The Blog for the Sports Gamer

There is nothing quite like spending 10 hours in a server room to make you want to play games….

- I’m really excited to play this years hockey games, but I just don’t know about picking up NHL09.  I really want to hear how different it is from last years version.  If there aren’t major improvements there… then I might just pass.

- So, what did I do yesterday after spending 10 hours in the car with my family?  Drop them off at home and go out and play hockey… I guess that’s how I roll.

- What I did play a good deal of this weekend was International Track and Field.  That game is terrific.  Easily the most fun DS sports game that has come out to date.  Hopefully a few more of you can pick it up so Dan and I have more people to compare scores with.

- I got Madden Wii Play via Gamefly today.  Damn queue… I was hoping to get a hockey game instead.  Pisser.

- In local sports… the Brewers have really taken the tail pipe.  I’m absolutely floored that they have a 3 game lead in the Wild Card.  They absolutely cannot hit the ball right now and when they do have a late lead, they blow it, as they did tonight.  You have to hope for more than 4 wins on an 11 game homestand, but that’s the best they can hope for at this point.

The Badgers had better figure out how to play defense in the first 2 quarters of a game, because Fresno State will rough them up big time if they don’t figure that out this week.

Great win for the Packers tonight.  They were pushed around by the Vikings on the ground tonight, but they managed to make enough big plays to pull out a win.  Rodgers looked like a great “game manager” and didn’t make any big mistakes that could have cost the team.

I’ll post more tomorrow if I pick up NHL09.  I’m just weak enough to do it, you know….
