The Penguins finally lost a game. It took a pretty silly goal and a shootout victory (by Mark Recchi of all people - if he played like he's been playing he wouldn't have been released by Pittsburgh) to do it, but their streak doesn't quite reach ten in a row. The streak dates back to [...]

The Pensblog cracks me up.
Including the Winter Classic, the Penguins have been on a bit of a roll. They've won five in a row and six of their last seven. The third-string goalie is 6-0 and has started several games in a row.
Barry Melrose talked last night about Sidney Crosby through 200 games. Gretzky had [...]

The first two minutes of this video are lame, but the energy contained in the sequence of shootout attempts is electric.

Jason Kottke writes about his break-up with Guitar Hero 3, and mine is awfully similar. I've even got an excuse, what with my bent pinkies and all.
I've beat "Easy" mode with five stars on all the songs. I don't think I've ever played a song perfectly, but I simply lack the desire to do so. [...]

Lost in the hype of the Patriots "perfect season" is the simple fact that they're proven cheats.
Perfect season my ass.

Bryant Greg Gumbel, Deion Sanders, Marshall Faulk == Worst Announcing Team Ever
If I didn't like to pause so frequently (to get a drink, take a leak, etc.) then I'd have turned the radio broadcast on. As it is, I suffered through. Ugh.
Worst ever.

Today I bought an HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360.
Previously, they were $179 everywhere. Last night, I saw that they were down to $129 on Amazon.com and Toys 'R' Us. So, I picked one up today at Toys 'R' Us and printed the form for 5 free HD-DVDs. A few of the movies are worth [...]

The Xbox 360 "Fall Dashboard Update" is set to hit consoles at 2am PST tomorrow. Among its many features (some of which I've already talked about), the update adds the option to "Tell a Friend" about a game.
Rather than "Friends of Friends" or the option to "Tell a Friend" about Worms or Aegis Wing, I'd [...]

Penny Arcade hints at it, but the "7-10" scale is a problem with IGN and a lot of other reviews online. It's an even larger problem when you realize that virtually every game is going to get a 9.5 or less because the "9.5 to 10" range is reserved for those truly remarkable, once-a-year-or-less type [...]

All males older than 18 with any combination of three working arms and legs should apply. Crutches count. Apply at Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA first thing Monday morning.
P.S. Players who do not meet the above qualifications may still apply for the position of offensive coordinator.

I bought it and am working my way through on "Easy." I'll move up to Medium eventually, but for now, easy is just fine.
I spent 5-10 minutes today watching some YouTube videos of people playing some songs on Expert - even some getting 100% on expert - and wow. Those people have some crazy [...]

Due to a variety of things - a semi-bum shoulder I didn't want to risk hurting further prior to a golf trip, the golf trip, etc. - tonight was my first hockey game.
It's incredibly obvious that I've got a long way to go before I get to even a "good" level, but fortunately, that's all [...]

I played rather streakily. Except my putting - that was off all week. My best round was, by far, the Friday afternoon round at National.

Pine Needles is, by far, one of my favorite golf courses in the world. I think it's a better course for the average to good player than Pinehurst #2 - by a long stretch. It's got elevation changes, it's got hard and soft doglegs in both directions, and it's got devilish greens that aren't quite [...]

George and I played National Golf Club from the Blue tees today. I shot 75, including a back-nine 35 with a birdie at the last to close out any chances George had of getting back any of the $6 he lost in skins.
It was probably the best I've played all week, all things considered. At [...]
