The Dad of SBG

By -

  I have decided this is going to be a weekly sub blog that I do for the blog.  It's not gonna be our typical gaming or sports article it is gonna be a piece about being a dad and a sports loving game loving guy.  I feel like a lot of our viewers fit this category and it is a interesting subject. I would love some feedback about what everyone thinks about this type of article.

  To start with I am a father who works a full time job and runs this company with my buddies.  I come home from work help with the kids and then they go to bed. Then I spend time with my wife and then I get to game and catch up on sports and news from the day. Then after all that I sink in to write for you all.  It is a tough routine but one that I love and need.  I feel like as a father you have to find the balance in your life of family time and you time.  Without that you get sucked into a space that is hard to escape from.  You will begin to dislike your family for changing you and not allowing you to do the things you once enjoyed.  The sad realization is your not that man anymore your completely different.  Your a man who puts his needs and wants behind him and focuses on the family he has made and make sure they are taken care of and if your lucky at the end of the day there is time for you to sit down at that Xbox crack open a cold lager and relax if only for a hour.  

  I have not always had this balance.  I have put the Xbox first and the things that I wanted to do first and it causes disconnect.  You lose touch with your kids and the woman you love.  I know this article has taken a very serious turn but it is what is on my mind.  Dad's out there that may be struggling with the balance of your wants and your family's needs understand you can do it. You can be the bro and play on your Overwatch team and kill a sixer of Boston Lager while doing it but be the dad before that and the husband before that a things will always work out.  

  I'm sorry this one turned into kind of a long winded preaching session but it is heart felt and true. They will not all be this way I promise but for the first one I think this is good.

Battlefront 2 Pay to Play/ Death of Triple A Games

By -

    Early Access started on Battlefront 2 and the outrage began immediately.  Everyone is saying that main characters of the franchise are locked behind either a pay wall or random luck of the draw with loot crates, that seem to take forever to obtain.  It is sad to see such a promising game get stuck with a pay to win setup.   Pay to win will be the death of the Triple A title and the larger developers if they don't see this.   It is insane to expect people who have already paid $60 for the game you made, to pay another amount of money to unlock content in the game. This model makes people feel like unappreciated and makes the consumer angry which is not a profitable business model.  I am perfectly fine with games that put cosmetics into loot boxes that I have the option to pay for.  This model does not effect the main game play and does not give anyone person a advantage just because they spend more money. Games such as Overwatch, Call of ...

Redskins Refuse to Wear the Color Rush Jersey Tonight

  The fact hat they are the only team that has fussed about this to this point is astounding. But what doesn’t make sense is, they have one of my favorite color rushes.  Theirs is actually enough of a change to make it cool. Unlike some jerseys.  I think they look good but whatever if the team doesn’t want to wear the jersey don’t think you should make them.

The SEC Struggles this Bowl Season

By -
   If you come to the south there is no doubt in anyone's mind down here.  The SEC is the best and for some people the only conference in the NCAA.  They may not even watch other teams unless they are playing a SEC team.     This bowl season is not showing that to be true though.  The SEC is at the moment of writing this 0-3 and with Mississippi State playing at this moment we are looking at 0-4.  I know that we have two teams playing in the playoffs and another team playing Monday as well.     I live in the south and love SEC football but I do not think that we are the best conference.  There have been years that we were the best conference in the NCAA but they are not in previous years.  We have a few good teams a year but the overall conference is below average.
