Happy Leap Day!
- I don't recall a time when a 1-in-8 chance of something occurring seemed so... scary.
- Apparently Tiger Woods almost quit golf to become a Navy SEAL. No idea how true that is.
- In Celebration of Leap Day – 29 Reasons Why DD Fans Keep Us [DD] Running.
- We're close to a 10-team playoff in baseball. Whatever.
- RIP Davy Jones.

- Welp, James Spader is gone from The Office... effective immediately? I dunno. The show probably won't even have a ninth season, and if it does, it'll manage to be worse than this one.
- Reducer.
- I'm happy that someone else was annoyed with Meryl Streep. She got way too much love from my Facebook friends.
- Funbag.
- Nick Offerman rules.

"We made it for one year or 51 weeks (I think). Good enough for me. I’ve had a good time learning about other people and I hope you have too. I think List Fun has run its course and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading and writing for it. THE END!"
Perhaps it's just a temporary thing, or perhaps Matt'll come out with a new feature. Either way, let's applaud the accomplishments of List Fun, at least thus far.
UPDATE - Looks like we've got one more week! Check out List Fun's swan song - Cosmo's top 5 favorite things about living with Matt and Megan.
- You're probably tired of any Ryan Braun news. And I am too, to be honest. But I still enjoyed this article.
- Championship week has begun! [via Matt]
- Bristolmetrics - "Nearly 45 percent of the NBA coverage this week was Knick-focused."
- Greed isn't good, yada yada yada. Mo money, mo problems.

- This isn't the funniest mock-Apple ad, but I'm still going to share it. This commercial is always on, and I hate it so much.
- Is Ben & Jerry's new ice cream flavor, "Taste The Lin-Sanity," which features fortune cookie pieces, racist?
- Well, now you officially can't like Napoli.
- GMiDHF.
- Too much Ryan Braun shit today. See a lot of it here.

- Do you hate the Oscars? Maybe this hater's guide will make you happy. Or maybe it'll be just as annoying as the Oscars, who knows?
- I applaud Uni Watch (Paul Lukas) for doing exactly what he's supposed to do: dissect uniforms. This time, he's taking a look at spring training caps.
- Here's a kind of interesting look into the world of Parks and Recreation.
- When I used to use an iPod Touch, I hated that it automatically appended "sent from my iPod Touch" to any email that I sent. So seeing that people would actually pay to have that appended to messages sent from their non-Apple devices surprises and depresses me. Also, I have no idea what's stopping people from just using that as their default signature instead...
- Ryan Braun = not guilty!
UPDATE - Sort of.

- Thierry Henry is putting a 40-foot fish tank in his house. This prompted the author of the article to note, "If Henry wanted to see something witlessly float around without achieving anything, he should just watch some of Andrei Arshavin's recent highlights." :-(
- Temple is apparently in talks about joining the Big East. At one point in time, before all this conference shuffling business, I was able to list all (or most...) of the teams in the six major conferences. Now I have absolutely no clue. Any team could be anywhere, I really don't remember. But I can still get the Big Ten right!
- In 1999, Bill Simmons listed the top 20 worst fans in sports. Atlanta came in first, which I don't really agree with at all.
- People are making a big deal about Google's new privacy policy and how it converges all of your history across Google apps. I guess tonight is the last chance you'll get to clear all of your data before the new policy goes into effect.
- Daniel von Bargen (Kruger from Seinfeld) attempted suicide by shooting himself in the temple. He's now in critical condition. Yikes.

- Comcast is coming out with Streampix, which is set to rival Netflix and other streaming services. It'll be free for Comcast users with internet and cable, and $4.99/month for users with just Comcast cable. If they've got good stuff, seems like it'd be worthwhile.

- Although it's several months late, I still enjoyed reading Sam Fuld's analysis of Game 162 last season.
- Awwwwwww.
- Curling is a remarkably endearing subculture - and hey, it's better than football!
- Bristolmetrics - "The NHL needed six weeks to log more than 50 minutes total ofSportsCenter airtime; in a single week, the Knicks got 58.5 minutes all by themselves."

