Links of the Day (abridged version) - 12/20/11

1.  Ryan Braun - not doing PED's after all??

Pictured: Lloyd Braun- Ryan's Dad?

So Ryan Braun is now alleging that he tested positive due to medication he's taking for "a private medical issue."  My thoughts are it's either something weird like gout, or else it's what everyone thinks it probably is: ______ (insert your favorite STD here).





2.  New Will Ferrell movie
Has Will Ferrell done it again, or has Will Ferrell done it again?  Newest movie from the boys over at Gary Sanchez, "Casa de mi Padre."  I have to be honest here, I'm not sure if this movie is a complete joke, hilarious on its own, or not funny whatsoever.  You can judge for yourself....

3.  HBO cancels Bored to Death
Looks like Zack Galifianakis is gonna have to find a new job....errr.  On a serious note, 2 things to note about this show:
    A.  Jason Schwartzman not only played the main character, but he created and sang the theme song.  I'd also note that Schwartzman's band created and sang the theme song for "The OC" as well.
    B.  Besides Jack Donaghy of 30 Rock, I would argue that Ted Danson's character "George Christopher" was my 2nd favorite character on television.  Danson couldn't have played him any better.
