We came up dry in our quest for a game of the week, so let me just remind you folks: Submissions, not just winners, of the epic contests you’ve played in sports games, get your comment handle starred. Details inside. It’s really simple: In our official sports open thread on the weekend, we want to kick things off with our epic comebacks and colossal beatdowns in sports games. I boldface and repeat that because some folks send me Halo: Reach deathmatches, which are competitive but not a sport. But I digress.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Any sports title on any console or platform is eligible; doesn’t have to be a current year game. We do ask that you take a picture of the screen showing the final score – a crappy cell pic of a TV or monitor screen is fine – and write up a couple paragraphs about why your game was so epic. Email it to me, owenATkotakuDOTcom, with “Box Scores” in the subject header. Submitters who follow all of these rules get starred. Consider this an outreach project on behalf of the sports community. So be sure to include include your commenter handle, or your commenter page URL if it is different from your handle.
