The highlight of San Francisco's 20-3 win over Pittsburgh last night did not take place on the field. It was the power going out in Candlestick Park -- twice. The first time it went out, a transformer blew and the scene looked like something out of a sci-fi flick. Actually, even more absurd than the power going out twice, was the conspiracy theory floated by Pittsburgh safety Ryan Clark after the game. Clark said the Niners intentionally cut the power to show the NFL they need a new stadium.

This circular graphic that connects every NFL team based on wins and losses this season is worth checking out, if for nothing else, to remind you that the Rams beat the Saints this season.
Very Cool
Aaron Sidder, of Denver, says, "Yo, Jimmy. I played fantasy baseball with this guy this past season. He had a resurgent team. Now, after losing a bet when the Pats beat the Broncos, he has a tattoo ofBill Belichick's signature."

Anyone who reads Hot Clicks knows that we love when absurd things happen on live TV. Puck Daddy has come through with quite the gem for us: Fan in the front row at last night's Ducks-Stars game acts like a doofus while Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau is being interviewed. Fan turns around, reveals graphic name, and number on jersey. Announcers ignore it. (Thanks to Daniel Reinhold, of Dallas, for the link.)

Giveaway Of The Day
Warrior
Approximately 40 people in Provo got together over the weekend to chug egg nog and see how long they could run before regurgitating. The first two minutes of this video are oddly intriguing: The combination of people throwing up egg nog as Johnny Mathis' It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas plays in the background is oddly mesmerizing. (Thanks to Chris Bowerbank, of Lehi, Utah, for the link.)

Far be it from me to tell someone else how to do their job, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this ISN'T how you should deliver a computer monitor.
