When it comes to the <a href="http://fuckyeahryangosling.tumblr.com/">Ryan Gosling “Hey Girl” meme</a>, I consider myself a bit of an expert.

In case you weren’t aware, ESPN loves Jeremy Lin.

By way of nearly everyone with a working index finger and a <a href="mailto:withleather-tips@uproxx.com" target="_blank">knowledge of our tipline</a> this morning comes Jeremy Lin The Musical, wherein a guy whom I'm just gonna assume is Bobby Lee from MadTV plays "Jeremy", a down on his luck Asian gent who tries to join the local basketball club, only to be taunted and rejected by the its multi-cultural members.

I was hoping that by this point in the week I’d have some fun little anecdotes to share about how Orlando is shaping up for All-Star Weekend, but short of about 60 more homeless people than usual and some banners, I haven’t noticed much yet.

<a href="http://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/screen-shot-2012-02-22-at-11.55.07-am.png"></a>UFC president Dana White is a polarizing guy who probably doesn't share a lot of my opinions on things (for example, I'm guessing he doesn't weep throughout the entirety of The Land Before Time), but he's got a way of cutting through the bullsh*t and making some astute (if not totally obvious) points about sports, including: 1.

If you refer to a Chinese and Taiwanese basketball player as a "chink" in your ESPN headline -- or worse, use "chink in the armor" to describe the performance of the Chinese and Taiwanese guy's team on the air -- what do you do.

On most weekends, the most I hear about Saturday Night Live is through Twitter.

Kim Kardashian rose to fame after a sex tape of her and Brandy’s brother, Ray J, “leaked” and then she latched on to other reality TV leaches like Paris and Nicky Hilton until she became the face of her own family’s empire.

Chances are if you even squinted at a Twitter feed yesterday, you saw a million or so people bitching about this year’s NBA All-Star Game slam dunk contest lineup, and they were all justified in doing so.

What people think Hitler thinks about Jeremy Lin.

<a href="http://smokingsection.uproxx.com/TSS/tag/dj-neil-armstrong">Neil Armstrong</a> extended an invite to his place to catch last night's Knicks-Kings game, seeing as we both share our love for the blue and orange and there's now an aura of optimism for our team, evident in people congregating just to see them play.

I'd like to be a NBA hipster and claim that I'm already over this damned Jeremy Lin hype, but I'd be lying.

Taiwan's Next Media Animation has been in a bit of a slump lately, but they've followed up their disappointing, wordless <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi4xusPzHMg" target="_blank">Austin Powers-esque recap of Kate Upton's Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=D4-PKl82vQg" target="_blank">incessant videos of Jeremy Lin on fire</a> with this masterful retelling of Randy Moss's 35th birthday and the UStreamed intentions to return to the NFL that followed.

Okay, so your first instinct here is to go "OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS STUPID HOT GIRL LET ME TELL EVERYONE I KNOW ON THE INTERNET ABOUT HER SO WE CAN SHARE A FELLOWSHIP-LOL" and crosspost it on Facebook and Twitter (and your semi-reputable sports blog).

I went to my local watering hole yesterday after work to enjoy a few sophisticated beverages before I attended the Orlando Magic game, and the barkeep tuned the image box to SportsCenter, which devoted about 70% of the show to New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin.

Look, there's a chance you may not have heard of<a href="http://www.uproxx.com/music/2012/02/who-the-fck-is-bon-iver/#page/1"> Bon Iver, aka Bonnie Bear,</a> prior to this week, but there's just no way you don't know <a href="http://withleather.uproxx.com/tag/jeremy-lin">who Jeremy Lin is</a>.
