The Wire Troll: James Johnson Jacking Up the Treys

/ Basketball, The Wire Troll

Some sharp owners are beginning to pluck Middleton off the wire after news emerged that he’s making good progress in his recovery from surgery to repair a torn left hamstring. He’s been doing some light jogging and shooting, but obviously has a long road ahead of him. Still, it’s looking more likely that Middleton will be able to help your Fantasy team before season’s end (possibly as early as mid-February), so if you’re in a format that allows you to stash a player, grab him now.

Blu-ray Review: Sully

/ Movie Reviews

Hanks is, without question, one of the finest actors in history. He does a great job of capturing the understated nature of Sullenberger, showing his post-crash struggles with whether or not he’d done the right thing coupled with concerns over what the NTSB may conclude. While his work here may not be on the level of Philadelphia or Saving Private Ryan, it’s arguably his best showing since Cast Away.

Longest Current Serving MLB Managers

/ Baseball

The former Padre player and manager has turned the Giants into perennial contenders, and nothing should change next year as they have been given 14-1 odds of winning the World Series in 2017 — chances topped by only five teams. The charitably-minded Bochy should have another great team on his hands — especially if the late-inning bullpen work improves as expected.

Video Game Review: The Last Guardian

/ Video Game Reviews

Although its narrative is thin on details, The Last Guardian proves compelling due to the developing relationship between the boy and Trico. In broad terms, the boy has been kidnapped and Trico has been locked up, and the two of them need one another to escape. It isn’t a great story in the traditional sense, but it succeeds in making you feel invested in what’s happening around you.

The Wire Troll: Mike Fisher Hitting the Notes in Music City

/ Dakota Case, Hockey, The Wire Troll

The former Tampa Bay top pick is doing just fine with his fellow rookies in Arizona. The Coyotes may be hanging out in the league’s cellar, but the youngsters are receiving quality minutes of top development. DeAngelo is one of those benefiting from it, and so are his Fantasy owners. He had a goal, two points, a minus-2 rating, two power play points and 10 shots on goal in four games last week. The former Sarnia Sting star has three goals, nine points and a minus-1 rating in 16 games while averaging 19:18 of ice-time. As you can see, he’s far from sheltered.

Video Game Review: Senran Kagura Bon Appetit! — Full Course

/ Matthew Striplen, Video Game Reviews

Should the player receive a perfect score, the opposing chef is stripped naked, censored with deformed faces and white lines, and placed in suggestive positions in a dessert. The chef then exclaims something about how humiliating it is to be looked at, or how she resents the player for forcing her into the situation. It’s unequivocally unsexy.
