02.10.09 SAINT ANDREW’S NET: SWIMSUIT BONANZA!

Saint Andrew’s Net is With Leather’s daily link dump.  Unlike most morning dumps, it comes before your first cup of coffee.

• Scott Van Pelt got suspended by ESPN for his strong comments about Bud Selig’s obscene salary.  We’ve got your back, Scott — we think he’s a worthless douchebag, too.  [Deadspin]
• Did you miss the A-Rod interview on SportsCenter?  Me too, thankfully.  But you can relive all of his awkward faces with these screen grabs.  [Fack Youk]
• A sincerely misguided attempt to rank the top 53 SI Swimsuit Issue models.  Kathy Ireland at #12, Cindy Crawford (who rarely, if ever, was in the mag) at #17, and three-time cover girl Cheryl Tiegs at #40 (pictured) are all proof of half-assery. [InGameNow]
• Poker + billiards + mixed martial arts = a new reality TV show.  Can’t wait.  [Deuce of Davenport]
• Video of Allen Iverson’s 45-foot bounce pass nutmeg assist.  Yeah, he could have been the greatest point guard of his generation… but he’d rather shoot.  [Ball Don't Lie]
