U.S. Soccer Low

2 comments

Just ran across this article at USAToday.com; the U.S. National soccer team is now ranked #31 in the latest FIFA rankings. The U.S. team, ranked as high as fifth in May before a poor showing at the World Cup, fell two points to No. 31 in November’s FIFA rankings Wednesday. The last time the U.S. [...]

Most of you know that I am a pretty big advocate of Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection (for the PSP).  Looks like it is $4.99 November 24-25, which is a heck of a deal.  If you own a PSP, and have even a passing interest in pinball, this is a great way to [...]

More on the NFL Network

No comments

I just saw this article; pretty sure my post below was first, but it is not as if everyone and their brother is complaining about not getting to see these ‘extra’ NFL games. The NFL Network has sued Comcast over the cable company’s plans to put the network on a premium-priced sports tier in systems [...]

Giving Tony Hawk Away

No comments

I thought it was interesting (and somewhat funny) that Toys R Us is running a 5AM-noon $129.99 PS2 system special that gives you Tony Hawk’s Project 8 for free.  Are we up to 8 of these games now?  I think I still have the first two for the PSX in my library … somewhere.  Never [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

No comments

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, and safe travels to and from where ever it is you happy to spend turkey day.  While I have too many blessings to count, I figured I would list a few here … Family of course; especially my wonderful wife, Tonya, and sons Joshua and Nathan.  Of course boy [...]

NFL Network

No comments

Hot damn!  A new tradition is started on NFL.com, with the addition of a third Thanksgiving game (KC vs. Denver) tonight, followed by more games each week for the rest of the season.  Too bad I do not get the NFL Network; me and another 60-million or so NFL fans are in the same boat. [...]

As the WoW Turns

1 comment

This may sound like a broken record skip, but sorry for the lack of posts these past weeks.  Occasionally real life creeps into my gaming addiction and I have to deal with demands for actual on the job performance.  Such was the case these past few weeks, but now I can relax a bit over [...]

PSP Golf and Football

No comments

With an upcoming trip to London looming (this weekend in fact) I decided it was time to pick up something new for the PSP.  I do not think I have played the darn thing since my last trip, so it is more or less collecting dust.  In other words, nothing exciting going on with portable [...]

Falcons Blow

No comments

Oct 20th I wrote that if you looked at Atlanta’s remaining schedule, they better figure out some things in a hurry, because they were going to go 9-7 at best: I hope they get it figured out soon, because the Falcons’ remaining schedule is brutal. The Falcons are capable of wins against Detroit, Cleveland, Washington, [...]

Problem with bundles

No comments

I did the bundle thing with the PSP, the GBA, the Game Cube, and the PS2, but no more.  After getting some sort of crap accessories with the PSP, I decided enough was enough.  I guess the online shopping age has matured to the point where people are willing to pay a whole hell of [...]

A couple of days ago preordered The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2007 from ACTA Sports. Last year was the first time I ordered the book, and while I may not have read every single page, it was pretty darn impressive. Good enough to see me preorder this year’s edition. The only problem is that I [...]

PS3 and Wii for me? Not yet.

No comments

Things sure change. A few years ago I would have happily waited in line for a Wii and a PS3, but those days are gone. I am no longer a ‘hardcore gamer’ – and yes, I still hate that term – I think I can wait for the madness to die down and maybe even [...]

Oops! No SEC Preview (Week 12)

No comments

So I was distracted with real world stuffs; it happens.  I have not wanted any football today (maybe 5 minutes of that ‘game of the century’ thing), but I have not seen any scores, so I guess technically I could make some selections.  Would appear to be cheating, so I am just going to call [...]

Ho … ly Cow! GA Wins!

No comments

I never would have predicted a total spanking by the Dawgs, but they completely thrashed the Tigers from Auburn. This is not the first time this sort of upset has taken place in this series, but I really did not expect Georgia to take it to Auburn in such a convincing fashion.  The Bulldogs won [...]

SEC Preview (Week 11)

No comments

Last week was bad on a lot of fronts.  First, there was the crap performance by my beloved Dawgs.  Second, I was a horrible 3-4, which was my first losing week on the season.  Totals sit at 61-15 going into Week 11. Vanderbilt – Kentucky This is actually an interesting game of SEC has-beens.  Vanderbilt [...]
