mattel_football I must have worn out at least 3 of Mattel’s little hand held football games when I was a kid. Probably had another 2 confiscated from teachers for playing it during class.

So it’s no surprise that I’m stoked to see that there is a game for the iPhone heavily influenced by said handheld, and it’s free this weekend to boot. TouchGrove is offering their version based on the game, (oh yeah, there was a sequel that was kick butt) until February 2. Normally only $0.99, this seems like a great marketing plan, as they offer several other games based on similar hand held devices. For instance I wouldn’t have known that they are working on a baseball game based on a similar handheld which I totally will buy!

ESPN.com-Congress to look into ‘deeply flawed’ BCS system You have to be kidding me. Ah, your alma matre isn’t going to the Rose Bowl this year, so it’s time to cry fowl. Boo hoo! Try fixing the education system, or working on getting better funding for students, rather than this. Any thing, heck, I’d rather here some discussion about giving student athletes a stipend than how the BCS is flawed. Sure it is, so was the old bowl system. But this is that last place Congress needs to be sticking their nose. With record deficits, a war, corruption all over the Republican map, and this is best they’ve got. Flabergasted, that’s all I’ve got to say. I wonder if this guy Barton is one of the ones the Texas jerrymandering case got elected?
