As you guys know, I'm sorta into Twitter (follow me!). I've been following Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson (@str8edgeracer) for about a year and always found him to be entertaining and interesting. After reading his recent Tweets about his love of Lost and SI Swimsuit model Irina Shayk, I asked Wilson (via some Twitter stalking) if he would do a Q&A for Hot Clicks and he said yes. It turned out to be a long conversation about baseball, Twitter, TV shows, swimsuit models and much more.

No Sex For You!

LeBron James taped an interview with Larry King yesterday that will air on CNN this Friday. One key exchange was the following:

King: You haven't made a decision yet, is that correct?

James: Correct.

King: OK. Would you say, all things being equal, you're close?

James: I'm far from close.

King: Far from close?

James: Yes. I don't -- I don't -- honestly, I haven't -- because July is still a month away, less than a month away. So I haven't -- I haven't began to, you know -- I've thought about it, but I haven't began to strategize exactly.

Here is a transcript from the show.

Also, the third installment of Blogs with Balls takes place this weekend in Chicago. Several top bloggers will speak about their experiences, so if you're in the blog world and can attend, I suggest you do.
