We then cut to New York City six months later, where Spider-Man fights several enemies while wearing a Symbiote suit and acting much angrier than usual.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac Games finally made its grand return at this PlayStation Showcase with an extensive gameplay reveal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We are in a very transitory time, and to get a little perspective, it’s helpful to look at the strategic milieu that the modern spread came out of in the 1990s. I’m not sure yet that it will be the option, if for no other reason than we don’t yet know what defensive schemes will be dominant either. I generally agree with everything Andy and Stewart say, especially the point that whatever the dominant offensive strategy of the 2010s ends up being - and there may not be one - it will be a response to the defensive changes being undergone right now. It’s time to bring it back on a grand scale. So what’s the holdup? Johnson already has proven the option can work in a BCS conference. In option football, if you execute correctly, you’ve got enough people to block everybody and theoretically score a touchdown on most every option play.” “If somebody misses a tackle, you might go a long way. “Most of the zone plays you see now, if you block things perfectly, you may make seven, eight, nine yards,” Osborne said. Not true, said Tom Osborne, an option aficionado who coached Nebraska to national titles in 1994, 19. Most people think the option is a boring, grind-it-out scheme. ![]() How well? In Johnson’s second season at Tech, he won the ACC title. Paul Johnson, who probably has leisure suits and tearaway jerseys in his closet, has proven at Navy and Georgia Tech that the option still works. We’re talking about the holy trinity of the dive back, quarterback keeper or pitch. We’re not talking about the occasional pitch play. And since bell-bottoms and platform shoes have already enjoyed minor renaissances, it seems only fair that coaches bring back that staple of the ’70s football experience: the option. That shift in defensive philosophy means it’s time for a new-old offensive fad. ![]() More teams adopted a 3-4, allowing more flexibility to spy a quarterback who might double as a fullback. As the spread flourished this past decade, defenses adjusted. The future won’t belong solely to the pro/spread hybrid. I really believe if you can have a combination of all that stuff and confuse with different personnel groups, that’s what it’s all about.” “The great thing would be the combination of both - spread it out and throw it, then be able to do it with two tight ends and run the ball with some power,” said Erickson. Instead, the future is likely a hybrid of both systems. Spread gurus like Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly and Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen keep importing it at new locations, and Arizona State’s Dennis Erickson - a veteran of both levels - is one of several coaches implementing a version of former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach’s Air Raid attack this season. So will the recent influx of NFL-influenced coaches like Washington’s Steve Sarkisian and USC’s Kiffin kill the spread? Not exactly. However, Alabama won the national championship with a more traditional, pro-style offense, Stanford defied the trend of recent upstarts by utilizing an old-school, smash-mouth offense and Nebraska’s disruptive defense showed it’s possible to shut down a wide-open attack like Texas’. Last season, the spread still thrived for teams like Pac-10 champion Oregon, Big East champion Cincinnati and 13-1 Florida. The spread and pro-style offenses will learn to coexistĬollege offenses constantly go in and out of vogue, which means the spread-offense craze is bound to plateau (if it hasn’t already). In their tag-teamed auguries for the next decade of college football, Stewart Mandel and Andy Staples reflect on the decade of the spread and look to the option offenses of the ’70s to predict what big things might come next:Ĩ. ![]() ![]() ![]() Whether you’re a defender of the canon or hungry for new literature, everyone has a list of books they’ve been meaning to read but haven’t quite got around to. Vitcavage is a host who believes in his show, making Debutiful a slick and rewarding passion project. Fresh voices like Brandon Taylor, Cherie Jones, and Zak Salhi remind us that great new talent is emerging every day. Sure, missing will be those pearls of wisdom that only come from writers who have been working for decades, but these newbies add an essential perspective on contemporary fiction. ![]() Listening to an interview with an author still wet around the ears is a gratifying experience. Hosted by writer Adam