    Posted December 20th, 2011 at 11:30 am 47 Comments »
    All the first round rookies have been added to NBA 2K12 through the series of roster updates over the last week with the exception of Bismack Biyombo who just signed with the Bobcats yesterday so he should be in the next one. Jonas Valanciunas, Donatas Motiejunas, and Nikola Mirotic are expected to remain overseas and if so would not be a part of 2K12. The biggest winners in having rookies added are obviously the teams that will have multiple contributors (Cavs, Jazz, Bobcats) but there a...

    Week 15 of the NFL season will be remembered largely for the significant upsets that took place. The undefeated Packers went down in a huge surprise while the winless Colts were able to avoid ending the season in that embarrassing fashion. Some of the players with standout weeks included the combo of Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson, Kyle Orton, Reggie Bush, Donald Brown, Antwan Barnes, Brandon Browner, Jason Babin, John Abraham, Aldon Smith, and Jason Pierre-Paul. As always leave your...

    A brand new trailer has arrived for the upcoming Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Nicolas Cage returns to the lead role of Johnny Blaze and this time actually plays not just the character but also alter-ego Ghost Rider (rather than a stuntman which did so in the first). The film also stars Idris Elba and Ciaran Hinds. Most excitingly the directing duo of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) takes over for a legit R-rated edge with high-intensity action. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeanc...

    ESPN continues to roll out the rosters for the upcoming EA Sports' reboot of NFL Blitz set for release on January 4th. The NFC West and South follow the NFC North and East which were detailed late last week. Each team carries seven offensive (QB, RB, 2WR/TE, 3OL) and seven defensive players (3DL, LB, 3DB) along with a kicker and punter. Again it seems to be that some of the roster inclusions are outdated and the limited number of slots means a few players that are probably worthy of being...