- GMiDHF.
- The Astros will have throwback uniforms of the Houston Colt .45s, but they're taking removing the gun. Now they just look stupid.
It's Friday. Three things is all you get. Sorry.
- OK, fine, here's a fourth - BA.

- If you want to get in shape but are too lazy/busy to spend lots of time working out, there may be a workable solution.
- Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) is not very good, so why not look forward to 10.8 (Mountain Lion)?
UPDATE 1 - For those who are currently suffering through Lion, perhaps the new Messages app will make things better.
UPDATE 2 - Looks like I won't be able to run it, anyway. Oh well, FU Apple.
- I know I've mentioned the MWC - C-USA merger here a few times before, but I still want to pass along this article, which I found amusing. Naming the new conference "Them" would be more than appropriate.
- Apparently in the real world, Seinfeld's George Steinbrenner would have been fired, much like the St. John's senior associate athletic director was for scalping tickets.
- A man had a heart attack while eating at the Heart Attack Grill. Makes sense.

- The Cubs could play some of their home games at US Cellular Field in the future. Do you care? [via Brad]
- Louis CK has inspired Jim Gaffigan to self-release his next album. It seems like this is a growing trend that will cause problems for studios/labels/whatever other parties are involved.
- Colin Cowherd is a creep.
- I don't understand why Motorola is always so far behind in releasing up-to-date software. WTF.
- RIP Arsenal.

- Whenever Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey scores a goal, a famous person dies.
- Seemingly several months too late, check out the 10 worst swings from the 2011 MLB season. Other than #1, I feel like I see the White Sox swing like that all the time.

- The DD blog ventured into uncharted territory and found some statistics on iced coffee drinkers. What would we do without this blog?
- Bristolmetrics.
- Car dealerships are upset about websites that put haggling in jeopardy. Can we just get rid of dealerships and order straight from the manufacturers?
- The Google-Motorola deal is done (I think...).

- Here's the last Jamboroo for a while. Not even sure why there is one this week.
- More Google bar changes, yay!
- Read this if you don't want to drown.

- The future is not so bright for the White Sox, according to farm rankings (from ESPN but reformatted to avoid Insider). [via Matt]
- Here's a kind of interesting (though lengthy) article on the lost art of doctoring a baseball.
- I suppose it wouldn't really be a surprise if Microsoft were to acquire RIM. In terms of large-scale acquisitions, this one actually sounds kind of boring.
- Here's Deadspin's weekly Premier League thing. Deadspin isn't very good at covering soccer.

- Assuming this isn't fake (which it very well could be...), apparently it's foolish to think Britney Spears (and others like her, I'm sure) don't lip sync. [via Matt]
- Funbag.
- Reducer.
- I saw Illinois mentioned in a Deadspin post and figured it'd be interesting. It really wasn't.

- Redbox and Verizon have joined to create a new video streaming service. All of this competition should be good for us, but I have yet to be entirely impressed. But that's probably because studios won't put movies on DVD for an absurd amount of time.
- Bristolmetrics. Looking forward to next week's, where I'm sure the NFL will be unreasonably high.
- Joan Rivers has had plastic surgery a whopping 739 times, which explains her frighteningly weird looking face.
- Empire Carpet bought Luna, but before you get all excited about Luna's jingle disappearing, note that the two brands will continue to operate and advertise separately. Rats.
- Will Ferrell's Super Bowl ad is going viral!

- Is the fix in for the LA Kings? Interesting replays say maybe.
UPDATE: It's under investigation.
- Jamboroo.
- More NFL concussion stuff. Don't know why I find it so interesting.
- The DD blog gives a look at how the NY/Boston/Indy DD markets are gearing up for the Super Bowl. Tasty.

- XFL 2.0!
- Before Watchmen might make die-hard Watchmen fans angry. Surely it'll make Alan Moore angry.
UPDATE: Nate's link is better.
TWOFER from Nate:
- Take a look at the first image from the new Bond movie, Skyfall.
- Also take a look at some of the potential rule changes that will be discussed by FIFA next month.
