Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump. It’s gonna keep writing “2008″ for another month.
Send tips and submissions for Saint Andrew’s Net to withleather@gmail.com. SITE NEWS: Should be a full-ish day of posts today, then nothing on New Year’s Day. Regular schedule resumes Friday.
I suppose this isn’t exactly “sports” “news,” but the presence of a motorcycle is close enough to motor sports for me to justify it (see also: hummina). Besides, when the news cycle is this slow, it needs to be sped up… with a news motorcycle!!! And by motorcycle I mean gigantic tits.
Anyway, here are British pin-ups/faux-lipstick-lesbian-pals Lucy Pinder and Michelle Marsh, posing on a — what is that? Some kind of crotch rocket? I’ve got a rocket in my crotch they can have! It’s an M-80 firecracker I keep in my pocket. I figured they might want to light it on New Year’s Eve.
Danica Patrick has a January court date in Arizona after she was ticketed for speeding earlier this month. From TMZ:
Cops confirm Patrick was busted earlier this month in Scottsdale, Ariz. for driving 54 in a 35 — 19 over the speed limit — which bested her last run-in with the fuzz where she was going 57 in a 40 — only 17 over. [Ed. note: Thanks for doing the math for us, jackasses]
This couldn’t possibly be a lamer story. Like, couldn’t it at least be a school zone? Or 40 mph faster? Can’t she offer the cop sexual favors? Side-swipe a pregnant lady? You’re killin’ me, Danica. I even had to go looking for other pictures of her because I was tired of using the boring white swimsuit ones from her SI shoot. They’re from the 2008 Espys, and her hair looks like shit. Great teeth though. Is this day over yet?
ESPN rebroadcast the “Greatest Game Ever Played” (the 1958 Colts-Giants NFL Championship) recently, and I guess that’s a reason for old people to look back on their lives and remember when they weren’t frail and smelly. The Baltimore Examiner turned its lens on Marge Schmidt and Doris Snyder, 82-year-old twins who were majorettes for the Colts at the time.
With just a few minutes left, Snyder, who snuck a bottle of champagne into the game, popped the cork, and the majorettes and band members began passing it around.
“We thought it was over,” Snyder said, remembering how cold it was passing the bottle. “We figured we might as well get an early start [with drinking].”
I like where that’s going. Unfortunately, the story from there is about a bronzed pair of cheerleading boots, not a three-way with Alan Ameche. Keep that in mind the next time someone says the old days were better. Seriously. If it was really the greatest game ever played, how come it wasn’t shot in HD?
This video of the Dallas Stars’ Ice Girls frolicking in bikinis on a yacht is a couple days old now, but I never posted it over the holidays and today is slow as hell, so here you go. Titties and sunshine. Makes me feel awesome about it being December in New York City.

A rec soccer game in Great Britain got way better when a player who got red-carded, twenty-year-old Anthony Lloyd, sought vengeance with a chainsaw. Excuse me, it’s difficult to type while I’m playing making devil’s horns and playing air guitar to the awesomeness of that.
[Lloyd] was ordered off the park pitch for foul language but returned with the running power tool and tried to chop the hands off rival Paul Westwood while yelling: “I’m a crank.”
Prosecutor Laura Plant told the court: “They heard an engine start and saw the defendant coming out of the bushes revving a chainsaw. The victim’s friend ran off, leaving him cornered by the defendant.”
Lloyd began thrusting the chainsaw at Mr Westwood, cutting his chest. Ms Plant added: “He tried to chop his hands off while Mr Westwood was defending himself. He then walked off.”
Obviously, soccer could be improved with more chainsaws, but really… is there anything that isn’t improved by chainsaws? Chainsaws are the bacon of power tools. I’m really surprised they’re not on the Periodic Table of Awesoments.
