After seeing BBC's 'coolest sporting moments of 2013' ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/25465362 ), every single time Beckham is at a sporting event he gets needlessly focused on even though he usually has nothing to do with the outcome of it.

Re: NFL thread

11-5 and missing playoffs well and truly on :(

Cards with an elite QB and a better OL would be scary. Defense is amazing.

AFC wildcard is crazy, don't think I've ever seen a situation where not one team can control its own destiny. Outcomes below:

Bioshock 1 is worth a playthrough even if you do know the ending. The atmosphere and feel of the game are still really good. The music just before some fights is pretty eerie, actually found myself feeling quite tense at times.

Bioshock 2 is pretty disappointing. Doesn't offer anything new and has plenty of flaws in the plot. I haven't played Infinite yet but sounds like it's a much better game, looking forward to picking it up in the next few weeks.

Still some bizarre scenarios possible including Patriots missing out on playoffs, Chiefs, Panthers and 49ers still could get 1 or 2 seeds as well. Cardinals despite being 9-5 have almost no chance of playoffs, so frustrating when looking at the mess that is the AFC :\

I preferred BF3 last time out, haven't really enjoyed COD since BO1. The only real issue I have with BF is the maps can be too large for consoles, the limit is 12 v 12 as opposes to 32 v 32 on PC which makes some of them a little dull.

Mass Effect 2 would be up there for me. Vastly improved combat, whilst some newer characters were a bit weak they fleshed out existing ones pretty well. One of the best and most unexpected opening sequences I've ever seen in a game too.

In all fairness it's probably because they have no get out option now. They tried sticking guys on the goal line and evidently it's pointless, in fact I could count on one hand the number of decisions I've seen them make, be it penalties or anything else. Most useless idea ever.

Re: What is your earliest motorsport memory?

Can very vaguely remember Adelaide 1994 but not really understanding anything about it.

Then in 1995 found myself watching the race in Hungary and being intrigued. Next two races were awesome, Spa and Monza, watched almost every race since.
