It's Friday again already? What the hell?

So now, you've got to figure out a way to kill off the next couple of hours. You just ate a big meal, and things are getting awfully drowsy. Maybe it doesn't quite feel like Friday just yet. Maybe yesterday was a complete and total write-off of a non-day. . . Perhaps you still somehow felt like garbage this morning. Perhaps it hasn't got much better.

Five o'clock is coming like a freight train, but first you've got to get through these next couple of excruciating hours. Don't worry... this will help. . .

+ Bacon flavoured vodka is an actual thing, and it sounds amazing. (And here you thought you wouldn't be able to think about drinking again for at least several more hours... or was that just me?) [Yes But No But Yes]

+ Grading the NFL Pre-Game Shows. [USA Today]

+ Phil Mushnick blames "media enablers" for Charles Barkley's recent DUI situation. What... not Jaleel White? Or, I dunno, maybe Charles Barkley? [NY Post]

+ Moving the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl, instead of the week after, is not going to make the game stop being completely useless. (But hey, maybe a handful more people will tune into the NHL All-Star Game now... eh?) [The Big Lead]

+ Ice girls at the Winter Classic? "Invading storied American parks with a Canadian game and somehow working hot chicks into the equation makes this an emerging must-visit event for sports fans." [Busted Coverage]

+ More love for the Winter Classic. And screen shots of Bobby Hull's leopard earmuffs. WTF? [Busted Coverage]

+ A picture of Vince Vaughn and Gary Bettman leads to a clip of the classic making Gretzky's head bleed scene in Swingers-- and almost makes you forget about how much Vince has aged. Almost. [Gunaxin]

+ St. Louis Blues fan buys a #40 jersey-- the name on the back? Ounces. Solid. [Joe Sports Fan]

+ A dude bikes 180 miles, from Havre de Grace, MD to Scranton, PA, to have sex with a fifteen year old. Yikes. [Sports By Brooks]

+ Don Larsen flies from Seattle to New York to discuss his World Series perfect game with the MLB Network. It takes him 60 hours to get there. [Seattle Times]

+ For those of you living under a rock, here (again) is what Thomas Jones said about Brett Favre. [Sports By Brooks]

+ This picture has been around at least a year-- why am I only seeing it now?!??!?!?

+ Bob Costas has some parting words for 2008. [Tirico Suave]

+ Robbie Madison is one hell of a daredevil. [With Leather]
