I promise you I’m going to give you some real nitty-gritty football insight. I'm also going to include a Cowboy and a Raven. A Raven, man. That’s how serious I

It doesn’t matter if you’re on the Evo main stage or playing Marvel vs. Capcom with your friends — The intensity in fighting games is always the same.

You know when one of your fantasy wide receivers lays an egg or doesn’t blow up like you thought he would? Don’t blame him. Blame us.
