Weekend on the Links: A Wintry Mix

Whoa boy, it’s really coming down out there. Here are some links for your (possibly) snowy weekend. I’m sure as hell not going anywhere today, so check back later on, too, as there’ll be another post in the afternoon. Anyway, here are you links. Enjoy:

• The Penguins-Flyers Game on Tuesday had not one, not two, but three fights…in the first 5 minutes of the game. Crazy. Luckily MondesisHouse has them all in one place.
• This is kind of like an anti-link. It’s Bill Simmons and Malcolm Gladwell exchanging e-mails. While I’m normally a fan of Simmons, I am  not a fan of Gladwell…he doesn’t really have anything to say ever, just nice turns of phrase. Anyway, I think he brings Simmons down a level, and while they readily admit that they’re doing this promote their new books…they neglect to tell us that they’re also doing this to successively and increasingly soothe their own self-aggrandizing egos. Annnnnnd, end rant.     
• This song is awesome. It is, of course, an old Bob Dylan song, done by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova of Once fame. That should get the bad thoughts of Bill Simmons and Malcolm Gladwell kissing each other’s asses out of you mind.

• I admit, I’m the world’s biggest sucker for Friday Night Lights. And I would follow Coach Eric Taylor to the ends of the earth.

• I’m not sure what’s so fascinating about watching a fake QB go through about a quarter of his throwing motion over and over. But for some reason, I can’t stop watching this from Tirico Suave.
• From Ball Don’t Lie…I’ll be upfront with you, this is a little bit terrifying.
• Finally, it’s not all that funny, most of the time, but there are some gems, and amazingly, Danny DeVito somehow manages to make his tweets sound like the way he talks. Do your self a favor and follow him twitter. 9 out of 10 make zero sense, but that one in ten is worth it.

All right, enjoy your hot chocolate and college basketball. I’m gonna go shovel some snow. Be back later.
