And I say HEY! What a wonderful time of day! Where you can learn to work and play, and read the first Sports On TV of 2013: the 20 greatest sports moments from PBS Kids’ ‘Arthur.’

‘Arthur’ is about the mostly-educational adventures of Arthur Read, an 8-year old aardvark who … well, learns to work and play and get along with the people in his hometown of Elwood City. Arthur started as a series of children’s books by author and illustrator Marc Brown, and eventually became a cartoon so popular it has over 1.1 million likes on Facebook and is the longest-running children’s animated series in the U.S., second behind only ‘The Simpsons’ as the longest-running animated series in the U.S. period. It’s also full of sports, and sometimes I like to write things on my comedy sports blog that my girlfriend will enjoy.

If you don’t already love ‘Arthur’ and have no interest in flipping through this list, listen to the opening theme, included below. If you can listen to the entire thing and not sing it for the rest of the day, I’ll let you off the hook.

In case you haven’t been reading With Leather very closely over the last week (and hey, it happens), we’ve been doing another fantasy baseball promotion with DraftStreet.com, mostly so I could avenge my 50th-something place finish in the first game. Well, thanks to David Price and my slavish devotion to the Cleveland Indians, I finished a whopping 134th overall. No, seriously. I could’ve selected players based on how handsome I think they are and finished better. I could’ve picked players whose names start with G. It wouldn’t have mattered.

Here are your top five finishers:

1. gperih – 76.2 points
2. JM80 – 65.45 points
3. Daern – 63.7 points
4. Bnelson2 – 63.5 points
5. Kid Kash & Dash – 62.55 points
134. bthompsonstroud -21.05 points

Humiliating. Funny enough, 134th is only two spots higher than the Indians finished last year. Here are some links. Blerg.

UFC 130 Gif Party - Since I only seem to cover fight sports where the people don’t really hit each other, here’s a bunch of gifs from UFC 130 courtesy of our friends at Cage Potato, and yeah, they are pretty much straight up hitting each other. I think one guy gets his face bashed in with a fire extinguisher. [Cage Potato]

This Epic Hurdle Fail Is Painful to Watch - I don’t think there’s a faster way to get someone to click a link than the words “epic hurdle fail.” Is there a non-epic type of hurdle fail? The saddest part of this video is that she was doing so well. I know what it’s like, lady, this happens to me every time I use the Power Pad. [BroBible]

Me, on Twitter - Last night I twote a Tweet about Basketball Wives. This is the kind of thing you should be following. [Twitter]
