- The worst hockey logos of all time. How did this one not make the list?

- Retrocrush is also doing one of their progressive countdowns of the top 100 cover songs of all time. So far they are at No. 58, but I have a hard time believing there are many better covers than No. 74, The Fine Young Cannibals' take on Elvis' "Suspicious Minds," that was a big, big part of the soundtrack of my college years.

- Sports Illustrated and Viagra are counting down the top 20 sports experiences. The top two have yet to be revealed but you know the competition will be stiff for the top spot (from close scrutiny of the shrouded thumbnails, I am guessing they are the Tour de France and British Open at St. Andrew's) . I, alas, have only experienced one of the events--No. 5, Michigan v. Ohio State in Ann Arbor.
