ouch...not even close. It's too bad.

You'd be surprised how many student-athletes have kids. I'm sure your right about that. I just don't understand why this kid is making things difficult for himself. A baby is just one more obstacle and distraction. He has talent, but I question his work ethic and priorities. If he backs up the girl and kid the way he needs to, and never sees a D1 FB game, seems to me his priorities are fine. Good luck to them all. Go Zips. ++ on that!! But I bet one guy in a grey vest won't necessarily agree. I'll take that bet. I think Jim Tressel would be the first person to tell him that his family is his FIRST priority. From everything i've heard, Tressel is a good person and not your average D1 cutthroat football coach. With that said, screw the Buckeyes.

While i agree with the first 98% of what you said, i think we will at least win 4 or 5 games. We have too much talent to not get lucky a few more times than twice.

Oh really? What NCAA football do you recommend? Oh wait. This is the only one. Yay property rights licensing and capitalism... Exactly, when the only one offered is terrible it doesn't leave many options. At least with College Basketball you have College Hoops 2k8 still which has a great community that comes out with updated rosters every month or so, the most recent 2k sports college football game was so long ago it wasn't even on Xbox360/PS3.

Wont buy a college football game that doesn't have the info. Plus EA sports games are garbage.

What's 1350's "range"? 1 mile? 106.9 was finally a chance to really pick up a Zips game that actually somewhat came in anywhere outside of downtown/campus in Akron.

That may be true, but recognize that "tampering" is against NBA rules. It sure looks like tampering brought Wade, Bosh, James, and Pat Riley together after their Olympics together. However, like all other NBA rules, the "tampering" rule apparently does not apply to "elite" players and coaches. Seems that NBA rules off the court are as big a SHAM as they are on the court. Well the Cavs and Raptors would be stupid to push for a tampering investigation considering they both just signed and traded their guys, wouldn't that look like a little odd? Good news is, Mark Cuban has already said he will push for an investigation if Cleveland/Toronto dont.

OK then, what top recruit has chosen UA because of LeQuit? With all of these top athletes rolling through the JAR, shouldn't we have scored a coup or two if LeQuit were so influential? Hasn't happened. If I told you that Art Modell wanted to sponsor UA football in some manner, would you agree that it was a great idea? LeBron's name is already mud and the trajectory is only rocketing downhill from here. Watch as all of the bad mojo starts rolling out about the Queen. The writers at the PD are already letting some of the slime from the LeQuit era roll out and it's going to get uglier folks. It will not be a good thing for UA to be affiliated with this punk and his clown posse. If that means that Romeo and Dru become miffed, tough. They and their combined legacy with that idiot are also losers in this deal. This is what happens when you worship an eleven year old kid and later surround him with nothing but homies and sycophants. It's time to cut all ties, UA. +1

screw lebron...any real akronite or zips fan would know that lebron embarrassed the entire region with his actions and could care less about his hometown. He's an all talk ego maniac and i for one would rather UA just cut ties. If he loved Akron so much why didnt he build his house here? Why all the way out in Bath? Also if he loves the U so much why hasn't he donated any money towards a new arena?

He signs with Cleveland, everybody forgives him. Don't post, "not me" because you are in the minority. He hasn't killed anybody. If he re-signs i think it may be the majority forgiving him but there will be a sizeable group of people who have had enough. I am one of them.

Kind of like Cowlumbus and everyone thinking they are Buckeyes fans because we are somewhat close to there.

NEO doesn't have a heart left to be stabbed. It's been blown up, burned, smashed, shot, electrocuted, and buried. As long as he continues to give to this community, I don't care where he goes. I do, he's a disloyal scumbag regardless. If Jim Thome had been from my hometown (Wadsworth) and then left the Tribe the way he did (lying about saying he would take less money and stay with the team)i would still feel the same way. I root for the home TEAM not some individual that thinks he's bigger than the game himself. Honestly i was all for LeBron before this circus he created in the last month or so. Now i could care less about the douche.

You hit the nail on the head...EA sports does not have one superior sports game over a genre that has a competitor let alone the ones where they dont. Id rather play NFL2k5 for regular Xbox than play any new Madden edition.

With his natural agility and the strength im sure he's adding, i dont think moving up and down the floor will be a problem. Now he will also be moving the opposing center along with him. Zeke is going to DOMINATE next year.

I dont know if anyone has stated this but to be honest, i find soccer alluring and exciting because of the lack of scoring. If only they could do away with ties entirely then i would be very satisfied with the sport. The stress and the desperation to score makes the game very exciting. Each goal means so much more than any other sports' score/run/point. Though sometimes you have teams that just play back for the tie or for the shootout. Ya know maybe if they gave both teams a loss if they tied it would force some more aggressiveness and scoring?

I still dont buy the whole "i like scoring" mindset everyone has. If that was the case Bowling and Cricket would be the most popular sports in the world. Btw, Cricket is great so maybe you are all right.

It almost certainly started in Africa, but never gained mainstream recognition anywhere else until the World Cup. But there are plenty of pictures available that show the Rowdies using the horns last year and the year before. Actually....(history lesson here): There is strong evidence supporting Moises Garcia of Spain inventing the cheer at a bullfighting arena in the 1930's. Where it gets fuzzy is how it spread everywhere else. Some say he brought it to Cuba when he relocated there and due to baseball being popular there it spread to Mexico and the United States. Though, there are other stories with it originating in Mexico as well, most likely the reason why it is called "The Mexican Wave" in the UK.

Regardless of what you think about him, it's alarming to think that such a fix is in on NBA games. The scary thing is, if it's all true I still think I would watch.

Are you sure?
