First off... there already is an IFL... INTERNATIONAL FIGHT LEAGUE. Talk about a manly sport, it doesn't get better than that... screw football, let's see these guys take a soccer kick to the dome.

Secondly... I forgot what I was going to say... SO, www.yarisfanboy.com

@ DXL540: Fuck off. If you don't like the fancast as it is with Knuckles, go listen to someone else.

listened to the fancast...awesome...couldn't do my play by play tho...too damn busy.

I'm like Knuckles...I can't watch a sports game that I have no outcome over...except its TML hockey...in which case I can watch that...but only with friends.

Rich, learn how to read...it said 18 million NOT 12 million like you said. ahahahaa lol

CONAN THE GAME HAS BARE TITTIES!!!! :D :D :D

Dustin, some people do have a problem with syncing their controllers:

THAT GRUNT COSTUME IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!

Knuckles...now that you told me about COD4...I'm gonna look into it.

Someone please tell Knuckles to stop talking over everybody on the podcast. Let SuperDunners talk, dude. It's obnoxious!

I also thought this game was too "neversofted" I found the dancing girls (stripers) to be in bad taste yeah i get that its rock but the irony of a "socially conscious" "musician" like tom morello playing with this in the background could not help but be ironic. I vote with my dollar and think rock band will feel more like the guitar hero i used to love. Why does neversoft destroy most games after awhile. Tony hawk, spiderman. Love this podcast guys I look forward to it all week. Portal goty!!!
