When everyone else does power rankings, they’re redundant and stupid. When we do Power Rankings, they totally kick ass.

1. Bacon. It’s worth pulling a knife over. It’s good to know that some weapon-wielding gent is looking out for bacon-lovers everywhere. via.

2. Fandom Boiling Over. A Brazilian soccer fan got up close and personal with one of her favorite teams–after getting hit by the team bus. Sad, really.

3. The argument against paying college athletes. Short argument: those kids determine their own worth by signing with a system that gives them enormous fringe benefits. Long argument: here.

4. A Throw-In For The Ages. They don’t mess around in German women’s soccer. Achtung, Helga! via.

5. The Washington Nationals. First TV color guy Rob Dibble was canned, and now Nyjer Morgan finds himself in a bit of trouble. You don’t have to do anything good to be a celebrity, as long as you do it colorfully.

6. Olivia Munn. Not ugly. Now that you mention it, not much of a dresser, either.

7. Happy penguins. They’re one of the few undomesticated animals that actually enjoy the company of people. Idiots.

8. The use of feces as a weapon. Insane Clown Posse discusses that Tila Tequila incident in the interview. And I guess I’d better include the obligatory, “F*cking feces…how do they work?”

9. The overrating of Terrelle Pryor. The Ohio State quarterback went 17-for-25 in his season opener. But don’t expect everyone to be on the bandwagon.

10. Fights in the stands. Go ahead. Relive the magic.

1. A hapless running back doing hapless things: I’ve done this in Madden countless times, but I never thought I’d find someone as stupid as me who’d actually attempt the ‘run backwards hoping for that break around the defense that will never come’ football theory in real life. Something tells me his mother’s about to pick a new favorite child. H/T S.O.B.

2. Shoes for bike tires: I’m not sure how useful this bike’ll be in day-to-day life but it sure as hell is cooler then the Segway. Read the rest of this entry »

Friday afternoon means cutting out of work early and nonsensical power rankings. Let’s g-g-get it.

#1 Gisele Bundchen - The NFL’s top rated WAG among With Leather contributors named Ryan also happens to be a fan of breast feeding. Consider Gisele a lock for the number one spot anytime I get to mention Gisele and breasts in the same sentence. Here’s that video of her dancing in a bikini. What? I haven’t been able to get that song out of my head for days.

#2 Jersey Shore - Snooki was arrested during the filming of season three earlier this week, and the second episode of this season premiered last night. In case you missed it, BroBible has a good recap here. I know what you’re thinking, and don’t worry. Nobody was iced during the writing of that post.

#3 Wendy’s Bacon - Wendy’s is ditching their cheap bacon in favor (or should I say, FLAVOR) of the good stuff. To celebrate, I’m getting a Baconator or two tonight. God bless America!

Get out your knee pads and Neosporin to keep those boo-boos away, it’s an extreme power rankings in honor of this weekend’s X Games festivities.

#1 Motocross babes – Do you know the difference between a 250 cc and a 450 cc hog? If not, these ladies would be more than happy to give you a tutoring session or two. Here’s a gallery of the sport’s most bodacious of babes for, you know, research.

#2 Travis Pastrana – Arguably the baddest man in X Games history, Travis took home the gold medal for Freestyle Moto X after his first two runs, then for kicks, threw down a double backflip on his victory run.

#3 Jake Brown – Skateboard Big Air is by far the most badass sport at the X Games, and Jake Brown is its gold medal winner. The win is even more impressive considering he did this a couple years ago. His runs after the jump.

1. Tribute kicks as a tribute to something else. I’m not a sneaker pimp by any stretch, but these Mogwai Reebok Pumps are tight, yo! No, seriously, my foot’s falling asleep. How to I get the air out of these things?

2. The Mel Gibson Recordings. Look, degenerate racist scum or not, I’m disappointed that some woman thought it would be great to just ruin her baby daddy by releasing these. But only partially disappointed, because they are pretty GD hilarious. And this was inevitable.

3. The Maury Show Tumblr Site. Almost as good as watching the show, it’s another fun way to get 30 minutes of your life sucked away.

4. Bridge. If it can drive you to grisly murder, it’s a sport.

5. This Flash Gordon Heyward video. Seriously, who would have thought that this skinny little bastard was going to tear up the NBA Summer League like this? Read the rest of this entry »

1: COSTANZA! – This truly is the Summer of George. First his boss dies, and now he’s starring in a made for Lifetime movie. Everything’s coming up George.

2: Erin Andrews – First she was at the ESPYs, looking really attractive, and pretty soon she’ll be all legally blonde in the courtroom. There’s a very high chance she’ll be looking attractive. Here she is eating a sandwich.

3: Kimmy K – Could have snuck into the top two if Darnell Dockett hadn’t knocked her down a peg or two. She’s still a top 10 prospect in my book.

4: John Daly – John took his awesome pants and mean mug to St. Andrews, and played well yesterday. He’s not hitting the ball as well today, but 30 mph winds are a pretty reasonable excuse.

5: Hedo Turkgolu – The party machine was lucky enough to get that huge contract of his out of Toronto and down to Arizona. This will be his third team in three years.

6-10 after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
