Last Night on "The Knee Jerks": Screw the Digital Age! We Like Rolling Them Bones!

Put away the controllers and XBoxes and Playstations! We talked sports games last night---tabletop, board-game style---with Keith Avallone, owner of a website called www.plaay.com. At Keith's site, you'll find simulations of everything from roller derby to indoor lacrosse to, soon, hockey. That was our guest segment on "The Knee Jerks," the weekly gabfest I co-host on Blog Talk Radio with Big Al Beaton, who's rapidly beginning his own Internet writing empire.

After talking "old school" sports gaming with Keith, Al and I roasted the Lions (as usual), and wondered whether Drew Stanton has a future in the NFL---with the Lions or anyone else.

We also blistered the Free Press and its decision to run an "All Decade" team for the Lions, with such notables as Tony Semple, Joey Harrington, and Todd Lyght on it. The All Decade coach was Steve Mariucci! Oy vay!

You also might want to hear my last rant of 2009---a 15-minute rampage on the Indy Colts and their decision to bench Peyton Manning on Sunday. It's among my best, if I do say so myself!

Al included himself, indirectly, in his pick of "Jerk of the Week."
