Thursday’s Hot Clicks: David Puddy Supports the Team
Well, you gotta support your team
Down 2–1 in their first-round series against the Lightning, the Devils knew they had to do something to get the crowd going for last night’s game. That’s where Patrick Warburton—aka David Puddy—comes in.
I always assume the actors who had bit parts in a sitcom 20 years ago are sick of the Seinfeld references, but Warburton totally leaned into his role. He looked legitimately hyped to be there.
The Devs lost, though, and are now down 3–1 in the series.
This is why you can never bet against the Cavs
The Cavs were utterly embarrassed in their Game 1 loss to the Pacers, which means you could have guaranteed LeBron would come out and light it up in Game 2. He had 46 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in a hard-fought victory over Indiana.
This Cavs team is objectively not that great—certainly far inferior to last year’s Eastern Conference championship squad—but LeBron is such a dominant force that they can win any game.
Tumbleweeds aren’t just in cartoons
A town in Southern California has been totally overrun by tumbleweeds. That may sound harmless, but it’s not.
These aren’t just whimsical little plant skeletons that make your street look like a John Wayne movie. The Los Angeles Times says they “bunch up together to form big prickly boulders that block doors and garages.” The fire department has had to go out and clear the tumbleweeds away so people can get into their houses.
Hehehehe
Start your day off by giggling like an idiot at these unintentional sexual innuendos in NFL draft scout reports.

Makes u think
(Love reportedly has a partially torn thumb ligament but Tyronn Lue says he’ll be good to go in Game 3.)
Old school cool

This video is 11 years old but I just saw it now
Remember that music video with the treadmills from 2006? These kids recreated it perfectly for a high school talent show.
