Who said I was sane?

Yes, and, the other thing about modern sports games that I neglected to mention is that they're now *designed* to be played for years. The replayability of a game like Bill Walsh College Football was already high because of the various match-ups, season mode, etc. But a modern game like Tiger Woods, NCAA Football,…

I meant from a financial perspective. People just aren't shelling out $60 for a game that's perceived as 90% the same like they once did. I'm guilty of it myself, as I've gone to an every two- or three-years plan for Tiger Woods and NCAA, and an every-other-year plan for Madden.

I think sports video games, like network television, must evolve to meet current realities, or fail to do so and perish. Now that high-speed internet is nearly universal in the US, and downloadable games are becoming more the norm than the exception, the psychological element that allowed gamers to stomach (or even…

Seriously.

Even when most agree that ESPN was wrong? Also, the same company that puts First Take on the air is the arbiter for professionalism? Perfect.

I couldn't agree more. The risk of contact injuries is just so much higher in the NFL vs. even D-I football (which is substantial).

+1. I was going to say - this is true because all of these "mobile quarterbacks" are 22-24 years old. The reason the NFL is a pocket-passer league is that it's tough to make it to 27 playing that way. Let's see how things look in four years. I'm a Redskins fan, and I love RGIII, but I was worried about him from…

When I heard the news about CNN going from SI to B/R (stop and think about that for a second!), I honestly thought it had to be a hoax. Sadly, no. This is useful information, especially for someone like me who has found himself adding "-Bleacherreport" to every sports-related google search in the last six months.

I say not unprofessional. So, there we are.

Absolutely.

I don't think saying a beautiful woman is beautiful is unprofessional or disgusting. Need I go on?

"Creepy" is damn subjective. Would it have been creepy if Musberger were 43 instead of 73? Or is merely finding someone very attractive creepy, per se?

I said something similar in the original article, but - I'm about as liberal as they come (although I've discovered there are even a couple of Gawker writers to the left of me, seeing as how I don't want the Senate abolished). But I had no problem with this whatsoever. She is a beauty queen who is also the…

I dunno. I'm as lefty as they come, but I've never felt a game's protagonist had to look like me. Tomb Raider, The Walking Dead, Metroid, Ninja Gaiden, Sonic just to name the first few that pop in my head, were all great gaming experiences, and I didn't share the same race/gender/species with the protagonist. On…

First, did you even read the article? There's no rape allegation in the Hamline case. It was a punch in the face. I'm not defending it, but let's be clear. That leads to the second point: "BECAUSE ALMOST EVERYONE WAS INVOLVED." Really? Based on what? In reading the facts that have been released, it seems like a…

Very cool. Getting dusty . . .

I know! How dare he call a beautiful woman "beautiful!"

I would love to get upset and offended and totally "Jez out" because of this, while embracing the progressive ideal of gender- and sexuality-neutral broadcasting.

I wasn't saying that the two crimes are equivalent, "bro." I won't waste the explanation of nuance on you.
