if you’re like me and love MyCareer—which with Longshot and The Journey being MIA this year is now the best singleplayer sports game mode by default

a great big invisible generator of narratives, programmed by the powers that be to gin up controversy, conflict, whatever keeps people dialed in

If you don’t want to say “we” when referring to the team you’ve spent way too much time following and caring about your entire remembered life, then don’t, nobody cares. If you’re the kind of person who insists on going out of your way to tell other people they shouldn’t say “we” if they feel that strongly about a…

The Deadchan Dead Letters would be a sight to see.

Be there, or don’t. At this point, what difference does it make?

I saw Doug Marrone wearing a white-washed logo visor in his postgame and I thought they were just embarrassed to be associated with the Jaguars and were trying to minimize the connection.

The problem with it being “a completely optional boost” is that in a game like this, where these boosts make your characters more powerful and your characters can’t ever die because death is permanent, it feels really bad to just advance without doing what you can to min-max them. I know, the game isn’t actually that…

It wasn’t just fining him for missing practice, though that was stupid and led to the blowup last Tuesday or whatever. They had worked all that out! Mayock won the ridiculous manliness contest he was having and got Brown to issue a tearful apology in front of the entire team. He put him in his place, made the guy…

You’re falling into the same lazy all-black-and-white thinking as Brooks with terms like “dimensionless empowerment”. That’s not what telling your kids they have open-ended career options means. You can definitely do that while also having guiderails and making sure your kid doesn’t completely screw his life up.

The…

Can’t wait for next week’s news cycle, Trumpy brownnosers insist to the media there is too a state called Ohiowa.

Is Steam forcing him to sign a legal agreement prohibiting him from selling this game on any other PC launching platform, as a condition of being able to be on Steam at all?

If so, please provide any evidence you have of that occurring, because, yes, that would in fact be just as outrageous as what Epic does.

The real reason Quistis got fired as a teacher that day after just one year on the job: she let one of her students walk out with the training GF equipped that was made very clear was supposed to stay in the damn cave.

This new rule, by the way, is very bad and last night we almost saw why with GB’s challenge of OPI.

Tom Clancy must have the best agent on earth.

Nothing says “this is where to find the young, tech-savvy demographic of sports fan” like a service wholly dedicated to that hot new sport sweeping the youth of the nation........boxing.

One would think a clearly tanking team might be an opportunity to see whether the young unproven quarterback you just traded a second-round pick for a few months ago actually has potential or not, so you have some idea of what your quarterback situation might look like as this rebuild progresses.

Or, that guy can just…

I really don’t get it. Tunsil is like their actual best player right? How is it an “easy decision” to throw away the cornerstone of your offensive line and the only good draft pick you’ve made in years, along with another 3rd round pick, for a one-year rental of a $20M a year player, in the *hopes* that maybe a year…

Only if I can imagine the seven- or eight-figure salary that comes with getting booed.

The soccer comments are dickish because Billy has been told the same complaints about his writing over and over and over for years - enough with the ridiculous paragraph-long run-on sentences, the use of fourteen paragraphs to make an incredibly banal point that could have been made in two sentences, the constant…

Yep, the Rockies are now 5th in attendance this year despite one of the worst seasons in years. Why? Because you can still get cheap seats, and it’s a beautiful stadium and fun experience. People don’t go when you charge them $30+ apiece to sit in the upper deck for a meaningless game.
