Friendship has been a major theme in sports the past few days. Whether it's Tom Brady chasing Julian "My Guy" Edelman down in the endzone or Boogie Cousins fist-pounding Omri Casspi for fixing his headband, athletes are going the extra mile to show their love. On Sunday, Caroline Wozniacki ran the NYC Marathon and Serena Williams was at the finish line to greet her. The two tennis stars have become great friends in the months sinceRory McIlory unceremoniously dumped Wozniacki over the phone. Here's a closer look at their friendship.

A-Rod Urine Update

I don't think there are going to be any holiday card exchanges this year between Alex Rodriguez and the Sucart family. Yuri Succart is the cousin to whom A-Rod gave hush money to keep silent about his PED use. “I want you to put this in the paper,” Sucart's wife, Carmen, told the New York Daily News. “Alex is so poor, the only thing he has is money. He sleeps with his money, he will die with his money.” And if that isn't enough, Carmen also says that A-Rod once peed on a wall in the Sucart family home (which he owned) to mark it as his territory.

Best Rants and Meltdowns in Sports History

In honor of golfer Patrick Reed, we've collected the best rants and meltdowns of all time. Michigan women's hoops coach Kevin Borseth remains my fave.

Throwback Lovely Lady of the Day

Teri Hatcher ran the NYC Marathon. Now that she has been named the Hot Clicks Throwback LLOD, we can be sure that finishing the race was only the second-best part of her week (click here for full-size gallery). 

Hot Clicks Giveaway: New Era Caps

It's getting cold. You need to keep your head warm. That's where we come in. Our friends at New Era are excited about their line of winter knit hats and have given me four to give away. New Era is the official headwear of MLB and the NFL, has hundreds of licenses, collaborates with high profile personalities (ranging from Jeremy Scott to Kid Cudi) and is regularly seen on such A-list celebrities as Ashton Kutcher, Jay Z and Rihanna. I'll send hats (you can choose your team) to the 25th, 50th, 75th and 100th emailers who can tell me (andy_gray@simail.com) the name of the singer who ignored Tim Tebow at the Country Music Awards last night. The answer was in A.M. Hot Clicks. Please make the subject line "New Era."

Update (6:23 a.m.): Contest is closed. Winners have been notified. Thanks!
