Looks like USC hasn't been grabbed yet. I'll take them.

pk- Perhaps that was poorly worded of me. But I don't owe Jackdog a thing. If you've lost a brother and a leg and the most you've learned from the experience is to respond to another man's death with "Let's go Rangers" and thereby glorifying the thing that killed that man, then you need to keep ...

People are welcome to disagree with me. That's fine. But I'm not spitting on the man's grave at all. Just the opposite- I seem to be the only one who cares that he is actually dead. I would have been much happier seeing him stay put and play football on Sundays and then go on and retire and live his ...

Not to minimize the warrior ethos but not every soldier enlists to protect our collective freedoms. They do so because it provides them certain vocational and educational opportunities. There are a lot of reservists who will probably return to nonexistent jobs and disrupted family lives. I doubt ...

Aye-yai-yai ... I start a thread to deliver some sad news and pay tribute to a fallen U.S. soldier, and it devolves into this.

Next time I'll keep my fingers quiet, I guess.

No wonder this upcoming presidential election is going to be the nastiest, most contentious and mud-slinging political ...

I've been playing two to three games a day, and for the most part it's been great. Lag will definitely impact the experience, but it's something you can adjust for, and as long as you have minimal lag, there are no complaints (other than the fact that for some reason my stats get reset whenever I ...

I fail to see where I was joking. I expressed my condolences at Tillman's death, and went on to a completely different subject, the matter of whether or not the Cardinals stadium will be named in his honor (which it should be) or whether Bill Bidwell will sell out, which he most assuredly will. If ...

"Poor Pat. What a disastrous decision on his part."


I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, sean, but that doesn't sound good at all. Pat is the epitome of what an American Hero is. This is a guy who took it upon himself to see a need, get off his ass (and stay off his high horse, I might add ...

Poor Pat. What a disastrous decision on his part.

I wonder if the Cardinals will do the right thing and christen their new stadium Tillman Field, or if they'll sell out and slap on a corporate name. Wait, why am I even asking?

Get ready for Yahoo stadium.

I can't believe Debarge was unable to crack the top five with Rhythm of the Night.

My man is definitely not married. Def-in-ite-ly.

Game time can be defined as a) when the wife is out b) when the wife is asleep c) when the wife is on the phone or d) when the wife is nowhere to be found and you should be calling the police but figure you'll get a couple of games in first.

Not a problem. It ended up not being a good time for me, anyway. But I'm sure we'll hook up sooner or later.

No, I beat Rob and posted the score weeks ago. (I think it was 48-20, something along those lines.)

What's going on with the tournament? I'm still waiting for a third round opponent.

These are all good tips. Good to know about the merc ability to use the A button- I'd forgotten about that and was finding it a bit too hard to fend off aggressive spies as a result. I would add these suggestions:

1. Hide your mines and spy traps. Try placing mines in spots which aren't visible to ...

Here's what my list would look like:

1. Halo- Probably the best game ever made. Period.
2. ESPN Football- The best sports game on the Xbox, and the release of the next one is still far enough away to ensure that you get your money's worth, especially if you buy a used copy.
3. NBA Inside Drive 2004 ...

I already traded in RB6 for ESPN, as I was finding the online play a little stale. I'm actually getting fairly annoyed at Splinter Cell as well, as the 12 year olds have finally found a way to ruin games (i.e. setting them to infinite time and infinite lives and then running around as spies dropping ...

I'm with you on the NCAA front, although I must say that it's going to be tough going back and forth between the two football titles. I just recently re-purchased NCAA 2004 after having spent the last five months playing nothing but ESPN, and I was amazed at how differently the two games play ...

Good freakin lord. If I was able to play WE, NCAA, Madden and the full Sega lineup on XBL...I'm not sure I'd be able to hold a job.

Cincy- If you're up late, I'm good for a game, although it will have to be with headset off. Indians-Reds?

No to the roster updates. Yes to changing your lineup and starting pitcher before the game starts.

Online is not a waste of time at all, and that's with the pitches coming at regular speed. After my first game or two, where I was striking out repeatedly, I adjusted to the slight delay and I don't think I've scored under six runs since (which is not a game flaw, but rather speaks to how guys have ...

So what is the verdict on online play???

I have not seen a whole lot mentioned here...



The 2 main gripes I've heard about online play is people that throw nothing but junk out of the zone the whole time and people who use the Cubs or the Red Sox and use starters as their relievers.

I'm going ...

The game is a blast online. Once you get a feel for it, even a bit of lag can't throw you off. I played a beanball war type game, Mariners-Cubs, where we each got two pitchers tossed for hitting batters (very frustrating to try and get Prior's pitch count up only to have him tossed and see Kerry ...

Well, I just picked up ESPN today and played two online games back to back. The first one was Yankees-Giants with me as SF, and it was damned near impossible to hit thanks to some noticeable lag. I gave up three runs in the first inning until I realized how to take advantage of the lag, then Jason ...
