kaka G.3

The next image in our series of GAME action shots referencing our post on the first basic GAME formations, (module #1) power-speed formation, features Brazil National, Real Madrid midfielder and GAME SC Kaka. Using his size and pace, Kaka has broken through the first line of defenders; entering the defense’s second level. England National and Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard pursues while free safety Oshiomogho Atogwe (foreground) of the St. Louis Rams moves forward to help defend against Kaka’s penetration.

THE GAME: What’s Your Perspective?

perspective

If you are a regular visitor to this site, you will notice that I view THE GAME through the lens of American football…a lot. Growing up in Chicago and attending the University of Michigan as an undergraduate, football becomes a natural passion.

Growing up in the United States, I was not exposed to sports like rugby union, or rugby league, handball, Australian rules football, International rules football, cricket, Gaelic football, field hockey, etc. These are sports that I find infinitely fascinating, but thanks to those of you online, I’m still learning the nuances of these competitions.

In the interest of building an open GAME, I’m interested in seeing how those of you who grew up with and are passionate fans of other sports, view THE GAME from the standpoint of strategy and formations, styles of play, GAME node synthesis, transitions into and out of other nodes, field of play design, position skill sets, GAME hybrids, GAME blends and so forth. In much the same way chefs from different backgrounds and experiences may take the same four ingredients and produce vastly divergent culinary creations, THE GAME should consist of ideas and competitions that reflect the backgrounds and experiences of its participants and innovators.

In the future, I would like to feature some our readers’ fresh perspectives and innovations to THE GAME. If you would like to contribute new ideas and perspectives, please visit THE IdeaBOARD and leave your valuable input there. I will post some of the more interesting content from there here. 

THE GAME: THE GAME 2009

This is the week of the Michigan-Ohio State game.

Rated by ESPN in 2000 as the greatest sports rivalry in North America, there is perhaps no other rivalry in college sports that shares such a dysfunctional symbiosis. Characterized by fans who despise the other program while simultaneously maintaining a respect for their rival and the rich history of the conflict, this Saturday’s game in Ann Arbor will be the 106th meeting.

Some pregame hype ensues:

GO BLUE!

THE GAME In Pictures: A Basic GAME Formation Action Shot

tebow & williams

Using GIMP 2.6.6 and referencing this post, I remixed photographs of Tim Tebow and Deron Williams running the basic GAME formation: (module #1) power-speed formation. The image captures the moment after Deron Williams has passed the football to Tim Tebow; allowing Tebow to cross in front of Williams and look for a playmaker on the left wing. After the exchange, Williams begins to angle hard to his right, eluding his defender and creating space to either continue the play by himself, pass to another playmaker on the wing or handoff to a ThB charging from the rear.

THE GAME Gear: Motorola DROID

Here is a review of the new Motorola DROID smartphone courtesy of phoneArena.com.

The Motorola DROID is an Android-powered smartphone for Verizon Wireless. It sports clean lines and a side-sliding design, which allows for a four-row QWERTY keyboard. The display is pretty big - 3.7 inches, while other features include a 5MP camera, microSDHC slot, GPS and Wi-Fi.
