Obviously, the biggest story today is the tragedy that took place in Texas last night. A Rangers fan (he was a firefighter, according to reports) fell out of the stands while trying to catch a ball. The fan died, as his son looked on. The story is heartbreaking and there's not much to add to it. If anyone hears of any charity undertakings to help the family or anything like that, please let me know and Hot Clicks will try to help out. Now, Hot Clicks has to try and do what it sets out to do each day and entertain/amuse you. This video of a kid dancing to Michael Jackson's Thriller at last Friday's Mariners game is a great place to start.

The highlight of this weekend (if you have HBO) is the return of Curb Your Enthusiasm. The NFL Network's Rich Eisen recently interviewed Larry David and most of the cast for his podcast (there's video, too). There is plenty of sports talk, including Larry hilariously going off on the NFL's zone defense and Eisen comparing Larry to Brett Favre for his constant waffling on coming back to do another season.

Happy Return
