    I've written a few times about just how great Spartacus: Blood and Sand turned out in its first season. After a slow start it quickly became one of my favorite shows, very graphic and unpredictable, and with the balls to have mortality play a big part of the developments even with popular or seemingly important characters. It made for a entertaining ride that culminated in a completely satisfying conclusion. Unfortunately star Andy Whitfield got the news that he needed treatment for non-Hod...

    The Pro Bowl is hardly the most accurate way to assess the years that players are having. Some names get in more based on reputation or market exposure than performance in the current season.

In doing so there could be some overrated or underrated players exposed. (mo...

    Though there will be no roster update this week for Madden 11 the performances from NFL week 16 of course will factor into the next one. For the first time ever this posting goes up on a Wednesday, as it follows the completion of the rare Tuesday Night Football broadcast! The Pro Bowl rosters were announced yesterday so it is possible those will be updated coming up too. This was a relatively flat week in performances, which is particularly tough considering it was the Championship week for...
