Sunday, August 27th, 2006 at 7:47 pmSpeaking of maiden victories, how about Marco Andretti at Infineon Raceway? Dude is so young he could not have Champaign in Victory Circle. Hats off and all that!

Sunday Morning Racing - Congratulations Massa
Sunday, August 27th, 2006 at 1:54 pmCongratulations to Felipe Massa on his maiden victory at the Turkish GP. I think the Alonso/Schumacher battle may have overshadowed Massa’s victory, but you have to give hats off to Massa for a very tidy victory. Just a couple of years ago Massa was considered an erratic mess who had speed, and now […]
Saturday Night Gridiron and Circle Racing Fun
Sunday, August 27th, 2006 at 12:33 pmThe Falcons looked decent last night, but that is not saying too much considering the opposition was the Titians. Still, I was looking forward to a few things - could the Falcons establish a rushing defense, was Norwood up to the task (considering the Duckett trade), is Vick ready for the season, and finally […]
Slowly But Surely
Sunday, August 27th, 2006 at 10:27 amPeople generally do not like change. Particularly people who play baseball text-sims. I think we’ve grown very comfortable in our Out of the Park Baseball 6.5 world. I know how to win, the strategies to use that lead to success, and pretty much have it down to a science. So why […]
Columbus does it again!
Saturday, August 26th, 2006 at 8:05 pmRefusing to watch the kids play, I just noticed that Columbus beat the team from Oregon 7-3, claiming the title of best little league team in the US. How many times have I mentioned that I played baseball during my formative years at Northern Little League?
I guess I will have to […]
Weekend Stuff
Saturday, August 26th, 2006 at 1:10 pmNo stuffs today, just the straight poop on the weekend. As seems to happen a lot lately, work has taken on a life of its own, which usually sucks because game time is thrown out the window. Boo-hiss.
The Northern Little League team, from Columbus, GA is one win away from the championship. […]
Almost Forgot…
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006 at 3:38 pmToday is National Lemming Day. Madden 2007 was released to various outlets. The lemmings rejoiced and purchased it. Now they are moaning and groaning in various forums. This year is highlighted by NLD coverage at ESPN.com, just in case you missed the ridiculous lemming pay-per-view event.
I’ll wait a few weeks and […]
Conversion Continues
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006 at 11:57 amWe’re at the point where our league file can be converted to OOTPB 2006. I’ve decided that we’ll wait until the next patch is released next week to start our regular sim schedule. Patch 1.0.3 fixes some online league and other important issues, so no sense in rushing things at this point. […]
The High Life
Sunday, August 20th, 2006 at 12:42 pmEvery once in a while we have to talk about beer - it is sort of the American way. It has been an extremely long week. In fact, last night I found myself ordering Domino’s Pizza for the crew at work, which was sort of a strange feeling because the last time I […]
Northern All-Stars Win Game 1
Saturday, August 19th, 2006 at 10:46 pmI do not really care much for the Little League World Series, or at least what goes on as far as TV coverage these days, but I do have to pull for the Georgia team, the Northern Little League team, from Columbus, GA. This is not only my home team, but my home league. […]
NHL EHM 2007
Saturday, August 19th, 2006 at 12:17 pmI missed this last week, but Sports Interactive announced the new features for NHL Eastside Hockey Manager 2007. The real-time 2D engine caught my eye. It looks like one of those table top hockey games of yester-year. I like it.
I just love how the rest of the world believes PC gaming is […]
World of Warcraft
Saturday, August 19th, 2006 at 9:19 amI decided I am going to include World of Warcraft discussion here on the good old blog. Like all addictions, WoW is something you don’t bring up in casual conversation. I wouldn’t meet someone and say, “Hey, did you know I am an alcoholic?” That’s how I kind of feel about my […]
Diamond Mind…Sold!
Thursday, August 17th, 2006 at 9:13 pmGot a newsletter from Diamond Mind that discusses the merger of the franchise with a company called “Simnasium.” No, I’ve never heard of them either.
I must say that the DIamond Mind newsletters are hands down the best sent out by any gaming company I know of. They are entertaining to read. […]
Draft & Conversion
Thursday, August 17th, 2006 at 1:53 pmWe solved the draft and conversion problem - no thanks to Sports Interactive since nobody there could answer this queston. Our own study revealed that the prospects generated in OOTP 6.5 convert to OOTPB 2006.
A couple of people continue to post their concerns over and over again on the OOTPB 2006 boards. I […]
You Just Never Know
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006 at 5:51 pmA bit off-topic, but I think Richard Jewel and the Ramsey family can feel each others pain about right now. Both were found guilty by the press, only to have it revealed that they were, in fact, not responsible for any crime. It’s pretty sad that the mother passed away before she saw […]
