With Hump Day in the rear-view mirror, it's time to look forward to a weekend of FOOTBALL. It's kind of quite amazing considering the frustrating pissing-match the 2011-12 NFL was in with it's players only a few months ago. Cheers to that. Also nice: These new photos of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Cover Girl, Irina Shayk. Check 'em out below, along with your daily dose of linked goodness. CLICK!

First order of business: Music! Here's Wilco's music video for "Burn Alone," a track off their new album "The Whole Love." The video is quite enjoyable.
