The try for two

Today is a groundbreaking day here at The Shitter, we have expanded. Well to put it more appropriately, I have expanded. I am going to be taking on a new challenge, another site called Two Point Conversion. It is collaboration between Luke and myself. The intent is to have a point/counterpoint column that answers the questions of you, the reader, so feel free to send in questions. Our main focus will be sports on this site, but there will be more than just that. Kind of like the way this site evolved, I think the TPC will become its own monster soon.

At this point we will field any type of question, but expect a heavy amount of sports at first. The style will be very much like this because, well.... I’m writing. Luke will contribute the other half, so if you don't like his junk, just show up long enough for me to dazzle you with my magical words.

I know that I am attempting to sail dangerous waters, but I feel its necessary to reach out and see if I am talented enough to do this. I will continue writing here, but what you, the reader, gets is another place to check out my work. Hooray for you! That is, if you like this stuff, otherwise don't bother going there. This will not change the format of this site. I will still do sports posts here too, I just won't repeat anything from the site. Consequently, I may do fewer sports posts, but I will do them. So we all have that to look forward to.

Ok, I'm sorry that I didn't get a real column up here, but I will reward you with something in just a moment. Just try to give us your support as we venture into the unknown. And because this could be a colossal failure.


Bo Jackson - Tecmo Super Bowl Run


Sometimes certain things in life reach their absolute potential, and can never be reached again due to its devastating consequences. The NCAA giving SMU the death penalty is one of these, we will never see it again. Bo Jackson's dominance in Super Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo is another. He is the greatest video game athlete of all time. No question. Even if you don't like sports or video games, this is worth a viewing due to its absolute absurdity. How could the makers of the game be so enamored with this guy that they made him this much better than everyone else? Can't you just see Bo sneaking into the offices the night before the game's production and tweaking it to make him play like a combination of Jesus and Superman?

p.s. Bob Sturm posted this on his blog a few days ago, so I feel lame putting it up, but given the tag line to this site, I felt I should do it anyways. Besides, I knew about this long before he did, I just was too lazy to post it. Just gonna have to trust me on this.

Have a good weekend!
