NBA 2k10 Reviewed (Xbox 360)

Like for many of you, NBA Live was my basketball game of choice in the ‘90s. It helped that it was also the only NBA game to play but that’s beside the point. PC was my platform of choice mainly because I did not own a PlayStation but it was awesome to play on the [...]

Weekend Sports Musings

Lance Armstrong stayed in the top-3 this weekend at the Tour de France despite challenges from his opponents and teammate, Alberto Contador, the 2007 Tour de France winner.  It’s been an impressive run up to this point, especially since he’s had a four-year hiatus from the sport spent mostly running topless with Matthew McConaughey.

Where Have You Gone Allen Iverson?

I now know how people felt when Mickey Mantle retired from baseball. How comic book fans felt when Doomsday killed Superman. How wrestling fans felt when Hogan turned to nWo. It’s the same as how I feel when I think about the Allen Iverson situation in the NBA. It’s as though Hogan (the NBA) came [...]
