
- I made a big deal yesterday about Lindsey Vonn and her
hottnessOlympic chances. Apparently I’m a big, fat jinx. Lindsey is listed as questionable for the Olympics due to a shin injury that she called the “most painful injury of her career.” I don’t know much about skiing, but Nicklas Lidstrom played hockey with one good ball last year. I’m just sayin’…
- The Atlanta Braves beat the Tigers to the punch yesterday, offering Johnny Damon a one year contract. Damon hasn’t accepted the offer because he’s still
looking for a two year dealdelusional. The Braves blogosphere has mixed feelings on the matter: Talking Chop is anti-Damon, while Chop-n-Change is all for some outfield depth.
- Speaking of baseball, fantasy baseball is up and running on both Yahoo! and ESPN. I’m excited to draft six teams in four days, then forget about all of them by May. I’m also a big fan of taking Tigers way too early. If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to check out Fantasy Hurler’s preview of the Tigers’ best and worst fantasy options in 2010.
- I have no idea how I missed this, but the New York Yankees will stop at nothing to make me hate them even more. Marcus “Country Strong” Thames signed a minor-league contract with the Evil Empire on Monday. [via Bless You Boys]
- The Washington Capitals’ 14-game win streak was snapped tonight in Montreal. Both Japers’ Rink and Fight for Old DC have their respective thoughts on the streak. Make sure you check out Old DC for one of the sweetest photoshops I have ever seen.
- The Basketball Jones is heading to Dallas for this weekend’s All Star activities. Skeets and Tas absolutely killed it in Phoenix last year and I’m excited to see what happens with a year under their belts.
- A lot of Red Wings sites had something to say about last night’s slip up by the Versus crew. Darren McCarty reverts to his 15-year old self after hearing the phrase “speaking of enormous loads.” A big-time shout-out in tomorrow’s links post goes to anyone that can find me a better video.
- I’m so doing this when I move to D.C. next year. Gettin’ that fo’ sho. [via Hot Clicks]
- I’m so NOT doing this when I move to D.C. next year. [via Busted Coverage]
Rob’s Highlight of the Day
Postponed until I find video of Amare Stoudemire’s submission for “Dunk of the Year” over Portland’s Dante Cunningham. Until then, check it out in the game highlights (at the 0:55 mark). UPDATE: Short version finally available.
