Sports games for people who don’t like sports games
By Andrew Wyzan | Feb. 2, 2011I never understood the allure of the “Madden NFL” franchise. Aside from the greatest sports commentator who ever lived, the game is boring if you’re not a sports fanatic. EA Sports’ dedication to realism in games is good for the guy who has an NFL season pass on his Direct TV, but what about the rest of us? What about the gamer who doesn’t want to manage a franchise and just wants to play a simple, fun football game?

Philadelphia classic rock revivalist to spread no-frills rock message in Gainesville
By Benjamin Evans | Feb. 2, 2011As a rock critic, it can be tough to judge bands that appear on the surface to have transported themselves through time, bands that don't sound too much like one particular group of past musicians but instead have found a way to capture the spirit of a period in America's variegated and effectual music history. Unique from the everyday artist, these bands emanate an attitude and style that hoists listeners to a point in the past they may not know personally, but with the band's help, feel immediately connected to.
