It's unfair to compare LeBron and Wade. While both are fantastic players, Wade has a team of superstars around him and LeBron has...himself.

He was released from the hospital today. By all accounts, he'll be playing this season, if not starting the season opener against Miami. And a big roll of the eyes to whomever made the Carson Palmer comments. Kimo was blocked into dude's knee, get over it.

Has FIFA announced any reason they prefer an 18-team league? I read through the thread and didn't see anyone say anything about this, just speculation.

FYI: It's only 15 dollars at Circuit City.

I would recommend Madden over all other football sims. I liked certain parts of the 2K series (the ESPN presentation was cool, especially the replays of the first half on XBox), but I HATE the passing game. My only major gripe with Madden is when the CPU-ran offense becomes unstoppable. It doesn't happen all the time, but man, is it annoying when it does.

I'd have to say this has been the most exciting NBA Playoffs in a long, long time. Glad to see two clubs looking for their first championship in the finals. Being a longtime Shaq fan, I'd like to see him bring this one home. Dallas has a team that could be great for years to come, Shaq doesn't have as much left in the tank. That being said, I'm also enjoying some parity within the league. The Clips played some great ball this year (now 2 competitive teams in LA), Dallas, Suns, Spurs, Detroit, Cleveland etc. etc. Lots of teams will be back in the hunt next year.

Playing FIFA 06 and watching the build up to this on ESPN has gotten me really excited for this year's World Cup. I've never been too into football before, but man, it was awesome seeing how rabid the German home crowd was today in their match vs. Costa Rica. One observation from a novice fan is that Costa Rica looked very, very overmatched. Germany seemed to control the game from all aspects (from what I watched), save that first breakaway goal. I'm really hoping the US can advance. Did I read right in that they were robbed in the 02 Cup? MLS has seemed to catch on somewhat here in the States, if the US can fare well, I think it can push a little higher.

One interesting part about the Dreamcast is that the games are in CD-ROM format, so you can find a lot of burnt copies of games if you look around. Plus, burnt Japanese games can play on it without modification. Fire Pro Wrestling on the DC is pretty sweet.

A good bet would be to look it up on youtube.com - just as a suggestion.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good American Football sim I can download for free? I'm talking abandonware/freeware, as the title suggests. Thanks.

I'm so glad they resolved the cliffhanger in the first episode and didn't drag it out. I get a weird vibe about Jeri Ryan's character. I read in an interview with the show's creator that she may be working for someone and in turn, watching Kirsten in rehab. Did anyone else think that after Ryan woke up they were going to try to write it all off as a dream?

3 Doors Down. I hated Kryptonite when it first came out, just due to how much it was played on the radio at the time. Also, Fall Out Boy has won me over after much initial resistance.

It's been a great year for G.O.O.D. Music. First John Legend's Get Lifted (one of the best albums all year), then Common's Be (my favorite hip hop album until...), and finally Kanye's Late Registration. I'm a big fan of Hey Mama, My Way Home, Touch The Sky and the singles.

Thanks for that informative answer, Mr. Fountain of Information
