ESPN's Bill Simmons: The You Tube Hall of Fame. The sports columnists' 33 favorite video clips. Some are music, some TV, these are not:

28. New England @ Denver Broncos
Everyone in Seattle is still complaining about the Super Bowl? Really? Watch the unedited feed of the Asante Samuel interference call again. Go ahead. Pay special attention to Samuel GETTING mugged (not doing the mugging) and the lateness of the flag from the back of the end zone, as well as Phil Simms' incredulous commentary. And after you're done with that, watch Champ Bailey fumble the football forward on the half-yard line and somehow not have it be called a touchback. Did we spend the whole winter and spring whining about this stuff? No. I'm just saying.

33. The Greatest YouTube Clip of All-Time The only piece of video that comes even remotely close to explaining what it felt like to be sitting in Fenway after midnight on October 19, 2004. This clip gives me chills every time. Every time. God bless YouTube. God bless the Internet.

Related: The Joke Project, "short clips of ordinary folks telling their favorite jokes on the street or in other simple settings," writes A. Adam Glenn at Poynter's E-Media Tidbits.

Longtime Miami Herald staffer Liz Donovan points to Fred Tasker's history of Knight Ridder, which officially ceased to exist at 4 p.m. today when its sale to McClatchy became final. The wrapup was a Sunday piece in that KR paper.

Following blog obit links for Mandarin Meg, whose blog I'm only learning about posthumously, I find the fine smart blog and big photos of Stu Savory.
