In the end Jay Cutler got what he wanted. Not only did he escape Denver, but he just landed some additional duckets from Chicago. In the real world Cutler’s behavior would never end well, but sports and the NFL are anything but real. Good for him.

Just how well, or maybe I should say how poorly, is the PSPgo doing out of the gate? This just in from the Official PlayStation Blog: The PSPgo is driving additional momentum for the entire PSP platform. In its first three days on store shelves, top retail partners experienced a 300 percent lift in overall [...]

FIFA 2010 ships

2 comments

I love Amazon’s Prime Release Day shipping service. FIFA 2010 will be here today for a grand total of $56.99. If you do the math, this comes out to $56.99 for the game + $0 shipping + $0 sales tax. Not a bad deal!

Falcons survive Bears 21-14.

No comments

It may not have been pretty, but a win is a win. You have to give this one to the Falcons defense inside the Red Zone, which was damn good, including one series late in the game where they forced two fumble, recovering the second one. For consecutive years, the Dome was loud; unfortunately a [...]

Football night in ATL

No comments

Tonight the Falcons play host to the Bears. Everyone remembers the drill from last year. Matt Ryan hooked up with a sideline pattern to Michael Jenkins, saving a second on the clock to allow Jason Elam to kick the Falcons to a 22-20 win. It was a riot in the Dome. I still remember all [...]

SEC Roundup (Week 7)

No comments

Week 7 was a damn good football Saturday. Not only did Georgia get out of their funk against Vanderbilt, Texas also survived the Red River Rivalry to remain entrenched in the non SEC side of the BCS (or should we call it the BS C) race. Top it off with more wins (Georgia, Kentucky, Miss [...]

I finished up Volume 2 of the James Bond Blu-ray Collection last night, saving Thundarball, my favorite in the collection for last. All things considered, I know From Russia with Love is considered a classic, and it is a good film, but Thunderball in my humble opinion is a lot better. Not only does the [...]

Marauder Single Shot Tray

No comments

Crosman is now offering a Single Shot Tray for the Marauder. I ordered one last night. At $14.99 the price is not bad at all, but shipping charges of $9.84 are a little over the top. Hope this arrives a few days after my new Marauder. I love the repeater magazines; in fact I have [...]

SEC Predictions (Week 7)

No comments

This is the first real fall football weather weekend (currently 45F as I sit in my kitchen prepping this article). I love this time of year! Brisk, cool air; deep blue skies (but mostly rain around here lately), and SEC football! This week I am turning back to Danny Sheridan’s odds. Let’s be honest; the [...]

PSPGo bashing continues

1 comment

Longtime reader, contributor, and friend of CG, wco81, posted a link to this article which points out PSPgo flaws compared to Apple’s iPhone/iTouch platforms. You guessed right, price point of games is a central issue. Sony says serious gamers will always prefer pushbutton controls to a touchscreen. I think they’re right. I played the sword-and-sorcery [...]

The Crosman warranty department told me that my Marauder was beyond repair. Actually, the quote from the service rep was that was “a good amount wrong” with my Marauder. Crosman is shipping me a brand new replacement; should be here next week. Hats off to Crosman for being such a standup company and making things [...]

When does a tie feel like a win? Last night it sure did, as the U.S. overcame plenty of adversity to escape their final World Cup qualifier with a tie. Since the U.S. had already qualified in their previous match against Honduras, this one did not matter, but in so many ways it did. The [...]

I had already decided that I was not all that excited about tonight’s Costa Rica/U.S. match-up. After all, we already qualified for the 2010 World Cup, so this match was unimportant, except to maybe get some of the younger guys some quality playing time. After the Davies accident was announced, the game really seems unimportant. [...]

I am not sure if I should laugh or cry. I saw this last night on Screen Savers and again at All About The Games. Seriously, are you kidding? Upskirt taken to a whole new level. In the future I guess there will be bonus packs, add-ons, and different versions featuring different girls, outfits, and [...]

If you like statistics head over to the NFL South Blog at ESPN and take a look at the Ryan’s numbers broken down by play action vs. regular passes, and formation types. I would love to see more of these types of articles, and I am sure this is what coaches do when breaking down [...]
