Kaybee Sale! - 30% off Games and Accessories

I can´t recall if it´s for items $30 and up or 30% off total bill as long as it´s $30 or more before sales tax. <BR> <BR>Sale ends 10/14. Started 10/8. Not on their web site, only in stores apparently. <BR> <BR>Edit: Hopefully they get NBA Live and Jak II before sale ends. Also rumors of a Toys R Us...

ESPN Football League???

I sign up for as many leagues as possible, which is 4 with one name. But you can make more than one name. <BR> <BR>Even with a low number, it´s a good way to play games and have it all stat-tracked. Getting random games is kind of tedious. When you go into a room, you might see 4 or 5 guys available...

ESPN NFL, Somewhat Disappointed--Does it compare to NCAA 200

I´m playing both ESPN and Madden online. I played about 100 games of NCAA online, including the SR league, and sold it to concentrate on the others. Yeah the atmosphere or presentation was fun but if you want to complain about having the least amount of control, NCAA had the least, from more momentu...

Are Dynasties good or bad for sport?? (long)

They also lost Chad Brown, Greg Lloyd and some others. Not that they missed Brown necessarily because they got some great young LBs in the draft. But they might have lost continuity and depth. <BR> <BR>The Steelers probably have no complaints because as I said, the Rooney´s were the biggest proponen...

Are Dynasties good or bad for sport?? (long)

It´s well known that one of the Rooney´s pushed for the NFL cap. They particularly didn´t like newcomer owners like DeBartolo freely spending their way to the top. <BR> <BR>The Steelers do stay at the cap (unlike the Bengals) but they´ve lost their share of talent to free agency. Until they got a ne...

Are Dynasties good or bad for sport?? (long)

Salary caps weren´t put in purely for competitive reasons. Mostly financial, as owners wanted to limit spending period. In the NFL, when certain owners were willing to spend whatever it took to field winners, other owners pushed for the cap so that they wouldn´t look bad in comparison (hello, Bears ...

Too many new games coming out

Yeah there are too many games that seem at least worthy of rentals. Last year, I bought 4 or 5 all season and played Madden online up to August. Budget was made easy by a strong disposition to get only online games. <BR> <BR>Well this year, that strategy won´t work because there are so many online g...

I don´t know, don´t you want to cultivate 10-year old readers like SR apparently does?

<BR>Can´t you put something into the metatags so that this site is indicated to be having adult content?
