Thursday's Links - 02/23/2012

Eye Candy of the Day




Eva Longoria has been named a co-chair of President Barack Obama's reelection campaign.  You can check out the "Desperate Housewife's" star and former Mrs. Tony Parker right here

Lin vs. LeBron



In the last action before All Star Weekend kicks off in Orlando, the Knicks square off against the Heat Thursday night.  With Miami being one of the strongest defensive teams in the league and Jeremy Lin being turnover prone so far, this could be the first time we really see Lin struggle.

Regardless of the outcome in tonight's game, the celebrity and legend of Jeremy Lin continues to grow.  Jimmy Fallon did a parody song of Pearl Jam's song Jeremy further cementing Linsanity as a global phenomena. 


On This Day in History

On this day in 1985, Bobby Knight tossed a chair across the floor in a game against Purdue.  I can't help but imagine the round the clock coverage this would have received had it happened today.  Knight received a 1 game suspension for his actions.





Amazing Gallery



While stumbling around the internet, I can across this gallery of a village in Afghanistan.  The entire setting seems like something other worldly or out of a science fiction movie.  Simply amazing how live adapts to the conditions of environment. 




Movie Clip of the Day




The other night I found myself watching the movie Rad for the first time in a great many years.  For those who are unfamiliar with the movie, Rad was a movie about BMX and freestyle bike riding in the 80s.  It's basically the story of a local kid, Cru Jones, who gains entry into the largest and most difficult race ever called Helltrack.  You can watch the movie trailer here and see a clip of the coolest dance scene you will ever see right here.  I also suggested taking a look at the history of the Mongoose bicycle right here.
