Friday Afternoon Nap - October 17th

costanzanapping

The weekend's coming. Your hangover from last night is probably just starting to clear up. You just had a big meal, and for the next couple of hours, you're on cruise control.

I hear that.

Take my hand. We'll get through this together.

This will help pass the time...

 


- Home Run Derby noticed a funny thing about CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin during a recent presidential debate: he was following game two of the NLDS on MLB.com.

- The Sports Culture is asking its readers to help them rank the top cheerleading squads of all the schools in the Pac-10, SEC, and the Big 12. With ample visuals, of course. First up, the girls of Oregon.

- North Americans have a lot to learn about streaking. Principally, that it should only be done by smoking hot young women. You win again, Europe. (NSFW)

- A wicked Flickr gallery of 1940s war posters-- many of which, I should warn, are pretty virulently racist, but, y'know... still quite interesting.

- Big League Stew takes us back to 1993, the last time the Phillies were in the World Series. Ahhhh, memories. Horrifically uncomfortable memories.

- Awful Announcing has a great video of Mark Schlereth torching any possibility of him ever getting any kind of inside access to the NFL commissioners' office.

- Deadspin has a half-decent preview of this weekend's UFC 89 match-ups.

- From the what the fucking fuck file: Sports By Brooks scans Variety, apparently, and they've come up with this confusing nugget: Brad Pitt has been tabbed to play Billy Beane in a big-screen adaptation of Moneyball.

- Some funny moments in mixed messages, which have been noticed by about 7,000 other websites today...

- If you don't already hate Jonathan Papelbon, please take a look at this picture from last night that With Leather found, and then try to tell me you don't want to punch him in the face.

- And now for the video portion of our nap. First up, an average Philadelphia Eagles fan...

Now, how about the classic second Powerthirst ad...

And lastly, it's a Japanese TV show recreating We Are The World with vague, Japanese look-alikes of the original stars.

I can't be the only one who wishes with every Papelbon pitch that whoever's at bat hits a comebacker right off his jaw.

I'm also pretty sure this makes me an awful person, but I don't care.

I'm also convinced that he's going to murder someone someday.  Maybe whoever hits that comebacker.
