We didn’t have weekend links last week, because of Thanksgiving, and so the links have been piling up like Yule logs on the hearth. Let’s start burning a few, posthaste:

*Timely link of the week: Once again, Vikes Geek has a terrific take on the Williams Wall hearings — and he seems to think that, more than likely, neither tackle will be suspended yet this year.

*If you had to pick somebody to write 4,700 words about the Baseball Hall of Fame, wouldn’t it be Joe Posnanski?

*If you had to pick somebody to write 4,700 more about the Florida Gators offense — its genesis under Urban Meyer, his influences, and some technical commentary about how and why it works — wouldn’t it be Chris Brown of the Smart Football blog? (The first comment on that post says, simply, “dear god i love this blog”. I’d have to agree — if there’s a better pure football blog out there, I don’t know about it.)

*Required hockey links: First, Awful Announcing has the new NHL ad for the 2009 Winter Classic at Wrigley Field — featuring, of course, Harry Caray. Second, the wonderful Ms. Conduct blog directs us to the newest picture-caption entry: it’s the nhLOL blog! And in NBA vs. NHL news, Yahoo!’s Greg Wyshynski thinks the NHL is gaining; the Sports Media Watch blog isn’t so sure.

*And finally: I, for one, welcome our new Baby Mangino overlordsI

That’ll do it from here — if you’re in the Cities, enjoy your newfound three inches of snow. If you’re in Arizona or something, you’re clearly not suffering enough; go shovel the gravel out of your front yard, or something.
