Things to Read: 7/17

by Ricky O'Donnell on July 17 at 5:38PM


This is the new (hopefully) daily p.m. link dump here at TUP. You can send submissions to rickhouse@blogsbyfans.com. And don't forget about Stompy's roundup below.

Foul Balls: Would you rather have lunch with Ditka or Obama? I know, I can't decide either!

Deadspin: Whenever Pacman is in Vegas, the forecast calls for a 100 percent chance of RAIN.

Sactown Royalty: Tom Ziller takes a deeper look at Sean May.

NBA Draft dot net: A 2011 mock draft is so much cooler than a 2010 mock draft. The projected No. 1 was born in 1992. I remember 1992!

Puck Daddy: NHL '10 will feature a fantasy draft. Took ya long enough.

Chicagoist: Thax Douglas, the guy who reads poetry before indie shows in Chicago, may or may not be dead. Sad if he is, obviously, but a very weird story. I've seen him two or three times, most memorably at the Metro for an Okkervil River concert.

Topless Robot: The ultimate 'Transformers 2' takedown. A must read.

And a music video. After the jump...
Pitchfork Fest kicks things off tonight in Millennium Park. If I were going - I'm not because $35 is kind of a lot of money when you're (f)unemployed but mostly because I don't own any v-neck t-shirts - the band I'd most want to see is Built to Spill. Observe.

Built to Spill - Big Dipper
