Today's blog goodness

1. Philip Rivers was the biggest Pro Bowl snub ever.
2. The Michael Phelps video game? Yes, there will be one.
3. JoePa is going to coach for 3 more years.
4. Are the Celtics even better than they were last year?
5. The Pro Bowl roster sucked. Here's ours.

Today's other FanIQ site goodness


1. Damn, that was one awesome shootout goal.
2. A Maria Sharapova quiz. I'll always take a Sharapova quiz.
3. Always a great question: What is the most hated team in sports?

Tonight's TV goodness

Tonight is all about the NBA, not college basketball. The Hawks nearly kicked the Celtics out in the first round last year, let's see if they can get some revenge. Also, Spurs/Hornets is another series that went down to Game 7 last season. I hate the Spurs, so go Chris Paul.

College men's basketball: North Carolina-Asheville at Duke (ESPN2, 7:30 p.m.); Siena at Pittsburgh (ESPN2, 9:30 p.m.).
NBA: Boston at Atlanta (ESPN, 7 p.m.); San Antonio at New Orleans (ESPN, 9:30 p.m.)

I disagree, I think it's one of the best games I've ever played.  Unlike this years' Madden, which is simply a disgrace to the series.  First year in a long time I haven't bought Madden, and I have no plan to in the future.

Yeah this years Madden is pretty weak. I usually rent the Madden once a season to check it out but I always get NCAA. I tried the very first Head Coach and just couldn't get into it.

This version of HC is LIGHTYEARS ahead of the first version.  Since you are a college guy, you'd enjoy how in depth the draft is, and the built in college storylines.  (There is 4 distinct draft paths, 60 unique drafts, Adam Schefter and Todd McShay in the game discuss how certain studs are doing during the college season and their pro hopes, it's pretty cool)

As a whole, it's ridiculously in depth.  Steep learning curve though.

That's why I like the College game. You get to play the games plus the recruiting. I really get into that.

The last NCAA game I played, the recruiting system was incredibly well made.  I just have trouble getting into it for the same reasons I don't like college football in general.

The draft and scouting on HC, you go through the combine, individual workouts, pro days, the works. The depth of the game is just insane.

I just like being able to play the games too. I don't know if they changed that but I remember you could only call plays and had to watch which was a tad boring.

That's how it is, but I think it adds a lot more fun to me.  Madden and NCAA, even on the hardest difficulties get to easy for me because even with crap talent, it's too easy to run the plays. 

That's the thing with HC, most people care more about controlling the players than anything else, that's why it will never be more than a niche game.  But I think it's very entertaining and is a great challenge.

I adjust the sliders and it gets a lot harder.

Yeah, but then it usually becomes absurdly unrealistic.  I stick to my Tecmo Super Bowl hacks when I want arcade-y goodness.

Chris Paul's my favorite player to watch in the league. 106 straight games with a steal is just ridiculous. That was a fun game to watch.
