The Blog for the Sports Gamer

1. I don’t think I’ve ever seen as much rain as we’re having right now here in Wisconsin. Just about every body of water that I see on the way to work is about well over it’s shores. There is a little ‘waterfall’ (as Gaby calls it) that is right next to her daycare. Usually the drop is about 3 to 4 feet. Today, the drop was around 6 inches. Considering the fact that it’s still raining, I bet by the end of the day it’s just going to look like part of the river. What’s comical about it is that we didn’t have any rain for about a month before the rain started and things were brown and awful looking everywhere. Now we’ve had rain pretty much every day for well over a week… and it’s supposed to keep raining for the next few days, take the weekend off, and start again. It’s just plain nuts.

2. On a lighter note, I was reading Variety today and saw that NBC is bringing back American Gladiators to TV. Great. That’s just the kind of TV that we need.

3. 65 Pro Wrestlers, below the age of 50, have died since 1997. 65!?! To hell with being concerned about steroids in baseball, I think there is somewhere else that George Mitchell should be focusing his attention.

4. Activision is including a Guitar Hero III demo on the newest Tony Hawk game for the 360. I never really thought that the Guitar geek crowd and the Skater game geek crowd were one in the same, but I guess I was wrong.

5. CompUSA is selling Crackdown for 360 for $17.49. Use ONCAMPUS and get free shipping. I know a lot of people bought this game for access to the Halo 3 beta, but it’s actually a very fun sandbox game. It’s well worth that price. (Updated: Sold out online. Bummer)

6. Whatever happened to Dan’s trivia?
