Andrew Luck Returning to Stanford
Surprising news today as Andrew Luck has decided to pass over the NFL and return to Stanford for his junior season. Luck would have been the #1 pick so the decision is a head-scratcher especially with coach Jim Harbaugh likely on his way out. This development will shake up the top of the draft and the Panthers have to be very disappointed that the potential franchise QB is no longer there for them. Players like DE Da'Quan Bowers, DT Nick Fairley, or WR A.J. Green now have a shot to be the f...

First Look at Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker
Stills taken on the set of the Spider-Man reboot have provided the first opportunity to see Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. He is seen in the images with the blonde Emma Stone who plays Gwen Stacy. The movie has been filming for a month and is set for July 3rd 2012 release. Garfield was excellent in The Social Network, and I'm a big fan of Marc Webb after 500 Days of Summer, so I have some faith that they are going to pull this off. I'm not a big fan of his out of control hair or finger-less...

Da’Quan Bowers Declares For Draft
As expected junior Clemson defensive end Da'Quan Bowers has declared for the NFL Draft. Bowers won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the best defensive player in college football racking up 67 tackles and leading the nation with 16 sacks. The breakout season followed up two years where he totaled only four sacks. Bowers is expected to go at the top of the draft, potentially even as the #1 pick if Andrew Luck were not to come out. He could be a good fit for Carolina in that case or Cincinnati at #4...

#3 of 2010: NCAA Football 11
Coming off a flat year that created some concern about the future viability of the franchise, NCAA Football 11 stepped up with significant improvements to gameplay and valuable feature additions. Sales numbers got a bump of 8% in the first month showing how the proper priorities could result in a shift of consumer interest, but even accounting for that the series has not been able to display necessary growth throughout the generation. Regardless NCAA Football 11 has become arguably the most co...
