OT: Making of the Madden Franchise (ESPN OTL)
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=100805/madden
Really interesting even for someone who hasn't been a diehard fan of the series (bought it used every couple years). Interesting even for the general explanation of the development of technology and how video games, once considered a potential "Cabbage Patch Kid phase" is now a financial giant.
OT: Tigers 8/5 Game Thread

Damon up now
OT: Incredible Catch in Japanese Baseball
Usually FA gets to these before me but holy cow
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABeezd3EBRc or watch below
Unbelievable
Edit: btw, how funny is it that all the fans sit on their hands or clap politely in their seats when something that sick happens? if that happened at Wrigley, beer would be everywhere, four children would be conceived and a pile of records would be detonated.
OT: Tigers 8/4 Open Thread - Inge's Return
Supposedly returning to third base and batting sixth in the lineup.
Inge is expected to be in the starting lineup and at third base on Wednesday night against the White Sox at Comerica Park. Jhonny Peralta, the third baseman the Tigers acquired from Cleveland last week to fill in for Inge, could shift to shortstop or designated hitter.
OT- A-Rod Hits 600th
It happened..finally.
"Rodriguez became the youngest player in history to join the 600 Club, and the seventh player in baseball history to reach the milestone."

OT: Nike+ Challenge
For the small percentage of the MGoCommunity who are runners and of those runners who use Nike+ to track their runs, we thought that a 30-Day Most Miles Challenge might be a fun way to keep us motivated and pass the time in the dog days of August.
Ideally, we'd start the challenge this Friday, the 6th, and end it on Sept. 4th -- our last run with a glorious mustache, finally, the wind against a smooth face. And then --then!-- the wait is over... It's tailgating time! Throw me an Oberon, good sir. What's that, young co-ed? Yes, my mustache does want your number -- so, what are you majoring in?
Ah, but I digress. Let's gauge the interest. Anyone up for such a challenge? Have you always wanted to know who among us can rack up the most miles in 30 days?