Vitcavage, the book podcast Debutiful is a show celebrating the strange, thrilling, and often terrifying experience of being a debut novelist. The show has moved away from interviews and book reviews to deliver stories sourced from its local community, stories like the history of Black women’s suffrage, why Brooklyn produces so many great writers, and tales from the library itself, asking that question we’ve all been dying to have answered: “What do librarians do all day?” You don’t have to live in Brooklyn to enjoy Borrowed, as each episode comes with its own curated book list, making the show not only entertaining, but a great resource while we wait for libraries to reopen. Borrowed, by the Brooklyn Public Library, does things a bit differently. Many of them are excellent, like those from the NYPL. ![]() Plenty of public libraries now have their own podcasts. Each episode explores a range of topics, digesting books and literary media with a dose of skepticism, intelligence, and irony.īorrowed, despite its name, feels original. ![]() Thanks to their industry knowledge, Book Riot approaches its subject through engaging, expansive conversation. The show is hosted by the editors of Book Riot, a pair that clearly know their Cusk from their Chbosky. Book Riot: The Podcast avoids both of these traps, making me wonder why so many other shows get the formula wrong. What better way to find your next great read? With all of this in mind, here are the best book podcasts to get you excited about reading.īook podcasts tend to have two main problems: on the one hand, they can be rambly and unfocused on the other, they can be so specific that their discussions become dry. As well, book podcasts allow us glimpses of other people’s shelves, creating a sense of community with readers that we’d never otherwise meet. Rather than dwell on tired formats, we should tune into the shows that make us feel zealous about reading. Just as reading shouldn’t be a chore, neither should listening to a podcast. To remedy this, some podcasts begin with an enticing conceit - Book fights! Desert island novels!- but these ideas are often revealed as gimmicks. And many shows feature the same guests promoting the same books. Author interviews, although inspiring, quickly become repetitive. But for all the choice, the book podcast genre is starved for innovation. Indeed, many of us love talking about books just as much as reading them, which helps explain why podcasts about books are so plentiful. For a solo pastime, reading can also be a rather social activity. ![]() ![]() ![]() McConaughey can lay on the oily charm with the best of them, as can Douglas, who of course nails it. It all worked, and doesn't apologize for it. Sure, it's silly, but wasn't Scrooge also? But, I'll be damned if the vision of Connor's funeral didn't choke me up. Yes, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is a tearjerker romantic comedy with no qualms about being exactly what it is. "No one will miss you," he tells Connor, who like Wayne once thought he could live forever as a guy who can bounce from woman to woman without feeling anything. Connor thought Uncle Wayne was the coolest, but Wayne lets him in on a little secret: Years of womanizing led to a lonely life and an even lonelier afterlife. He appears to Connor as a ghost warning Connor of the pending spirits' visits and pleading with him to see the error of his ways. Uncle Wayne, by the way, is the Jacob Marley of the movie. Connor learned the lessons all too well, and when true love stares him in the face in the form of Jenny (Garner), the girl he's loved all his life, he shuns her for fear of being hurt. ![]() The girl he had a crush on danced and made out with another guy at a school dance, so his Uncle Wayne (Douglas), teaches him the ways of being a lounge lizard/lothario so Connor would never have to be brokenhearted anymore. He has a pleasant, superficial personality which masks emotional scars from his teenage years. Yes, Connor is a shallow womanizer who hits on the mother of the bride the night before his younger brother's wedding (which he basically decries as humbug), but he isn't so far gone that he's irredeemable. The movie proudly borrows from A Christmas Carol and makes Connor its Scrooge, only he isn't against Christmas, just the idea of monogamy and marriage. At least Connor Mead (McConaughey), the proudly single, lecherous ladies' man in Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is young enough to reap the benefits of his newfound identity once the aforementioned ghosts make him see the error of his ways. The saddest part of the happy ending of A Christmas Carol is that Scrooge had wasted a lot of years being a prick and might be too old to truly enjoy his newly acquired happiness.
