NBA 2K13

I am really not a big fan of the NBA. I haven't really followed the NBA since the Bird-Magic era and the last season I paid attention to was the year the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz. I may not care about the NBA but I love this game NBA 2K13. The game play is smooth, the graphics are great, and it is easy to navigate. Since I am not an NBA fan, I played around with several teams to see which one I wanted to use in the "Association" mode. I finally settled on the Denver Nuggets. I am a huge University of North Carolina Tarheels fan so the main reason I settled on the Nuggets was because of Point Guard Ty Lawson. I like to keep my video games as realistic as possible but I decided to build a Tarheel Super team through trades. I have already traded for Tyler Hansbrough and Tyler Zeller without having to give up too awful much and I am thinking about going after Kendall Marshall and Harrison Barnes next. I almost forgot about John Henson but I do not want to trade away any of my core Nugget players to get him. I really like this game and I am glad I purchased it.

The Seattle Seahawks Vs. The Arizona Cardinals

The Seattle Seahawks 58-0 win over the Arizona Cardinals was monumental for several reasons. With the score being that lopsided the issue of "running up the score" came up with every form of the media imaginable. The announcer, it was either Tim Ryan or John Lynch, started railing on the Seahawks continuing to pass the ball after they put backup QB Matt Flynn in the game. The announcer did not note in his diatribe (I went to Grad school- I have to act educated once in a while with the use of big words) that Russell Wilson was removed rom the game about halfway thru the third quarter and these were the first snaps that Matt Flynn had taken all season. I think Pete Carroll did the right thing. The standard rule in any sport is that the backup is only one play away from being the starter. The Seahawks are fighting for their playoff lives and if Russell Wilson gets hurt, Matt Flynn would go in after not having played for about 4 months. The speed of the game is much different in game situations than in practice. Pete Carroll also emptied the rest of his bench as well and what else were they supposed to do? The Cardinals QB by committee is not working and John Skelton has killed the Seahawks in his brief NFL career. They turned the ball over 8 times and it seemed that the ball bounced right to the Seahawks. An example of this is when the Cardinals muffed a punt and LB Malcolm Smith had the ball bounce off of Jeremy Lane's foot and right into his hands as he is running into the end zone. By the end of the game the announcer was backtracking his earlier statement of running up the score. The Seahawks did take a few shots into the end zone towards the end of the game, but Matt Flynn needs the practice.
