I’m starting a new feature today that I’ll run around once a week, or whenever my stash of links hits critical mass (submissions welcome). Here are LOS LIIIINNNKKKKSSS to help get you through Monday afternoon:
- From Adrian the Canadian: Stewart Mandel article at SI on football talent and the SEC (be sure to read between the lines, there are a lot of contentious issues in this debate, including race and economics)
- Brian Phillips at Grantland tells the story of Tom Molineaux, a black American boxer who challenged for the English boxing title in the early 1800s (I’m not sure about the broad points Phillips tries to make, but the story itself is great)
- From my buddy Luke: Michael Lewis portrays Eli Manning for the New York Times Magazine in 2004 (see my thoughts about the piece at the end of my post earlier today)
- A shameless plug for Luke, who explains to us that guarana is really just extra caffeine
- A camel from New Jersey says that the Giants will win the Super Bowl
