Wed. PM Hot Clicks: Lacey Chabert; Hilarious Marshawn Lynch Ad
Marshawn Lynch In Pest Control Ad
Marshawn Lynch is low-key hilarious, and he's the perfect person for this pest control commercial.
The Month in Sports Dancing
Oklahoma coach Mike Gundy shaking his tailfeather? Steve Young doing the Ray Lewis? Clemson coach Dabo Swinney doing the whip? An old guy doing some thing that doesn’t have a name? It’s all here in Extra Mustard’s roundup of the month in sports dancing. In case you need some music to go with all that dancing, here are Extra Mustard’s Top 10 stadium anthems.
Hot Snowden Content
My friends over at GQ have compiled a list of 10 iconic photos of Edward Snowden softly touching his own face. The polarizing figure recently joined Twitter. You want another photo of a controversial figure? Here’s Donald Trump with a man bun.

Giveaway Time
Football season is in full swing and our friends at Dammit Doll want you to take out your anger and frustration on their dolls. With that in mind, they’ve offered a 20% discount for all Hot Clicks readers. Just visit the Dammit Doll website and use the code “DDWDSI15” to get yours. The code will last until Friday. Even better, they’ve offered me three dolls, which I’ll give to the 100th, 200th and 300th reader to email Sir Andrew (andy_gray@simail.com) the name of Clemson’s oldest living fan. The answer was in A.M. Hot Clicks. Please make the subject line “Win Dammit.”
Update (6:15 a.m.): Contest is over. Winners will be notified. Thanks for playing.
Give Me Civil War
If you’re like me, you’re just biding time until Captain America: Civil War hits theaters. If you need a refresher for the movie, which is still months away, here’s a recap of everything that happened in Marvel’s Phase 2 movies. Also, I’m not entirely convinced Tom Cruise isn’t a superhero after watching this video of him holding his breath underwater for six minutes. I can’t hold my breath for six seconds.
Still Stinging
Muhammad Ali says he wants to be remembered as “the best heavyweight boxer of all time.” To honor Muhammad Ali, whose lifetime of achievement forever changed the world, SI is renaming its Legacy Award the Sports Illustrated Muhammad Ali Legacy Award.
