Less Than A Week Until NCAA Football 08 Is Out!
Tuesday is the official on-sale date for NCAA Football 2008 — with special Boise State action! — and Peter Schrager at Fox Sports catches up with the guy who puts in all the player names to fill the "Illinois QB No. 7" listings. Apparently there's been some sort of controversy involving the guy, bu...

That Guy Has Little Length Or Upside
We hope you've been properly scoping out the scouting combines and you've jotted down all your 40 times, because today is The Championship Gaming Series is holding its draft today....
With Special "Look For Real Killers" Action!
This is going to sound morbid, but we've always wanted the opportunity to play as O.J. Simpson in a football video game. His combination of speed, power and downfield slashing action, we've always thought, would make us unstoppable. And, of course, deadly....
The Return Of Tecmo Bowl
We don't know how we missed this piece of news yesterday, but The Fanhouse has the scoop: They're bringing back Tecmo Bowl!...
Gripping Footage From XTREME Baseball
You might remember our XTRME BASEBALL! post for a few days ago, but now it looks like there's some new footage out there of the league's opening night game....
Wait ... Why Is There A Guy Next To The Mound ... And ... Oh, Jeez, We Give Up
Here's today's pointless, needlessly confusing pseudo sport: The National Xtreme Baseball League, which has two batters, a ton of extra fielders and the potential for 29 people on the field at once. It makes no sense at all, and we feel for the players "interviewed" in the promotional video, most of...
We're Still Cheesed About Nirvana On That Baseball Video Game
We know we touched on this Friday, but it stuck in our craw over the weekend. Turns out that Courtney Love, an entirely stable person who should absolutely be trusted with one of the more valuable music catalogs of the last 50 years, has sold the rights to Nirvana's "Breed" to be played on the Major...
Please Do Not Reveal The Surprise Ending Of The Asian Games
You know that Indian athlete whom you thought had won the women's silver medal in the 800 meters at the Asian Games? The one you kind of have a crush on? Well, how can we put this delicately? She actually keeps her toilet seat in the locked and upright position. Um, she never saw Steel Magnolias, ...
God, The Full Monty, And You
In Western religion, most of us figure that God has already seen us naked on multiple occasions. And he ain't that impressed. Just look at Exodus 19:21 for proof: "And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish. But ...
Join The Bowl Game Pants Party, If You DARE
For those of you still paying attention, we're still running our NFL Pants Party Pick 'Em league; with 2,512 entrants, a man/woman named "T. Clark," and his/her entry "Inst. of Victory Science" is comfortably in first place, with 132 correct games picked. (That's actually eighth in the entire ESPN.c...
The Asian Games Will Brook No Shenanigans
As if you didn't know, the Asian Games begin today in Doha, Qatar. And no one involved is taking any chances. One of the events is chess (seriously), and before they can compete, all participants had to be tested for performance enhancers....
Yeah, We Want To Simulate THIS Guy
A couple of weeks ago, we told you about JJ Redick's appearance on the cover of NCAA College Hoops 2K7. Well, it turns out, it's much worse than you thought: They're actually doing the whole mo-cap suit thing to simulate his movements....
Hey, Kids, Let's Play Nintendo!
Thanks to SporTech Matter for this beauty of a find: It's the actual original 1987 television commercial for RBI Baseball, the Nintendo game that we (and, we suspect, the majority of you) spent most our youth playing until we were yelled at to go to bed....
I Like It When You Call Me Big...Pansy?
Red Sox bohemoth David Ortiz appears to be enjoying his black catsuit and mothball ensemble a little too much. Ortiz is this year's cover boy for the MLB '06 video game. He also enjoys late night strolls along the beach, pottery class and snuggling next to the fireplace....
It's The End Of The Boom Run, And We Don't Feel Fine
As we've written before, though not here, we love the Great Outdoor Games on ESPN: It's pretty much the highlight of baseball's All-Star Weekend for us, definitely more fun than the game. We can never decide which we enjoy more: The fierce rivalry between the Hoeschler sisters in women's log rolli...
Lawrence Taylor Meets Ron Mexico
We've written about this a couple of times, but now that the game's almost out, we feel obliged to point it out again: The great Ron Mexico — or Mike Mexico — returns in Blitz: The League, essentially the video game version of "Playmakers," the ESPN show in which every player was either a drug add...
The Return Of Little Mac
Mad propers to The Mighty MJD, who came across a short film we'll be watching all day: "The Return Of Little Mac, a dramatic rendition of what the "Mike Tyson's Punch Out" hero might be up to these days. Tortured by visions of Bald Bull, haunted by his lone victory over Mike Tyson, sitting in a ba...
Flava Flav, The Video Baller
Tired of playing video games as players who can dunk, pass, shoot and do all those types of things? The upcoming NBA Live takes care of that for you by allowing you to play as rappers, including Flava Flav, Method Man and Common. We can't wait to see Flava Flav's turnaround jumper; we suspect he'...
