In perhaps my favorite sports story of the year, suspended Browns receiver Josh Gordon starts working at an Ohio car dealership this weekend. According to ESPN's Josina Anderson, Gordon will be working as a salesman among his other duties. You can't make this stuff up (well, Larry David sorta did). In honor of Gordon, here's a huge gallery of Athletes and Their Cars.
The Perfect Beer For Every NFL Team
Thrillist assigned a beer to every NFL team. Is it Sunday yet?
Aaron Rodgers Meets Hans and Franz
Aaron Rodgers needed to get in shape for the season, so he called Hans and Franz to help pump him up. At least that's the scene in the latest State Farm commercial. No offense to Rogers or State Farm, but couldn't they find something a little more modern? Was the Church Lady busy?
Throwback Lovely Lady of the Day
I really wanted to make the Lovely Miss Elizabeth today's Throwback LLOD to go along with our Divas Week, but I just couldn't find enough photos. I did, however, notice that Rose McGowan turns 41 tomorrow and she starred in that awful pro wrestling movie a few years back. Seems like a good reason to make Rose this week's Throwback LLOD (click here for full-size gallery).
Hot Clicks Giveaway: Skullcandy Headphones
The good people at Skullcandy just introduced their new Sport Performance line and have given me three pair of Method earbuds to give away. As you probably know, Skullcandy completely redesigned the shape of the earbud for a secure fit that’s so comfortable and snug you’ll barely know it’s there. I will send a pair to the 25th, 50th and 75th person who emails me (andy_gray@simail.com) the name of the person A-Rod was eating corn with at Joe's Crab Shack. The answer was in this morning's Hot Clicks. Please make the subject line "SkullCandy."
Update (10:29 p.m.): Contest is over. Winners will be notified tomorrow. Thanks for playing.
