Goal Line Blitz – American Football MMORPG (Part II)

Ok so it would be facicous to say that I have been a little addicted to this game over the past 3 or 4 days.  However, I noticed I’m not the only one as nearly 100 people viewed and clicked the links for Goal Line Blitz.  I just wanted to extend another offer to readers to join the team.  I still have a few positions open, so sign up, email me, and we’ll get you on board.

Here’s a referral link

DVD Reviews “Quick Hits”

 

Since these movies have all been released to DVD, I am not going to bother with a full review, just a summary and a score.  Maybe they can serve as a guide for you Netflicks rentals.

Goal Line Blitz – American Football MMORPG

Basically this is the new “fantasy football” out there for people. It’s kind of like fantasy football and RPG (Role Playing Game) video games put together. Anyways it’s a pretty cool thing to do to waste time, talk about football, and play video games all at the same time. I’ll be on there as a Linebacker under the name Krazy Koz. Feel free to look me up or try and link up on a team with me. Here’s the link to more information or to sign up (link)

Keeping in theme with today’s Kinsella story, ‘Make Believe” has a new record due out at the end of April.  Will it be the same madness of their previous efforts? 

The One Up Downstairs

I’m not sure if many of you know the folklore about The One Up Downstairs, but it has some very close ties to several bands.  Ones like American Football and Very Secretary.  The name Kinsella is also involved.  If any of the aforementioned ring a bell you might want to check this out:

Cal’s MLB Picks

 

Yes, I am one of those guys who is up at 5am central time, to watch the first game of the MLB season.  So what better time than when I am fueled by coffee and granola bars, to make my season picks.

Jericho Is Done

 

March 25th will be the final death of CBS show “Jericho”.  As many of you might already know, the show was originally brought back for a 7 episode second season after a rampant “Bring Back Jericho” campaign was waged by fans of the show.  It was thought that if they could bring the show back for a 2nd season that they could increase the fan base, but much to their dismay the viewership was lower than that of the first season so this marks the end of the show.  It never was that great of a show, just a decent evening fluff show, so it will be no big loss.
