Have a Safe and Wonderful Labor Day!
On a serious note, Labor Day is statistically the day when more people drink and drive than any other day… Um, how stupid is that?
Listen folks, don’t drink and drive. I enjoy a great beer as much as the next person. I just enjoy it in my home or where I can safely get home without getting behind the wheel of the car. Enjoy and use some common sense!… More »

Manu Ginobili Injury Update – Fantasy Impact
Manu Ginobili will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his ankle this week after re-injuring the ankle during the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Ginobili, who helped Argentina win the Bronze Medal, will likely miss between two and three months.

Sony Jumping on the Casual Bandwagon
Console bigwig, Sony, is trying its hand on the casual gaming platform – and its on PlayStation 3 too! The name of the game is Afrika. According to this article, it is a deviant from their usual lineup – no shooting, little action, no winning or losing, there isn’t an ending too. Hmm, that description doesn’t make it seem like a game at all.
In Afrika, players are given a great experience of touring a virtual African Safari as a photographer… More »
Chris Perry Starter – Fantasy Football Impact
Chris Perry has been named the starer at running back for the Cincinnati Bengals. That spot became open when the Bengals recently released Rudi Johnson.
Perry, he seems to be a player who has forever remained a fantasy football sleeper, has never been able to turn the corner on his career. He was drafted in the first round of the 2004 draft but has just 73 rush attempts in his career.
The biggest question mark regarding Perry is whether he… More »
Xbox Focused on Casual Games
Microsoft’s XBox Live Arcade has become an invaluable source of quality casual games, according to my source. The article said that if you haven’t tried connecting your Xbox to the internet, you must be missing out a whole lot! (I mean, look at those fine songs on Guitar Hero, man!) Most of the nice games there cost just $10 a pop!
These games are great to play for the whole family too!
So if you’re looking for that 15 minute game-brake… More »
