Friday's P.M. Hot Clicks: Scariest Goalie Masks in NHL History; Cowboy in the City
Cowboy in the City
The Professional Bull Riders held their 11th straight Buck Off at The Garden in New York City last weekend and SI was all over it. Photographer Taylor Ballantyne took rider Luis Blanco to Times Square for a photo shoot of a real life cowboy in the middle of Manhattan. (See gallery below and full-size version here.) There's also this great behind-the-scenes gallery from the event.
Packers Fan Hall of Fame
I don't do this very often but I received an email from Packers fan Mike Powers, whose dad John is in the running for Packers Fan Hall of Fame. It's s a fan vote, however, and that's where you come in. As Mike explained in his email, "I aim big like a Rodgers Hail Mary and I want Hot Clicks' support. I am hoping you can give it a shameless plug or nod or whatever you’d like to call it. Tell the people of Hot Clicks nation that a vote for John Powers is a vote for the fans." So if you have a second, visit the page, and if you like what John Powers is bringing to the table, give him a vote.

Man Cleans Office, Wins $1 Million
An Oregon man cleaned up his office and found a $1 million winning lottery ticket. I don't understand how somebody buys a lottery ticket and completely forgets about it for a year. Oh well.
