Wednesday's A.M. Hot Clicks: Chrissy Teigen Throws Out First Pitch

Look Out, Clayton Kershaw

SI Swimsuit model ChrissyTeigenthrew out the first pitch of last night's Dodgers-Angels game. And since it's Aug. 6 and there's very little going on in the sports world, I'm leading Hot Clicks with this important athletic achievement. It also gives me a reason to post this photo of Teigen in body paint, which I think is the single best SI Swimsuit picture of the last few years. And here's a gallery of celebrity first pitches in 2014.

Welcome to Human Foosball

Yes, human foosball is now a thing. It's the brainchild of Mark Kacka, a Minnesota resident who was looking for a way to keep the children of his town busy after school closed down. 

McDonald's Tackles Race Issue

McDonald's announced that its next series of Happy Meal toys will be NFL figurines. For some reason, however, the company made Drew Brees black and Richard Sherman white.

Lovely Lady of the Day

I spent some time on the the Playboy Instagram feed this morning (for research purposes, of course), and came across the beautiful Beth Williams, Miss August 2012. She's long overdue for LLOD honors (click here for full-size gallery). 

New Feud Alert: Pacman Jones v. Ludacris. I think.

Not sure what motivated this, but Ludacris took a shot at Pacman Joneswith an Instagram collage of a heavyset woman on the shoulders of an unidentified man next to a photo of Jones in a neck brace. The implication being (I guess) that Jones injured his neck in a similar way. The Bengals cornerback, predictably, didn't find it very funny and went off on the rapper, calling him a p***y.  This whole thing is bizarre and I feel like there is a lot more going on that I don't know about. But I love a good rapper-athlete feud.

From the SI Vault

Chris Bosh is jumping into the men's fashion world with his own line of ties. This, of course, gives me a good excuse to bust out this 2008 photo of Bosh being a cowboy. I interviewed the Heat center in February and asked him about this photo. His response:  "It was my idea. It just comes from a lot more free time. I didn't have a family back then and was having fun. The pressures of winning wasn't as great back then and I had some free time to do things. I just wanted to show my creative side a little it, make people laugh and have a good time."

Two (really bored) junior hockey players are recreating classic movie posters ... This is an interesting painting of Tom Brady ... I want George Costanza underwear...
