NASCAR 2011 - Dale Jr looking for a good year.

Photo Credit : Hendrick Motorsports

Junior did improve in 2010 from 2009 by a few spots. The 2010 season started on a high note with a 2nd place finish at Daytona and if there was another lap it most likely would've been a win. But you can't go on a woulda shoulda coulda mentality. Obviously the cars could not perform, especially on the mile and a half speedways. But 2011 is looking up, Steve Letarte is now leading the #88 team and with his track record it's looking good for Junior. It's been too long since victory lane for Junior and all the fans. Even knocking off some great runs this year would be exciting enough. I think there is nothing less than the Chase that would be acceptable for the new #88 team. With Daytona looming right around the corner, with a month to go, Teams are gearing up for the first wheels on the track which will be the Bud Shootout. I think over the past five years with Jimmie winning all the championships teams have been ratcheting up their programs and making strides. Kevin Harvick and the rest of the Childress teams made an impressive run last year, and we can't forget the progress that Michael Waltrip Racing is seeing, and even Richard Petty's crew had a few wins. Joe Gibbs continues to demonstrate his leadership abilities and will definitely put a Sprint Cup championship trophy on his shelf before long. But this year all eyes will be on Junior.. again... Congratulations on being an 8 time Most Popular Driver, let's go for #9! I'm sure visiting Victory Lane once or twice in 2011 would seal the deal on that! Definitely ready for the FOX crew to take the commentating back over, Darrell Waltrip, Larry Mac, Jeff Hammond, Mike Joy, and Chris Myers, with Dick and Matt. Dale and Rusty need to figure out a way to get on this team, or either meld some of the Fox guys into their operations because the other networks are definitely lacking. The 2011 NASCAR season awaits, it's going to be a great year for racing!

Man, it's about time to pull those belts tight one more time! Let's go racing boys!! BOOGGITY! BOOGGITY! BOOGGITY!

GO #88!

Chelsea FC turns a corner in 2011


Chelsea took on Blackburn and won 2 - 0. After an exceptional 7 - 0 performance against Ipswich, it might be time to think about making the push towards the cup. Chelsea sit in 4th place in the standings 7 points back from a tied Manchester duo. Once the execution of goal scoring improves, Chelsea will once again be a formidable opponent. Perhaps the addition of a stout defender would strengthen up the back line, while pushing the front to do more of what they do best which is score. With Malouda, Anelka, Drogba, the front lines are looking strong statistic wise, but there has been a serious drought up front. Lampard being back has spiced things up, but the score lines are still close. Bolton is fighting for position in the top 10 with Stoke City, and Chelsea needs to give them a good hammering to finally set the stage for the upcoming challenges of Sunderland and Liverpool. Next week is an important points game because Manchester United has the opportunity to gain 6 points if they win against they bottom of the table opponents. With the Champions League right around the corner, Chelsea need to tighten their defense and heighten their offense if they are to be successful and raise the silverware because Barcelona is playing silky football, all eyes are definitely going to be on Arsenal when they finally play in the Round of 16.

FIFA 11 with Ultimate Team Expansion : Owens Strikers



A great soccer game, after 100 games I finally have gotten the hang of the strategy of the game. Things that the manual doesn't tell you:

1. If your player is injured you need to put them in your reserve pile to recover.
2. Your players lose fitness, but if you place them in your sub pile they will recover and be at full strength.
3. Buying packs are the most effective way of spending your coins, but if you have good players you need to goto the trading section and buy contracts while you build money for packs.


Overall it is definitely a fun game worth purchasing

The Elder Scrolls V : Skyrim ; 11 - 11 - 11

The battle for the best game of the year starts early. Since lighting the Dragonfires, I have been wondering if there was going to be a continuation to Oblivion, probably the best Role Playing Game I have played to date. 5 years after Oblivion, Bethesda answers the call. They really set the bar by teasing the game at the beginning of the year. I believe this will be the first game that I will pre-order. Watch the trailer:

Duke's first loss of the 2011 Season




Florida State repeated its performance of 2002 and 2006 when they defeated #1 ranked Duke last night. The poor shooting performance and seemingly missing inside presence led Duke to its first loss of the season. Will there be more? Time will only tell. Does this knock Duke of the top spot? Ohio State looks to take the top spot and remain undefeated with only a couple of friends having the donut in the loss column. No doubt Ohio State is on the horizon especially at some point in the NCAA tourney. Will Kyrie be back for the tournaments? Ears on the ground say yes. Is Duke still a strong team without him? Yes. I'd definitely rather have an L during the regular season than the post for sure. Confidence high? You better believe it! Let's go March Madness!

HERE WE GO DEVILS! HERE WE GO!

GO DUKE!
