The Game Formally Known As "COD" (Modern Warfare 3)

After much anticipation the game formally known as “COD” Modern Warfare 3 is finally out.  I just wanted to take the time to give my thoughts on what I thought about the game so far.  While I am not a big fan of playing campaign mode the multiplayer mode has been refreshingly better than the previous COD title, Black Ops.

The game plays exceptionally smooth and seems to be much more fun.  It is definitely easier to kill others in a regular team deathmatch than previous installments; however, this does make it easier to die.  All in all the battles are much more interesting and fun to play. 

As far as perks go while I haven’t come close to unlocking them all yet, the “stalker” perk seems to be my favorite so far as it allows you to walk briskly while aiming to help prevent getting shot while sprinting to the other side of the map. 

The maps have been exceptional as well.  Not too big and not too small they have set up great combat areas and might be some of the best maps yet (except for Nuketown in Black Ops). 

Although I am deeply disappointed at the removal of the FAMAS as an assault rifle, the gun choices have been decent.  I have been going with the SCAR for now until I get to the AK47.  The UMP has been my secondary choice.

TV Shows worth Watching

If you are like me, your television is usually set to ESPN and MTV Jams.  But for those who want some variety in their life as their counting down the hours until they have to be back in class or the office.  Since the NBA is locked out, college basketball has not started, and good football games do not start till Thursday I thought it would be good to create a list of shows that I have found to bridge the entertainment gap thoughout my week.

Monday is Monday Night Football so I will skip to Tuesday. 

Tuesday after Tosh.o on Comedy Central, a show by the name of Workaholics comes on.  It is a silly comedy that is about three friends who work and live together as they get into and out of funny scenarios. 

Wednesday after Modern Family on ABC, Happy Endings comes on.  A show about a group of friends including Elisha Cuthbert share their their life experiences in a funny corky way.  Did I mention Elisha Cuthbert.  Right after Happy Endings still on ABC Revenge comes on.  A show about a hot blonde who devilishly avenges the wrongdoing of her father in the high society of the Hamptons.

Thursday if no good college football game is on I would recommend watching Whitney on NBC.  Whitney centers around the relationship between Whitney the foul mouth sexual teasing girlfriend and her calm laid back boyfriend and their friends.  A very funny show definitely worth watching. 

Friday and Saturday are for sports and movies, but Sunday if you have HBO a show by the name of How to Make it in America comes on about two entrepreuners attempting to get their clothing line off the ground.  A great watch if you have HBO

Well known shows worth watching: Sons of Anarchy, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, Weeds, and Dexter. 

Check em out and tell us what you think.  I think you will be thoroughly entertained...that's what she said.

The Artestry of Blake Griffin

With the NBA still locked out and no apparent end in sight, I thought I would post a Blake Griffin youtube video just to help out those who are feening to see some NBA basketball.  Get a deal done.

A.J. or Julio

A.J Green and Julio Jones will forever be linked as the prize receivers of the 2011 NFL draft.  As we pass the halfway point the question arises as to who has had  the better start to their NFL careers?  A.J. the UGA standout came into the season as the number one receiver on a bad team with a rookie quarterback (Andy Dalton).  Many experts felt that his numbers would be down especially to start the season.  Julio on the hand came into the season as the deep threat that Matt Ryan needed to compliment Roddy White, Tony Gonzalez, and Michael Turner.  Lets compare:

Player	Games Played	Receptions	Yards	Touchdowns	100 YD Gmes
*A.J. Green	7	33	516	5	2
Julio Jones	6	25	358	2	3

Looking at the numbers A.J. Green has more receptions, more yards, and more touchdowns.  Julio who has had a little bit of a slow start has come on strong with three 100 yard receiving games, and has become that compliment to Roddy White.  The difference between these two players at the onset of their careers is the situation that they have been drafted into.  A.J. who will most likely compile better numbers this year is targeted more because he is their big play receiver.  Not to minimize the play of Brandon Tate or Andre Caldwell this year.  On the other hand Julio is the complimentary receiver to an all pro in Roddy White, to a first ballot hall of famer in Tony Gonzalez, and to a strong running attack led by Michael Turner.  The roles of these two young talented receivers are in every way much different.  A.J. will have better numbers this year because his team needs him to have that type of impact.  Julio is merely trying to fit in on a team that a year ago was 13-3 in the regular season. 

To answer my original question as to who has had a better start to their NFL career, the nod has to go to A.J. Green.  To be the main receiver on a team that to start the season was not picked to do much; and to have the impact he has had is quite remarkable.  But, do not count Julio out.  As the Colts saw today he can be more than just a compliment on certain days.
