The Madness Begins

We are going to keep the introduction to this week's Link Dump dump short because the tournament begins next week and that means the fine "folks" at GameTime, TBD© will be filling out about a thousand brackets this weekend and we can not afford to have hand fatigue or cramping.

That being said, we are working on some changes for the site that will hopefully raise its profile a little. As you may have noticed, GameTime, TBD© broke some news about its favorite sports talk personality late last night (though a formal announcement from DP on today's show would have been nice). While it may have been the first "scoop" we have gotten here, we certainly hope it will not be the last. We are starting to work the phones more because we know a guy. We also hope to tackle some more noteworthy topics to broaden our potential fan base (apparently there aren't that many Los Angeles Kings/Detroit Lions combo fans out there . . . go figure). The proverbial "we" might become an actual "we" if things go well. But we do not want to get ahead of ourselves. A lot of brainstorming is left to be done and that likely means a lot of drinking . . . which means a hangover . . . and then the snowball picks up speed.

So, while "we" get down to business on the future of this little corner of the world wide web, here are some things you might have missed:

• In non-sports (while, I guess that depends on your definition of sports) related news: a woman, a saber saw, and sex toy walk into a bar . . .
• Travis Henry never learned to run behind his blockers (with bonus update).
• It seems more and more likely Andre Smith is just the guy the Lions are looking for with that first overall pick.
• Come for Gisele (that's what she said . . . ba-ZING!), stay for her calling Tom a child.
• When a pair of scissors to the head is just not enough, go with the knife to the neck.
• Today's obscure sports/hot chicks showcase is brought to you by . . . (spins wheel) . . . Woodsmen Contests.
• Golf certainly changed while Tiger was away.
• "Oh, man. That was so much easier than putting. I should just try to get the ball in one shot every time."
• Do not touch this man's balls.
• Sixth-Man-of-the-Year race was pretty tight in Conference USA. And you still probably think Memphis deserves a one seed.
• It is nice to see someone finally back up a sports guarantee . . . with their father's checkbook.
• Eric Bedard, pitcher and catcher?
• This week's feel good story, compliments of Rick Reilly . . . again.

And what would a Link Dump be if we did not provide you with something for you viewing pleasure? It dawned on "us" that anyone who happened to stumble across a Link Dump for the first time might think this is the section of the post where they can attractive ladies. How dare they think The Chief would stoop so low as to use a little T&A to gain attention for GameTime, TBD© (note to self: add "more attractive women content" to list of ideas). For those of you who are new to this glorious little site, here are some videos (non-pornographic) that will help you get through the rest of your Friday afternoon:

• Kids these days are so lazy. When I was younger we dribbled to the basket . . . 3 miles . . . in the snow . . . uphill both ways.
• Who knew Hitler was such a big Bills fan?
• Selection Sunday . . . Monday . . . and Tuesday.
• Nunchucks, FTW!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!
