Why Ray Rice? Is it Goodells place to punish?

Posted on September 11, 2014 at 07:49 PM.

Not sure if it's been hit on yet in this conversation as I haven't read the whole thing, but maybe a real discussion about this should take place about "why Ray Rice?" Not in the sense of why the outburst after Rice's actions, I get that, a video DOES sort of make the actions hit home when you see it actually take place.

Now to my question, why Ray Rice... Think about this, let's all assume that the reports about Goodell having the video before he actually placed the 2 game suspension ... Read More

Madden: The only way online franchise will work

It's obvious for those that know me personally, I love online franchise. It is the one single mode on the Madden franchises that have really introduced re-play longevity for me in this game. Without online franchise, I would play this game for 2 weeks max, then pick it up here and there while I run off and kill some zombies in resident evil, or shoot my buddies on call of duty.

I've been at it since Madden 10 was released. (Which I also believe was the first year that the franchises ... Read More

So, basically everything in their statement is a lie. They can't say "There weren't flood warnings", because flood warnings began Wednesday MORNING. Everyone knew that it was going to flood. It wasn't the sewage that backed up, even city officials confirmed it, the flooding was from the RIVER. Employees offered to take the pets home to keep them safe until everything smoothed over, and Petco denied them. They sent NO ONE ... Read More

Madden 12: What makes a quarterback 'Elite'?

With the vote for the "Madden 100Club" going on currently, I thought this would be a good time to cover what makes quarterbacks in the NFL "elite".

So, the past few weeks, there have been three quarterbacks now I've heard on ESPN that have been called 'Elite'. One of them called HIMSELF that.

It seems these days, that EA Sports' Madden series has been defining the "Elite" category for years now. And I just don't think that's right. Are we really putting the words "Elite ... Read More

Late Saturday night after the Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers pre-season game, two men were reported shot and wounded in Candlestick Parks parking lot. But let's not get this twisted, of course, this showing of horrible violence was not the first involving a San Francisco sports team's game this year.

In March, San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow was severely beaten by two men in Los Angeles Dodgers gear outside Dodger Stadium after the teams' season opener, and he's still ... Read More

Chad Ochocinco Officially a Baller.

This is my first blog, and it's the first of a few I may put out today. So I figure I'm going to start with something easy for me, and that's football.

A few years ago, Chad Ochocinco was almost considered the laughing stock of the league, not for his on-field performance because that was great, but because of the name change, off field problems, etc. Now though, could he be turning the page on his "Diva" style, and becoming a PLAYER?

I think so. Let's talk about the week ... Read More
