« Previous EntriesSunday Night Special
Sunday, August 26th, 2007 at 6:57 pmIt is always a good day when a Ferrari finishes at the front. Massa drove a brilliant race this morning to win his second consecutive Turkish Grand Prix.
I caught the last hour of the IRL race at Infineon Raceway; what a disaster for Franchitti. I am not sure what he and Marco were […]
Can Georgia make is two is a row?
Sunday, August 26th, 2007 at 10:04 amI do not write about Little League stuff very often; I think it is completely over exposed - too commercial. Of course I had to congratulate the Columbus, GA Northern team last year because I grew up playing on the same fields. Yesterday the team representing Georgia won the US Championship, and will go for […]
Chasing Football Season
Sunday, August 26th, 2007 at 8:02 amWe are close; darn close. College football kicks off Saturday, September 1 when Oklahoma State visits Georgia (nothing else before that game matters). Man I cannot wait! I guess I need to get some predictions up pretty soon or the naysayers will doubt the powers of my prognostications.
Still not in the mood to write about […]
Uh Oh
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007 at 11:27 pmThis may hit a little too close to home for some, ahem, but an interesting article about gaming widows. I particularly like the husband who tells his wife that he needs to call her back because he’s on a raid. Good stuff.

Ultra Lite
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 at 8:47 pmIt’s been a while since I had a beer post (maybe all of a week or two), so I figured now would be a good time to set things straight. First up is Ultra - always refreshingly light and sort of wholesome. Not sure if the low carb thing really matters. Follow that up with […]
Tuesday updates
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007 at 9:48 pmKind of late for a Tuesday update, but I do what I can for our reader. Monday was power outage night - 7 hours of hell in the hot GA night - so no internet, no HDTV preseason football, no PS3, and more importantly, no AC. Tonight I am not really in the mood to […]
Sunday Night Madden
Sunday, August 19th, 2007 at 9:51 pmOne more quick post before I call it a night. I just lost to Panthers 14-10. I am not going to go into all the statistics, but I am getting better passing (Shockley is serviceable, average at best, but I like him better than Harrington), while rushing is still hit or miss. I controlled everything […]
Real life imitates Madden
Sunday, August 19th, 2007 at 8:28 pmFunny - McNair just aired it out into double coverage, resulting in a Giants interception. Of course the DB eventually turned around, so we can only assume that there no one had eyes in the back of their head (unlike Madden DB AI play). NBC did not bother to show a replay, so I cannot […]
More random PS3 Madden 08 impressions
Sunday, August 19th, 2007 at 4:11 pmIf I start a franchise, the first thing I have to do is trade for a QB, because Harrington stinks and due to his extremely low awareness score, Shockley is not much better. The following are a couple of recaps of games, with a few random observations. Both games are on Pro, with […]
Madden 08 DB AI - Yuck!
Saturday, August 18th, 2007 at 9:35 pmLooks to be pretty sick stuff included by the fine folks at EA Sports. After a solid day with the game, I have come to the conclusion that the DB AI cheats and that interceptions are based off of the QB in question, not DB AI skills.
The cheating stuff is pretty simple to spot. Every […]
Nice Deal
Saturday, August 18th, 2007 at 1:11 pmDamnation, where was this deal a couple of years ago when I switched to DirectTV? New customers can get a free World of Warcraft client plus 11 months free game time according to this release on WoW’s site. Old timers like myself will have to settle for free NFL because the WoW deal […]
Madden 2008 Randomness
Saturday, August 18th, 2007 at 9:57 amAll random impressions are based on default settings. Still early days, but figured I would share some thoughts:
Lots of interceptions. The good news is that most of mine are fairly obvious; throwing into double coverage or miss reading zone coverage. The bad news is that a couple appear to be some sort […]
Is Madden for the PS3 really that bad?
Saturday, August 18th, 2007 at 6:55 amI have read a lot of harsh comments about this year’s Madden, mostly along the lines of a slow, jittery framerate. I guess I continue to show my age, and I continue to move towards a more casual gaming experience, because I just do not see this game as being terrible.
Granted, I have only played […]
Not really feeling it
Thursday, August 16th, 2007 at 9:31 pmSpeaking of bending it, Beckham got his first goal and an assist last night. One dimensional or not, just an amazing display of talent; on a few kick, he bent it to the left;
Not really feeling it for Madden right now, or any gaming for that matter. I got the game on Tuesday, but only […]
The Magical Liopleurodon Has Spoken
Thursday, August 16th, 2007 at 8:14 pmThis one goes out to the one I love.
