Jimmy Garoppolo has been a Patriot for less than a week but he already has Tom Brady beat in one important department ... his looks. Outsports.com asked its readers 'Who is hotter: Tommy or Jimmy,' and Garoppolo received 79% of the votes. All he needs now is a model to date. May I suggest today's LLOD Samantha Hoopes?
Los Angeles Hates Justin Bieber
The pop star was shown on the scoreboard during Sunday's Clippers-Thunder game, where he was met with a chorus of boos from the Staples Center crowd. Maybe Bieber, a native of Ontario, Canada, should stick to attending hockey. He has already been banned from Heat games and Los Angeles clearly wants nothing to do with him.

Tuesday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Samantha Hoopes stopped by the office yesterday, where she met the Larry O'Brien Trophy, hung out with fellow SI Swimsuit model Jessica Gomes and played a fun game of "Would You Rather," which I've embedded in the video section below. She also takes home today's LLOD honors.
Yasiel Puig Celebrates Yasiel Puig
The Dodgers outfielder killed some time before Monday's game against the Marlins by playing MLB 14: The Show, and celebrated like a champ after hitting a walk-off grand slam as himself.
The House That Johnny Built?
Texas A&M is spending $450 million to renovate Kyle Field, and if one school regent has his way, the stadium will also undergo a renovation of its name. Speaking at a construction update yesterday in College Station, Texas A&M regent Jim Schwertner said he wanted Kyle Field renamed to "Kyle Field: The House that Johnny Built."

Kellar, the Blind Dog, Plays Fetch
This is a little old but still awesome. From the video description: "Kellar was originally trained to play ball with the commands 'hot' and 'cold'. We later added 'warmer', 'passed it', 'left' and 'right'. The process took about a week for the basic commands."
