Sounds like a slam dunk case and I would love to see him rot in prison for as long as possible.. not plead out and get a cupcake sentence. Rehabbing his image when this is all over?!? Are you for real Dan? Mike Vick speaking out or doing documentaries about the evils of dogfighting sounds as sincere as Mel Gibson saying he isn't an anti-semite. The truth is out there and if he is contrite in an apology, it will only be because he got caught and his overpaid lifestyle is going to get significantly changed. <BR/><BR/>Madden the biggest thing in sports? Wow.. I will take the day after the MLB All-Star game over Madden day.. ok.. that's a stretch but I can honestly say I have never owned a Madden game, played a couple and never felt like I was missing anything.

I was looking more along the lines of the games competing across the two systems as in Halo 1, 2, and 3 not being on the PS 1,2, or 3 and Final Fantasy not being on the Xbox (which I have heard rumors where Final Fantasy will be coming to XBox)<BR/><BR/>In the end, Micrsoft is a company that deals primarily with PC's and intends to make money. Of course, the great exclusive games for the XBox will be recreated for PC's. I suspect gears and dead rising to also become available for PC in the future.<BR/><BR/>Sony does not have that luxary.Darklawdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10060727121837662812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-87601601158294216182007-08-14T14:56:00.000-04:002007-08-14T14:56:00.000-04:00All this talk about video games is boring....Anyon...All this talk about video games is boring....<BR/><BR/>Anyone up to challenge the master of Bubble Boy?

LT was the single greatest game changer, because as long as you could match the computer TD for TD, you'd win because he could tackle the holder before the kick. Ridiculous but fun, especially when playing against someone...they'd always get extremely pissed.verbal97https://www.blogger.com/profile/02282148454169067288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-7535710259074611152007-08-14T12:50:00.000-04:002007-08-14T12:50:00.000-04:00@revscottAmen.

Every Yankee fan loved him. We may have criticized others but he was untouchable. <BR/><BR/>I remember when there was a long rain delay and there was a rookie announcer working with Rizzuto. Rizzuto just took off and left the announcer by himself. When he came back he said that some guy did that to me his first year announcing. <BR/><BR/>I used to love the crazy stuff that would come out of his mouth. I remember some friends from out of town couldn't stand him as an announcer. I told them it was just because they weren't Yankee fans.<BR/><BR/>How can anyone here argue how good a bunter he was?
