It’s a little late to be asking for Christmas gifts, but I still have some wishes… er, suggestions for the next cycle of sports video game titles. Look, I spend a lot of quality hours with these games (way too much, actually) and I love how far they’ve come. But nobody’s perfect, right? So here’s [...]

There’s no question that NBA Live 10 has improved from last year. Since the 2009 model, Electronic Arts has added polish and detail, while improving Dynamic DNA and player AI. As a hoops junkie, the series is getting closer to what I want: A realistic basketball title. That’s because I want to run a proper [...]

After a 29-15 loss to the Jets, the Indianapolis Colts are now 14-1. They still have the AFC’s number-one seed on lockdown, and they’ll have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Bob Knight was a bit of a crazy man, that’s for sure. But he also embraced the motion offense, one of basketball’s most effective systems. It’s a scheme that began as early as the 1920s, before Oklahoma State became the first college program to feature it under head coach Frank Iba. The Cowboys won back-to-back [...]

Everything had gone right since the 2007 playoffs… The Super Bowl win against the 18-0 Patriots, the NFC’s best record last season and a perfect 5-0 mark to start the year.
