BMX Game XXXcels in Being Lewd, Crude
Sex sells, and when a video game is being threatened with extinction just roll out the T&A cart. Load up the game with gratuitious sex scenes and bam, you have another best seller.
But guys who play video games to get to those 30 second soft core sequences are, well, losers. Go rent Assmasters 7 or something, don't try to multi-task your gaming needs with your personal needs. Anyone who shares a controller with you will thank you (or they should!).

Another interesting facet to this video saga is that this is supposed to be part of the Dave Mirra Freestyle series. But Dave Mirra's no longer affiliated with the project. Why? Not quite sure but I'm guessing it has something to do with the arbitrary T&Aing of his sport. I don't know why it would bother him to think that the game wouldn't sell without the soft core sequences to carry it. That's like saying BMX isn't cool enough on its own and we KNOW that can't be true.

Baseball News
Giants face arbitration from Kent. The Giants have already gone ahead and replaced Jeff Kent but they're still talking over a new contract with him. What the Vegas odds on him re-signing with the Giants? About as good as they are for Dusty Baker to come back and manage another year. About zero really. And that's alright by me, as long as they get a bat to replace his with. Maybe an outfielder with Bonds' style pop like Vladimir Guerrero or Manny Ramirez. Someone that invokes fear in opposing pitchers ahead of Bonds.
