Hotness returns

First of all, it's hot again. That should surprise absolutely nobody that lives around here in Western PA. But that's how it goes. Today is surprisingly OK thus far about 86 or so. Sadly, that's what we have to call OK. But at least it's warm now. Just think at Slippery Rock in 3 months it will be 70 degress colder. Yuck.

OK, the new Madden was released and purchased by me on Tuesday and it is a solid, yet similar game to last year. Player models are slightly different and although the game was supposed to amp up the offense, so far I don't think it did that. Passing is a lot harder this year, and I play without the passing cone, the bane of many people's existences. Other things include superstar mode, which is fair and not too bad if you like to create players. Gameplay remains the same, and the commentary is virtually unchanged. Updated rosters are there and the soundtracks isn't great except for the NFL films songs being in there. EA finally woke up and had the sanity vitamins. So, Overall I'm diggin it.

Other than that, not too much happening with little outside social contact and a lot of time boggling my mind about the post office.

T.O. got kicked out of camp yesterday. Not too surprising. I mean unless he gets this attitude change, it's not lookin too good even for a team that plays in the NFC. But anything can happen still.

Tiger shot plus +5 at the PGA Championship today. I didn't see that one coming. He better get the game in gear tomorrow or he actually may miss the cut, a disaster for CBS golf ratings on the weekend.

So that's it for now. Until next time, keep cool and play hopscotch or something.
