- Most kids have probably tried the Happy Gilmore golf swing with varying degrees of success (I could never get it right). But when put to the test by Padraig Harrington, the swing gave him an extra 30 yards per drive. Only caveat - it's inaccurate. Still very interesting. [via scratcho]
- Arsh may not be the best, but he's the prettiest.
- The Classical article on Tom Thibodeau.
- Jamboroo.
- Calvin and Hobbes search engine, because why not?

- The Hater's Guide to Notre Dame is exactly what I needed to read today.
- Bristolmetrics.
- Here's one of the worst ideas you'll hear today: a Walking Dead zombie bikini calendar.
- Goddamn right Arsh should play over Gerv.
- You're probably confused by all the conference realignment. Perhaps these maps will help.

- Pennies cost so much! Or so little!
- Get ready for a battle in the NFL similar to what we see in MLB: "stat nerds" vs. "old timers". Guhhhh.
- The Classical article on Arsenal.
- Funbag.
- Check out the PTImeline of LeBron James. I might actually watch it!

- Soccer fans are the worst.
- This isn't as bad as Mark Schlereth's incessant need to say "National Football League" constantly, but Phil Simms is pretty annoying in his constant "football" utterances.
- The NHL and the NHLPA have agreed to... mediation. Yeah, I was hoping the next bit would be "a deal," but no dice. Oh well.
- Who knew that Jake from Two and a Half Men was insane in real life?
- A touchscreen Chromebook from Google further blurs the line between Chrome and Android. Eventually one has to take over the other, right?

- Welcome to the Big Ten, Maryland. You will soon be part of the most poorly named conference.
UPDATE: Rutgers, too.
UPDATE 2: Here's my suggested logo for the conference.
- To all you people who are upset about the Twinkie's death, it's apparently YOUR FAULT.
- Here's how the bells and whistles of MLB/NFL programming have changed over the years.
- I'm not even going to joke about the lack of interest I have in a Kenan Thompson sitcom.
- Here's some info about college basketball teams! (Note: Illinois is #54.)

- Jamboroo.
- What video games do you think are missing from Time's list of 100 greatest video games?
- Speaking of lists, check out this year's biggest box office flops.
- Here's a Grantland soccer article. And it's not written by Chris Ryan. Is Brian Phillips our new Reducer?
"Robin van Persie, though — God, am I sick of him."
- Poor Mark Buehrle and his pit bull.

- Classic ESPN reporting: "More than 12 New York Jets players say that Tim Tebow is not very good, according to a report."
- Nobody needs another reason to hate Bud Selig, but this article provides a big one.
- I'm proud to say I was streaming NFL RedZone on my computer when the Octo Box made its first appearance. It was glorious.
- Haha yeah Lost sucks.
- Nate Silver says Mike Trout should win the AL MVP. Therefore, Mike Trout should win the AL MVP.
- Holy Zlatan! [video]

- Hahaha Rick Reilly, what a douche.
- Is it bad that I didn't know who the Pine-Sol lady was until I saw this video? [via Matt]
- Funbag.
- I still think Jesus Diaz sucks, but his post here is actually kind of interesting. Perhaps it's because it's a re-post of someone else's work and doesn't include much of his actual analysis/thoughts/opinions.
- How desperate are you?

Even though ESPN doesn't want it, I'll have a full Five Things for you today.
- Elmo's puppeteer has been accused of having sex with an underage boy. Ruh roh.
- Bears > Jaguars > Colts > Titans > Lions > Seahawks > Patriots > Rams > Cardinals > Dolphins > Jets > Bills > Chiefs > Saints > Falcons > Broncos > Chargers > Raiders > Steelers > Eagles > Ravens > Browns > Bengals > Giants > Cowboys > Panthers > Redskins > Buccaneers > Vikings > 49ers > Packers > Texans > Bears. Parity!
- I don't normally consider fireworks to be cool, but these definitely are.
- Contrary to what you'd expect out of Louis CK, he will be airing his next special on HBO. Weird.
UPDATE: There will still be a $5 DRM-free version available.
- Will Leitch is in favor of parents deciding their children's favorite sports teams. I disagree with this. Perhaps it's because growing up I wasn't forced to like the Cubs (hah yeah scratcho you totally used to like them), or the Bulls (yep, I cried in 1993). I don't view sports teams as some sort of a family value or tradition that needs to be passed through generations. I disagree with anyone who has a view like that. Also, I don't agree that whatever sports team you root for when you're six will be a sports team you will root for forever. That's dumb.
- Good article detailing ESPN's history that has led to its current mess, which includes this quote: "If the network doesn't talk about hockey—and the evidence is strong that, lacking an NHL television contract, it won't—the nation doesn't talk about hockey, either." Reminds me of a blog post I made two years ago.
QotD: "The problem with Jose is he still doesn't understand there is a time difference and he keeps sending them when I'm asleep" - Didier Drogba on the late-night texts he receives from Jose Mourinho

- ESPN's been going a little crazy today. Maybe I'll post four more things, and maybe I won't. If I were to pick random articles, I think it's pretty clear what they'd all end up being.

- There are a lot of bad unies in NCAABB this year.
- Odd couples! [via Matt; video]
- Bristolmetrics.
- It's nice when I'm watching a video and then Aubrey Plaza unexpectedly appears. Sometimes she even snorts coke with Adam Scott.
- Is this hope for an NHL season? For some reason I doubt it.

- Get your Christmas tactics right! Best quote: "Frimmy says, 'I am a loser.'"
- With news of US Cellular selling its Chicago market to Sprint, it's time to start guessing new names for the White Sox ballpark. (Yes, yes, I'm aware that US Cellular is saying they're still committed to the Sox. But I don't see it lasting to 2023, as was initially intended.) So, what do you think? Sprint Stadium?
- It will be fun to track the effects of the pot legalization in Washington and Colorado. First up, the NFL.
- I don't like Matt Nathanson (Cole does!), but if I did, I wouldn't anymore.
QotD: "It is ironic since whenever I have met with our elected officials they are invariably thoughtful, well-meaning people. And yet collectively 90% of their effort seems to be focused on how to stick it to the other party.
So my plea to the victors -- whoever they might be: please withdraw from your respective parties and govern as independents in name and in spirit. It is probably the biggest contribution you can make to the country." - Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google.

- Halo 4 is out today, and this is one of the best forms of advertising I've ever seen.
UPDATE: lol.
- Happy Election Day! I know a person telling you not to vote is just as bad as a person telling you to vote, but I can't resist posting this video.
- Funbag.
- Apparently cockatoos are smart! [video]

- Occupy Alan Moore. [via Nate]
- Lots of people seem to have loved Boy Meets World (I am not one of them), so perhaps news of the potential sequel, titled Girl Meets World, will excite you.
- Join the countdown... 15 days until the Christkindlmarket opens! Sure, it interrupts my walk to and from the train, and it's mostly a rip off, but for some reason I still like it.
- I liked this write-up on Voshon Lenard, if only for this line: "By wearing his name on a Miami Heat jersey on my TV, Voshon Lenard delayed my development as a person-who-knows-the-proper-way-to-spell-Leonard by at least five years."
And your random fifth is...

- You might think that today is All Saints Day, but in reality it's World Vegan Day. So go out and eat some meat to celebrate!
- Interception! [video]
You'll get two random articles, and you'll like them.
- Time-lapse map shows internet outages as Hurricane Sandy makes landfall
