I have a confession to make: I still haven’t bought a NextGen console. You’re probably thinking, “Why the hell should I believe anything this guy says when he’s not even in the current generation!” Totally fair, but to be honest, any game that people may come close to deeming a “system seller” isn’t going to be released until 2014.
Lets be clear: I do not like Alex Rodriguez. I think he is one the most idiotic fusions of oblivity and narcissism we will see in sports for decades.
There were perhaps no bigger shoes to fill than those of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, who is arguably the greatest coach/manager of all time in any sport. In about 26 years as club manager, he won five FA Cups, four League Cups, two Champions League titles and an astounding 13 English Premier League championships.
It’s been a couple days since the dust from the Capital One Bowl settled, and it’s never too early for a little reflection.
Well, it’s pretty much official. Multiple sources are telling reporters that Johnny Manziel has selected an agent and will forego two whole years of NCAA eligibility for the riches and, more importantly to him, the freedom of the National Football League.
With the Packers’ winless record since Aaron Rodgers’ injury, word has begun to spread that Rodgers may miss the remainder of the season. There has also been speculation that he could return as soon as Sunday to play the Falcons.
A number of weeks ago, I wrote about an amateur videographer named Chad. Chad is the bane of my existence for a plethora of reasons. However, in my last column, I stuck to his videography skills—or lack thereof. This time, I am here to talk about Chad, the (personal) space invader.
Sports are an entertaining spectacle. But there are those dull days when the expected results fall one-by-one into place.
So I don’t write a lot about acting, pretty simply because I’m a person who wants to make movies and so I think about movies more through the lens of people who produce the films, and not those who perform in them. Which is dumb, because actors are as big a part of a movie as the director or editor. So I’m going to fix it.
Ultimately, sports are about one thing: winning. Despite the countless parallels and analogies that can be drawn from sports, one team wins and one team loses. We play and watch sports to see who is the best.
It took about 10 years—since I first became interested in literature—but this summer, I finally realized that Thornton Wilder was a great writer.
It’s finally arrived. The week everyone waits for all year is upon us. No, I’m not talking about E3—it’s Video Game Awards week on Spike! Sometimes on warm summer nights, I wake up in a cold sweat just thinking how far away the prime video game awards show is. My body defies science purely out of excitement.
That Alabama-Auburn game was awesome, quite possibly the greatest ending to a game of that significance we’ll see in our lifetime. But once the adrenaline had faded away, the question began to creep in. “Does Auburn jump Ohio State?”
Dec. 2, 1409: Frederick I, Elector of Saxony and his brother William found Leipzig University, which is the second oldest university in the world.
Nov. 25, 1120: The White Ship drowns, taking with it William Adelin, King Henry I’s only son/heir.
It is officially basketball season, and the NBA and college basketball are in full swing. It’s the time of year when basketball momentarily allows you to forget about the frigid weather outside.
Americans are starting to watch soccer, but now what?
Gather ‘round folks, and I shall spin you a yarn. It’s a mighty tale that I’ve to tell. A tale of men. A tale of movies. A tale standing taller than the mightiest oak in the forest. A legend, more accurately—a legend about roller disco.
As college football reaches its climax, it’s important to remember that nothing is set in stone. Until the final BCS rankings hit the shelves on Dec. 9, no one is safe.
William Faulkner once said, “Let the writer take up surgery or bricklaying if he is interested in technique. There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut.” I can imagine surgeons and bricklayers taking umbrage against such a remark, since there is probably no shortcut to get the surgery done and no shortcut to get the bricklaying done.
