Goodbye Tony Gonzalez, KC Will Miss You

April 25, 2009 · 2 Comments

As a child growing up in the Kansas city metro area in the 80’s and 90’s there was one sports hero who always stood above all others for me, – Tony Gonzalez. This week he was traded to the Atlanta Falcons.

So goodbye Tony G., goodbye to the greatest player that ever happened to this organization, and I know we won a Super Bowl with Len Dawson.  On Sundays in KC for the past 10 years one thing was certain, Tony catches the ball,  and he does it surrounded by three guys every time, right in the middle of the field. Week after week after week plugging away, the greatest warrior you could want is Tony Gonzalez. You’re my one true sports hero growing up Tony, so I just want you to know,…. good luck man, thanks for your hard work and  Kansas City will miss you…

Play Trophy Manager, a Great Online Fantasy Football (Soccer) Game

April 15, 2009 · 5 Comments

Recently, I have been playing the massively multiplayer online game Trophy Manager. If you like football (soccer), strategy games, sports simulation, and/or fantasy sports games, than you should at least give the game a try.

If you’ve played other football simulations like Hattrick for example, Trophy Manager is like Hattrick 2.0; there are more league games a week, more options for friendly matches and the whole thing moves quicker. It’s a fast-paced, well designed fun football game.

Trophy Manager signup

Own your own football club, buy and sell players on the transfer market, pick a training strategy, develop your own youth academy and lots more. Climb the ranks through the divisions season by season as your team progresses. Compete in your own country and with tens of thousands of other players worldwide. The forums are really friendly with plenty of people to give you advice and strategy tips.

It’s free to sign up, free to play and easy to get started—> Trophy Manager Signup. There is an option to pay a small fee that enables some extra features, but it’s not necessary. If you like strategy and sports games and haven’t played Trophy Manager, then you absolutely should.
