Let’s send you off to an eventful Fourth of July weekend with a batch of links – some abut sports, some not:

Great article on “The Freak,” AKA Tim Lincecum. I especially liked the part where Lincecum’s dad throws Mark Prior under the bus. And apparently Dice-K and Jake Peavy are next. And how is Rick Peterson unemployed right now? But someone needs to tell Tom Verducci (and the general media) win/loss records mean nothing in regards to pitching performance. My favorite part was Lincecum’s reasoning for not icing his arm after games: “Never. Like my dad says, ‘Ice is made for two things: injuries and my drinks.’ ”

Help a bald brother out. And stop cancer.

Nice read about Joe Morgan – player versus broadcaster.

Here’s this week’s RotoWire podcast, featuring yours truly.

Bill Simmons gets plenty of backlash and criticism, including from myself once. But after this brilliant Deadspin piece, it’s become more obvious than ever that ESPN’s editors hold him back quite a bit.

Optical illusion helps create fake speed bumps.

Felix Jones No. 17? Thomas Jones ahead of Michael Turner? Calvin Johnson the 35th WR? It’s safe to say Roger Rotter and I differ in opinion when it comes to fantasy football rankings.

That is one ugly dog.

Kristen Bell, on the other hand, is. not. ugly. Neither. is. Bilson.

When I was seven years old, I too only wanted to do some hood rat stuff with my friends.

This movie trailer has left me speechless.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

    Awesome article on Lince, by the way…though I think his dad comes off as the most interesting guy discussed. It just boggles my mind how he could have that level of intuitive understanding. I hope and pray every night that Peterson returns to the A’s sometime soon (and if he can save a few teenage elbows and shoulders along the way, good for him).

    Keith – Agreed about Lincecum’s dad – he seems fascinating. The Giants need to steal Peterson away and get him working with Zito again.

    Wow. I’m pretty certain “teeth” is a ripoff of an old DRAWN TOGETHER Episode…
