Jeremy Lin is apparently the new hot thing, not only in the NBA, but in pop culture. His story is pretty cool. No scholarships out of college, went to Harvard. So he's pretty smart. Undrafted out of college, cut twice in the NBA, then gets his shot in New York, and lights it up.

The next step? Obviously date Kim Kardashian.

It makes sense though. They could be KARDASHA-LIN.

Candy heart sayings...almost

Twitter is awesome. Today there was a trending topic called #candyheartrejects, with people chiming in with things that didn't make it onto candy hearts. Here are some of my favorites...

Roses are red, violets are blue, does this cloth smell, like chloroform to you?

You Cant Sleep Here

I like you but only when I'm drunk.

You are a great backup option.

Brewers Fever!

I'm taking this information straight off of MLB.com, and I've gotta say, this is a lineup I can get behind. Of course, it all hinges on Braun beating his appeal...

Brewers fever. I've already got it.

Brief Jerky

This is...interesting. I mean I like beef jerky, but this looks...snug.

Big Donation

Well, it turns out that the odds were 50-1 that the first score of the game would be a safety, and Jona Rechnitz, a Giants fan, had placed $1,000 on the wager. $1,000! That's a lot of money to pay on a longshot.

My first thought when Tom Brady was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone, resulting in a safety for the Giants, was "I wonder what the odds were for that in Vegas."


Lucky for him, it paid out, and he's announced he's going to donate the money to charity. He's going to give a portion to a charity of Brady's choice, as well as a portion to the preferred charity of Justin Tuck, the Giants DE that forced Brady to make that error.

For such a long shot bet to pay off, that's a lot of money to give to charity. $50k in winnings? I'm not sure I could do the same.

Tim Heebow

I'm not sure if this is offensive or not, but here it is anyway.

Introducing...Tim Heebow.

I'm salivating just looking at this...

If you invite me to your Super Bowl Party, I might bring this.

It's unlikely that I'll follow through, but it's possible.
