Mid-Holiday Linkstravaganza

+ Merry Christmas everyone, if you celebrate, and here's hoping that during the holiday season, you were able to hang out with people who know how to have fun the way that the family in this "Drunk Santa Falls Off Roof" video do...

+ And here's hoping you didn't get locked into any conversations with relatives who were as shitbombed as Jeff Goldblum in one of those incredibly amazing slowed-down "Drunk Jeff Goldblum" videos. Like this one...

+ With Leather has a rather outstanding gallery of Paraguayan javelin-thrower Leryn Franco, if you're into that sort of thing. (Note: you probably are).

+ Or, if you prefer your objectification of female athletes to be somewhat less real, here are some "girls of boxing" who are almost certainly not boxers, but are very definitely girls.

+ Bonzi Wells may better than your average Chinese Basketball Association player. He dropped 48 in his debut, helping the Shanxi Zhongyu to a 107-106 win over Tianjin.

+ Apparently it's news that some announcer guy didn't see the problem with describing a bunch of flakes being chipped off a Notre Dame player's helmet in a collision as creating a "golden shower". Hmm...

+ Yes, there absolutely is reason to tune in on Sunday to see whether the Detroit Lions' season ends in an historic 0-16, or a pathetic 1-15.

+ Mark Cuban gives his thoughts on the importance of newspapers when it comes to sports, and suggests a "beat-writer cooperative", to ensure teams get ample coverage. No, seriously.

+ One of these things is not like the other... An AP headline this week read: Weapons, ammo, pants seized at Burress' NJ home.

+ A woman called "Superhead"-- which, yes, means what you think-- is upset because Jermain O'Neal doesn't know how to treat a lady. Um...

+ Making the MVP case for... Chad Pennington?

+ The Times of London with an unfortunate-- at best-- choice of words to title their article on the two pitchers from India who've signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

+ The Vanity Plates of the Internets that have slipped past those clever DMV folks are pretty much by far the greatest things anyone has ever seen. But you should really be the judge of that...

+ Sticking with cars, here's "the luckiest idiot in the world". How the fuck!

+ And lastly, it's Sidney Crosby going for the old fashioned ball punch. "So if you're not a big 'star' in the NHL," Deadspin writes, "Watch your junk, because Sid the Kid is a cheap-shoting, teste-punching machine. And there's nobody upstairs that intends to stop him."

Shit! Thanks. I keep doing that! Too many damaged brain cells I guess. I copied it and then forgot to paste it, I think.
