It’s GTA only better
Here are some adventures from my first two hours of playing last night:
- Completed one true mission
- Knifed a couple thugs who had it coming
- Stole four cars, including a police cruiser
- Went to the bar with my cousin, got drunk and decided to drive home…
- … Somehow evaded the cops who saw me stumble into my car while intoxicated…
- … Drove so poorly (because of the intoxication effects) in successfully evading the cops the car just stopped moving after a collision. As we stumbled to the side of the road the vehicle exploded into a beautiful display of fire and debris.

Holy crap!
Two picks and the Steelers have already stolen the draft.
Of course, it’s only the second round… and it’s late April. But on paper, getting Rashard Mendenhall AND Limas Sweed could end up being a huge haul for Pittsburgh.
These are two of the best skill players in the draft. Ben Roethlisberger has to be ecstatic.
Does this mean more or less, or something else, for Willie Parker? Analysis of the more interesting selections and the ones that may impact the upcoming fantasy football season coming soon. I’m sure the Steelers will get mentioned.
So will the Washington Redskins, no first-round picks, but they get two of the top receivers in the field in Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas, good times for Jason Campbell.

You can’t tell me franchise QB Vince Young wouldn’t love to play pitch and catch with his college alum, a 6-4 beast that would give them a legitimate WR threat. And think of the fantasy footbal potential in that scenario… delicious, isn’t it?

‘Overall (Call of Duty 3) was great fun, but I think there were more glitches here than there were in the other two episodes.’
Call of Duty 3 is not just “another World War II game.” There are lots of World War II games out there, but if companies like Treyarch and Activision keep putting out gems like this, keep’em coming.
Much like the exquisite Call of Duty 2: Big Red One for Xbox and Call of Duty 2 for Xbox360, COD3 delivers and awesome, action-packed thrill ride. The shootouts can be intense and there are moments where you’re not sure if the waves of Nazi’s will ever end.

Contemplating topics for a fantasy baseball article, the only thing that came to mind was fantasy football and the NFL Draft.
Looking ahead to this Saturday’s draft I just cannot help thinking about the potential impact these players will have on the fantasy world. So, in that vein I have come up with a list of players that have the potential to be better or worse than the hype they are receiving.
