Obligatory Sports Babe

COED has put together their list of some of the hottest 2010 calendars to be hitting the market this season, and WAG Cheryl Cole (nee Tweedy) made the list. This morning, she’ll do just fine. Or any morning, for that matter.

Andy Murray >>> Greg Rusedski

According to Murray’s World, an all-Andy Murray site that actually does exist, Scottish tennis ace Andy Murray has awesomely hit back at critics who’ve been accusing him of not playing aggressively enough: “Yeah, who are these 'experts'? Barry Cowan? Greg Rusedski? I think I know more about tennis than Barry and Greg. I work very hard with my coaching team to come out with the right game-plan,” he said. “You don't get to be No 2 in the world at anything if you're one-dimensional.”

If you haven’t downloaded a pirated copy of the upcoming It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia Christmas special, good—piracy is theft, and it’s against the law. But if you have seen it, then you already know that it’s pure awesome, if only for the Von Hayes reference during Mac’s rant at the mall, and… well… the whole mall scene… and Danny DeVito in the couch… and… well, pretty much the whole thing. But as a fan of terrible baseball players from the 80s, the Von Hayes part was special to me.

How Gretzky Was Nearly A Whaler

The always interesting Greatest Hockey Legends today gives us the tale of Wayne Gretzky’s first pro contract. “Perhaps the most attractive offer came for the Whalers,” they explain. The Whalers were said to be offering an 8 year contract. I do not know how much it would have been worth per season, but it was reported to have included a $200,000 signing bonus. More importantly, the Whalers were a stable franchise and had a great trump card: Gordie Howe still playing for them.” However, “the Whalers were certain to be included in the NHL jump, which caused the franchise to, perhaps foolishly, withdraw the offer to Gretzky at the last minute. They were worried about committing a lot of money to an underage player when NHL rules at the time clearly prohibited players under 20 to play in the NHL.”
