Spurs’ Tony Parker: cover athlete for ‘NBA Live ‘09’
He gets to be married to Eva Longoria and now he gets to be on the cover of EA Sports’ “NBA Live ‘09.” Even losing the NBA championship, it’s still not too awful to be Tony Parker.
EA announced that Parker is the cover athlete for its long-running basketball series. Peep the cover shot and a screen grab below.
And, say it with me: “Go, Spurs, Go! (Next year!)”

Two videos that couldn’t be more different
Today, I offer you two videos that could not point in more different directions. However, each may enrich you in surprising ways.
First off, the local social media folks at the American Cancer Society have launched an online video contest for their Relay for Life. The deadline is Aug. 10 and the prize (aside from potential national exposure) is a Flip camcorder. Now, if you’re submitting an online video, I’d have to assume you already have a video camera, but, hey, they make great gifts. Here’s a promotional video for the contest featuring not quite the best rapping you’ve ever seen:
The second video is a “Reveal trailer” of the upcoming game “Call of Duty 5: World at War.” “Call of Duty 4” was a huge hit last holiday season that many gamers are still playing. Will a return to a WWII setting derail the franchise?
You be the judge (warning, lots of video game violence ahead):
A relay of hope and a bunch of virtual guys gunning each other down. You can’t say I don’t give you some variety for your Wednesday.
