Links on Friday – Sporting TV endorsements

Tiger Woods, World’s Best Golferâ„¢ never shies away from earning shitloads of cash flogging Rolexes, Private Jets or have you – at least he *can* do it with some style if he wants to.

No shit guy Lance Armstrong, too, is big on endorsements. Yes, he’s an incredible rider, but bringing dead Elephants back to life is a bridge too far, surely.

Shane Warne has joined the Cricket greats in endorsing hair growth snake oil, and has worked in an office, but just look what the mother of his children has been reduced to.

And of course, the South Africans do TV spots as boringly efficiently as they beat All Black sides. Hilarious.

Everyone loves seeing someone else get hurt from the safety of their desk.

Ouch My Balls – skier gambles his future family on a sweet downhill run (via Hadyn Green)

Rollerblader drifts off mid trick – really enjoy seeing rollerbladers in pain, eh

Rad sports presenter gets nailed by unnecessarily large ball – I could watch this all day

Free runner shortly before Googling ‘Oral Surgeon’ – this will teach him for being French

Not a slam per se – he’ll be pretty sore the next day, though

Links on Friday – Skateboarding

The Search For Animal Chin is the pinnacle of 80s Skateboard films, all frosted hair and totally tubular dialogue – there’s even a ‘making of’ doco. Bonus awesome: Johnny Rad.

Kids today do it differently of course – according to this this Spike Jonez clip, Skating today is all in slow motion with explosions and that? You wouldn’t get very fit that way.

I’m impressed by the world’s biggest ramp, but seeing the Grange Hill kids skate, though, is the raddest thing I’ve ever seen. Bless.

Links on Friday – Tottenham

Super Tottenham Hotspur is the preferred Premiership team here at sportreview, embracing style, passing, and fun.

A lot rests on Harry Redknapp, now he has a whole season to himself to play with. At least he’s got a bit of fight.

I’m still waiting for this year’s big ‘all you other teams can go get fucked’ signing, like a Jurgen Klinsmann. I loved him. Peter Crouch is a better footballer than most tall blokes, but he’d better cut this shit out.

As usual, as long as we can do Arsenal, we’ll probably be happy. It’s fun, and its great.

Links on Friday – Alan Partridge

Ice white shoes. Ice white socks with navy blue double cadet stripes – it’s Alan in Paris. That’s… that’s the Eiffel Tower.

Remove the Apple Pie. And remove yourself from the theatre of conflict.

After a decent Links on Friday sesh, why not prop up the bar with a few ladyboys? You mentalist.

It’s a great model, it goes like a bomb… and the car’s not bad either!

Dan!

Links on Friday – Crap sporting songs

It’s New Zealand. It’s the 80s. So I can accept Bunny Walters. I can accept Beaver. But I cannot accept Barry Crump

Keith Alllen is largely responsible for Lily Allen, and Vindaloo, much loved by people who enjoyed shouting things on the street in the 1998 World Cup

Does the montage from the Karate Kid count as sporting music? It fuckin’ does now

From the minute you see cheerleaders throwing down moves in a used car yard, you know the Glasgow American Football team’s rap is going to be *awesome*
