Sword Fight!
Yesterday afternoon, our beloved BQ10 was getting his lumps.
It has happened to the best of them:
Peyton.
Elway.
Even Sipe.
Notice anything in common?
Yeah, a lot:
- Cold days in November
- Rookie QBs*
- Completion percentages below the .500 mark
- Multiple interceptions.
It's all there.

By now everyone's down-loaded the update and gotten a chance to peruse the "environment." I have too, and here are a few thoughts and grades . . . what are yours?

Of course my franchise started up before this whole blog thing did, so I'm a bit ahead.
So in the next couple of posts, I'll recap the 2009 season as quick as I can for you. . .

Having 2 first names isn't as cool if one of them is a girl's name. Just Saying.
As promised, here's the blow by blow of the text message marathon between me and my friend Casey Kulas (from WKNR) as we watched the MNF debacle last night:

V99: I guess it could be worse. Could.
KC: Brady
Jerome Harrison, AKA the second coming.
Let's get this straight: the Cleveland Browns won. I'm not denying that.
Yes they won. That is a fact. Technically.
Here are other so-called "facts":
1) Brady Quinn is 1-1 as a starter in the NFL.... Read More
2) Romeo Crennel can potentially bounce back from an 0-4 start to end up at .500
3) the Browns defense is at +100 in takeaways.
4) Jamal Lewis

Doug Jones was slow.
Jose Mesa was fat.
Bob Wickman was fatter. (And Slower)
Keith Folke was retired.
Joe Borowski was on 'roids. And slower still.
So let's just go ahead and admit it -- the Cleveland Indians could go out and sign just about anyone to be their "back of the bullpen help." If we've learned anything though -- it's ... Read More

So no gaming last night.
No Madden Franchise. No FIFA-ing. No demo downloads. No NCAA Dynasty. On-line? No. Heck, I didn't even start up Tetris on my iPhone.
It feels weird.
But it happens.
And I survived.
What happened? Real life happened: I worked. Then I had to cook dinner. Had to make a stop at ... Read More

Ok, so I grew up in Akron-Canton Ohio. Close enough to Cleveland to care, but too far away to really know exactly what was going on up in the "big city." Road trips to ball games weren't really on my parents' agendas (with the 4 other kids and school and union strikes and job losses and all that -- ah, the 80's, thanks Reagan-omics), and 56 miles is a long way to ride a BMX with ...

From negotiating trades to scouting new talent, MLB Front Office Manager has all the complexity and realism I could hope for in a game that is simulating what it means to be a Major League Baseball manager," said Oakland Athletics' General Manager Billy Beane.

Not that many people will care right off the bat -- but here's my first take at blogging in the "OS Arena." I think this could become something cool, but who knows?
If you like reading / listening to me rant, here's another blog I do:
