The Blog for the Sports Gamer Three guys who love Sports Gaming rant and rave about various stuff.

Sunday notes

- Wow.  Usain Bolt just ran a 9.58 in the 100 meter dash.  It's amazing to think of how fast he could possibly be.  They're talking about him not having a great start.  That man could break 9.5 within the next few years.  Absolutely astounding.

- I'd be lying if I didn't think that I thought Prince Fielder would taper off after the Home Run derby, but he is just hitting some mammoth home runs of late.   This one from earlier in the week was one of the most impressive home runs that I've seen in a long time.   He's now leading the league in RBI's as well.  Quite a season for the Prince and it's nice to see the team starting to play a bit better around him.

- Talking about the Packer pre-season game last night would be fun, if it wouldn't be pointless.  There were some fun things to be seen from the defense (which never really showed up last year) and there were a few nice performances (Desmond Bishop and Tyrell Sutton were standouts in my opinion,) but it's preseason... and there isn't much to find there... other than the fact that we get to watch some football again.

- As Dan said before, anything that we gain from the Amazon purchases goes straight into site stuff (such as prizes and the like.)  So, using that link does help us out a bit here... and helps you indirectly as well.

- Lastly, here are Michael Vick's ratings for Madden 10.   Doesn't seem like there is a huge drop off from '08, but yet his overall rating is down almost 20 points.  Interesting... It's not like they can objectively say that he doesn't throw the deep pass as well... they just have to make some guesses and get him into the game.
