Golf, NASCAR are not sports.
Filed Under Sports, commentary | Leave a Comment
Despite what you hear on TV, Golf and NASCAR are not sports.
Sure, they take skill, they compete against one another, but they aren’t sports.
So what is a sport?
My definition of a sport is an athletic contest in which one team (even consisting of 1 player) tries to score, and at the same time another team is trying to defend the act of scoring. Without the aspect of defense, the activity is either a game or an athletic competition. The Olympics, by in large, are athletic competitions.
Golf, Bowling, NASCAR Racing and Billiards all lack the aspect of defenders preventing scoring. Golf, bowling and billiards are games of skill. NASCAR racing is a game of skill with athletic and technological aspects playing a vital role.
Horse racing is more of an athletic competition of the horses.
Without the aspect of “playing defense”, an athletic competition can not be a sport.
THAT, my friends, is the difference.

Newsflash: ‘Heroes’ steals another comic book idea; We still refuse to care.
Filed Under Entertainment and Sports, TV | Leave a Comment
The authors here at TA are both unabashed fans of the show ‘Heroes.’ It’s a great show. If I had one complaint, its that every hero is almost directly lifted from an existing archetype from the existing comic universe. I’m only tangentially familiar with comic books any more, but I see most of the connections. Today on CNN.com, they announce the addition of the new Flash character, so the trend continues… I thought I’d pass this along:
Meet Daphne, the speedy new character on NBC’s “Heroes,” who plans to give the show’s superhumans — especially time traveler Hiro and his sidekick, Ando — a run for their money when she debuts on the popular NBC series’ upcoming third season, which went back into production last week. - CNN.com
I still refuse to care. I’ll be there as always.

Tecmo Bowl is Back! HutHutHike!
Filed Under Entertainment and Sports, Sports, video games | Leave a Comment
I’ve never been one to hide my nerdliness or my affinity for football. When the two meet, I tend to lose it, and today I find out about the rebirth of Tecmo Bowl… simply the greatest football series of all time. Madden’s got nothing on the simple charm of “HutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHutHike!” Real men need no more than 8 plays and if they’re feeling really manly… Four. No football game has ever, for me, replicated the simple fun of going 99 yards with Bo Jackson, or blocking every kick with Lawrence Taylor. So color me geeked to find out that they’re relaunching the franchise on the DS.
Here’s to hoping for a return to the simplicity that was its hallmark.
TECMO BOWL: KICKOFF brings a host of new features that will further enhance the gameplay experience, including:
• Customizable Teams: Choose team colors, emblems, player names, team cities and abilities.
• Super Abilities: Tactically use over-the-top plays to take over a game.
• Wi-Fi and Wireless Multiplayer: Play against friends across the country or across the room.
• Stylus Control: Feel the action by using the stylus to control your player.
• Variety of Teams: Choose from 32 different teams.
• Cut-Scenes: All-new cut-scenes showing off the dramatic presentation of various plays.
• Customizable Playbook: Prepare for gridiron greatness by customizing your playbook.
• Music and Sound Effects: Turn up the heat on your opponent as you play the game to rock ‘n’ roll remixes of the most memorable tunes in football gaming history!

New Star Wars Flick?
Filed Under Entertainment and Sports, movies | Leave a Comment
Okay people. You’ve all really let me down. How is there a new star wars movie opening in three months, and I was totally oblivious. The interwebs has failed me. I just caught the trailer for this on television, and I’m totally geeked. Anyone with more details, please hit up the comments.
