Jeremy Shockey has been my favorite offensive player on the Giants for the last 6 years. He is tough as nails and has an outgoing personality on and off of the field. Of course he can be frustrating at times, when complaining about his role in the offense or questioning the QB or coaching staff. He was always entertaining and an exciting interview. He made the Pro Bowl four times as a Giant and was ...

According to a Russian proverb, God makes the priests. Jesters come from the devil. You can imagine where the Joker came from, particularly as portrayed by Heath Ledger. The actor's brilliant performance helps make "The Dark Knight" a terrific film.

Filed under: Gaming While we love Rock Band 2 as much as the next guy, playing that miniaturized plastic controller will forever look a little dorky (or just make us look like giant men, which is kind of cool). Nothing wrong with looking dorky -- heck, we make a living of it -- but Mad Catz's new full-size Stratocaster and Precision Bass controllers for Rock Band 2 are bringing the cool back.

Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals The last Wii keyboard we saw was pretty hellaciously ugly, but Logitech's take on the much-needed peripheral is actually fairly sleek. The all-white keyboard doesn't quite have the flair of the diNovo Mini, but it does have full-size keys, and for $50 it isn't bad -- and it's officially licensed by Ninty, so there are dedicated zoom, quit, forward / back, and OK buttons.
