- Ever have one of those games where you feel like everything you do, the CPU just pulls the rug out from under you? I just finished up my Madden league game between the Rams and the Lions. Detroit returned a fumble for a TD and a kickoff for a TD in the game. I was down by 9 points midway through the 4th, managed to put together a TD drive, then forced a 3 and out to get the ball back with about 2:15 to go. I drove down to the 1 to kick a field goal with :01 on the clock. I popped up the kickoff and they proceeded to return it to the 13 yard line with the last man I held back managing to make the tackle to save the game. Crazy game. Never seen a game of Madden like it.
- So, the next PS3 firmware is adding the ability to notify people on Facebook as to when you purchase something from the store or get a trophy. Like my friends don’t know that I’m a big enough geek, they need play-by-play to know how much time I waste on my PS3? Um, no. I’ll be passing on that feature… same goes for the 360.
- As for the Belichick call… Personally, I thought it wasn’t the right time to make a call like that. It seems to show that you have little faith in your defense being able to stop Manning if you punt the ball away. Even if the percentages are in the 60+ range of getting the first down… there was too much at stake in the game to take that chance. The way it is now, they’re 3 games out of homefield throughout, plus with the Bengals most difficult part of their schedule behind them, I would think that they would be difficult to catch as well. (Speaking of which, there is a good chance of the Bengals being 10-2 going into the matchup with the Vikings. That could be an awesome game.)
- Go Islanders. They are really starting to put together a solid start to the season and are playing very well at home and on the road. It was nice to see them (in HD, thankfully) put away a close game in the 3rd tonight.
- I’m heading to Chicago for the weekend and am debating taking in the Badger game against Northwestern. Anyone ever see a game in Evanston?
- Ok. Time for sleep. More gaming time tomorrow night… hopefully.
