It hasn’t been the start Jaroslav Halak wanted. The Islanders goaltender has been shaky at best after being out for the season last year. It shouldn’t be surprising. He is still trying to get his legs back after missing time last year. It takes awhile for him to get into a groove.

So here we are. A quarterback change is made. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Jets will start Geno Smith at quarterback when they play the Ravens Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium. This will go swell for sure when Jets fans expect a timely interception from Smith. One wonders if it’s

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Jets owner Woody Johnson is getting impatient about the Jets last night on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.

NHL 17 Goalie Mode is So Much Fun

by Russ_Cohen - October 18, 2016November 16, 20163

NHL 17 has hours of fun built into the game. Its fun to play the 1994 controls. I eventually switch back because I think it’s more in tune with the speed of this game. There are so many sliders to pick uniforms, and style of play, line changes, power play

The Songwriters Hall of Fame is a place I hold in high regard. They’re better than the Rock and Roll Hall because they seem to be less commercial. They have a very eclectic group of members and yet Jon Anderson of Yes fame, and much more, hasn’t been voted in. On

by admin - October 17, 2016November 16, 20160

While it would be cliché to say what a difference a year makes in the life of a gaming franchise, there really is no other way to say it for this year’s entry in the WWE 2K series. WWE 2K17 not only gives gamers the power to shout, Who’s Next with Bill Goldberg, it boasts an absolutely huge roster full of names that many would not have imagined ever seeing in a WWE ring, yet alone a WWE video game.
