Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump.  It is compiled and written by elves while you sleep.

  • Deadspin pulls excerpts from Willie Williams’s diary for the Miami Herald that revealed the shadiness of college football recruiting.  I, for one, was shocked to learn that high school athletes were given free meals.
  • Big League Stew digs up a YouTube of the ’81 Dodgers singing Queen’s “We Are the Champions” on Solid Gold.  Is there choreography?  Oh, there’s choreography, my friends.
  • Today’s Big Thing presents the video for A-Ha’s infectious “Take On Me” with lyrics that make sense.  It’s not sports-related, unless you count pipe wrench fighting a sport.  Which I do.  Give that song a spin, DJ Niki Belucci.
  • FanHaus wonders if the current financial crisis could bankrupt England’s Barclays Premier League.  So wait.  The American financial crisis could cripple a European soccer league?  U-S-A!  U-S-A!
  • Fan IQ notes that Seth Petruzelli gave a near-admission that Elite XC paid him to alter his fighting style to benefit Kimbo Slice.  Good riddance, second-tier distraction from UFC.
