If a headline like this doesn’t get you to click, nothing will. Apparently, Axe Body Spray agrees. After hearing of the heartbreaking story of a young lady/Bear’s fan named Sarah and her failed attempt to acquire a Super Bowl ticket on eBay, the deodorant company offered up 4 tickets for her and her friends to go to the game… on one condition: they hold a contest for one lucky man to accompany them.

Sound too good to be true? Yes. Did Axe plan this all along? Probably. Do I care? Nope. Sign me up and I’ll deal with my wife later. Go Bears! (oh and if you think you can top me in this contest, you better hurry up. “Sarah” picks her winner tomorrow night)

While browsing this year’s top prospectus list and eventually moving on to my beloved Red Sox’s top 10 prospects list I randomly came across 2 rather odd lines in their “Top Prospects of the Decade.” Obviously Nomar was there along with Hanley Ramirez, but in 1999 and 2000 a name I didn’t recognize, Dernell Stenson, appeared with the word “Deceased” next to him.

Apparently, Stenson was a highly rated prospect, drafted by the Red Sox in the 3rd round of the 1996 draft. His numbers weren’t astounding and he left the team in 2003 for the Reds’ farm system. He ended up playing 37 games for the Reds in the big leagues that season, but in the off-season was a victim of a suspiciously violent carjacking where he was tied up, shot and run over. Add to this a psychotic ex-girlfriend and the official report on Stenson’s death just doesn’t add up.

At any rate, I was surprised at the strangeness of this story and the random way I stumbled upon it. Makes you wonder why the Internet was invented just for porn.

February’s Maxim titillates the senses with spreads of Eva Mendes and the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show, but their list of the 50 Lamest Things of All Time is priceless. Here’s some highlights:

43. Dane Cook
40. Rappers who aren’t shot
34. Pepper Jack Cheese
28. Premium Gas
22. Minivans
12. Soft-core porn
9. Kanye West
8. Vegan Bacon
1. Mandals

Top 3 things I would have added to the list: Non-alcoholic beer, Soccer, George Foreman Grill and a honorary mention to Peyton Manning.

U2’s latest video, Window in the Skies is a damn cool mash-up of video of dozens of artists seemingly performing the song. According to Duncan’s, “The Mill New York integrated all the footage and carefully finessed the lip-sync to match the lyrics. A range of techniques were used, mostly simple time warps, speed changes [and] complex mouth manipulations were performed in order to achieve the required sync. It was important that the work generated did not detract from the integrity of the video.”

Have you ever found yourself using MS Excel to calculate how you can get the most alcohol into your system with the least amount of expenses? If you have you might want to give AA a call. If not, check out this article (and attached Excel spread sheet), because these guys have done the work for you.

The article brings back mixed emotions about my collegiate years. I’m glad I don’t have to drink Natty Ice anymore, but I’m sad I can’t hit on girls that are.

I don’t know how anyone could pick just one sports jerk of 2007, but if I was Tank McNamara, my list would look something like this:

1. Paul Ladewski – Jerk Sports Writer
2. Barry Bonds – Jerk Roid-Freak
3. Peyton Manning – Jerk Patriot Killer/Jerk Commercial Whore
4. Whoever was responsible for ruining the NHL

Should you shave with the grain or against it? Use hot water or cold? How many blades is enough? Can an electric shaver do the job? Considering most men shave nearly every day, these are things we all need to know. Manroom has compiled sources from around the web to help you obtain the perfect shave:

With the grain or against it?
“To avoid problems, shave “with the grain” (that is, in the direction your hair grows.) Each person’s facial hair has its own growth pattern. If you are unsure of the direction of your beard, let it grow for a day or two and you’ll see it.”

Hot or cold water?
“Soften your beard by washing your face with warm water and mild soap. Don’t use water that’s too hot, that could cause complexion flare-ups”

How many blades is enough?
“The act of shaving actually pulls your whiskers up slightly from the skin… Thus, in theory, multiple edges give a closer shave. However, most men can’t tell the difference between a double and single blade shave.”

Electric Shaves?
“Electric razors are OK for emergencies, travel, or when you’re in a hurry. But you’ll get a better shave that’s kinder to your skin with a blade.”

According to All Headline News Jenna Jameson Wants Scarlett Johansson to play her in an upcoming movie. While I have no problem with Scarlett dropping trow on screen, I wonder if there may be a better choice. Women I wouldn’t mind seeing in this role (or any porn star biopic for that matter) include: Elisha Cuthbert, Elisha Cuthbert and Elisha Cuthbert. Thoughts?

While booth babes (defined: hot chicks pawning goods at consumer electronics shows) have been banned from E3, CES still proudly revels in all that is booth babe-ish. Check out a couple galleries here and here (both links probably not safe for most work places).
