Don't think I've ever led Hot Clicks with a fishing item but it's not everyday that someone catches a nearly 9-foot, 280-pound catfish. The someone in this instance is Italian fisherman Dino Ferrari and it is believed to be the largest catfish ever caught with a rod and reel. Take that, John Riggins!

Even More Helmet Redesigns

Yesterday, our friends at Deeyung Entertainment showed off their impressive collection of futuristic college football helmets to accompany the NFL ones they pushed out the week before. I loved all those but I'm more into this batch of alternate NFL helmets, courtesy of Paul Bunyan Designs. My favorites are the Bears, Raiders and Jaguars.

2016 Oscars Preview

The Academy Awards hangover is wearing off and I think I've recovered fromIrina Shayk's dress. It's never too early to look at next year's awards, and if there's any justice in the world, Marshawn Lynch will be holding an Oscar for his role in this bizarre and awesome-looking biopic.
