Friday's Hot Clicks: Sofia Jamora; Meet the most undateable man in New York City
The most undateable man in NYC
Time Out New York
It's the Friday before the Fourth of July holiday weekend, and hopefully you all will be spending the next few days with your significant other. Unless you're Billy Peck, that is. You see, Billy went on a date with Alyssa for Time Out New York's weekly series The Undateables. Everything seemed to go pretty well on Alyssa's end, but Billy had other opinions of the date, which has made him the most disliked person on the internet (or a close second to me right now).
Knicks can't spell (and other problems)
There is a lot going on with the Knicks. John Calipari is rumored to be "very interested" in the team's vacant presidency, though the team appears to have their eyes on Masai Uijri and David Griffin. Carmelo Anthony is dying to get out, and reports are that he chewed out Kristaps Porzingis last year for praising the Triangle Offense. And if all that's not enough, the team completely butchered the spelling of their rookie's (Frank Ntilikina) name.
Any NBA teams looking for a 61-year-old grandpa?
Calvin Roberts, who was a fourth-round draft pick of the Spurs in 1980 and played 15 years oversees, is looking to hook up with a team for Vegas Summer League and hopefully land a roster spot for the upcoming season.
Lovely Lady of the Day
Dave from Seattle requested that I make Sofia Jamora today's LLOD, and I think that's an excellent suggestion (click for full-size gallery).
Jimmy Butler is probably on the phone right now
Over the past few years, Twitter has become a way for athletes to speak directly to fans. Jimmy Butler has other ideas. The Timberwolves' latest addition gave out his phone number at his introductory press conference and has been taking calls from fans.
Cornhole golf is now a thing
Summer just got a little bit better.

​Hot Clicks Giveaway
Dogfish Head is excited to share that fans of craft beer cans CAN enjoy SeaQuench Ale, Flesh & Blood IPA, and 60 Minute IPA in cans. The man behind the can, Sam Calagione, founded Dogfish Head in 1995, and has worked tirelessly since then to keep gastronomic innovation at the forefront of the brewing process. Consistently committed to using all-natural, fresh culinary ingredients to create its unique flavors, the Delaware brewery draws inspiration from remarkably off-centered places. As luck would have it, I have five Dogfish cooler bags to give away. I'll send to the 40th, 80th, 100th, 150th and 200th person to email me (andy_gray@simail.com) one of the changes the Hawks are making to Phillips Arena. The answer was in yesterday's Clicks. Please make the subject line "Dogfish."
