Wednesday Links: Bring Out Your Dead Edition

One of the funnier observations from Monday night was about the pre-game video deal with all the names flying at the screen while that orchestra crescendo from Sgt. Pepper plays. There are barely any names on the thing. Watch it Thursday night. It looks so pathetic.
