NASCAR had decided to add Jeff Gordon as a 13th driver in this year's Chase. It looked like Jeff Gordon had secured a spot in the Chase last race at Richmond but Clint Boyer "scratched his itch" (intentionally spun) so his teammate Martin Truex Jr. could make the chase. His crew chief told him prior to the spin, "I bet its hot in there itch it". Michael Waltrip Racing wasn't the only team that cheated though. Penske Racing made a deal with Front Row Motorsports so Joey Logano could pass David Gilliland so he could secure a spot in the Chase. Three teams attempted to manipulate the Chase. MWR was fined $300,000 and all of their drivers were docked 50 points. Truex Jr. was taken out of the Chase and Ryan Newman was added in a couple of days ago. I'm sure Penke Racing and FRM will get disciplined as well but I haven't heard anything yet.
I think NASCAR made the right decision by putting Gordon and Newman in the Chase. Gordon has always been my favorite driver. I agree with Jimmie Johnson though, Logano shouldn't be in the Chase.

Not Dead Yet: Sony Finally Slashes PS Vita Price
Its about time. The PS Vita is now only $199. The PS Vita hasn't been doing all that well due to high price, lack of games, lack of original games and the stupid memory card thing. The PS Vita will have Remote Play with PS4 and will be able to stream pretty much all PS4 games. The PS Vita could make Wii U irrelevant if it starts to pick up in sales and gets some more interesting games. I'm a lot more interested in the Vita now but I'm still waiting for more original games.

My Super Bowl Prediction
According to my predictions the Seahawks and Broncos will be in the Super Bowl. The Broncos have one of the best offenses I have ever seen and the Seahawks have a nearly impenetrable defense. I don't think anyone will be able to stop Denver this year. Their just too good. Having a future hall of fame QB, WRs Wes Welker, Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker just isn't fair. The Seahawks will put up a fight but Denver will prevail.
Broncos 27-17

My NFL Regular Season Predictions (AFC) UPDATED (week 8)
AFC North
1 Bengals 12-4- Andy Dalton is playing really well and the defense is one of the best in the NFL.
2 Ravens 8-8- The Super Bowl champs aren't the same this year. The defense isn't as good and Joe Flacco is playing very average football.
3 Browns 6-10- The Browns have a good defense but the offense is average. I think they will win 6 maybe 7 games this year.
4 Steelers 4-12- Wow what happened here? No running game, no defense Ben Roethlisberger has been average at best.
AFC South
1 Colts 12-4 Andrew Luck is the real deal. Luck has really turned this team around. The Colts are playing good football on offense and defense and I expect them to win the division.
3 Titans 7-9- If Jake Locker can stay healthy and if the defense continues to play well they could sneak into the playoffs. I don't see them making the playoffs but they have a shot.
4 Jaguars 0-16- The Jaguars have a great shot at going 0-16. They have NOTHING.
AFC East
1 Patriots 11-5- Tom Brady isn't playing as well as he normally does but the Patriots are still a playoff team and always will be as long as he is at QB and Bill Belichick is the head coach.
2 Jets 8-8- The Jets have looked really good some games and terrible in others. That will continue and they will split the rest of their games finishing 8-8.
3 Dolphins 7-9- Ryan Tannehill needs to start playing like the franchise QB he was drafted to be. Its not all his fault though, the defense could be better, running game is average and their WRs haven't played too well.
4 Bills 6-10- E.J Manuel and C.J Spiller can't stay healthy. I don't think thy can win too many games without their studs.
AFC West
1 Broncos 13-3- They have one of the best QBs ever, 3 great WRs, 3 solid RBs and a great defense.
2 Chiefs 13-3 Andy Reid has really turned this team around. At the time of writing they are 8-0 but I think a 5-3 record the rest of the way is realistic. They finish second because either they lose to the Broncos at least once or Denver will have more division wins overall.
3 Chargers 10-6- The Chargers will surprise some people. Philip RIvers will continue to play well and they finish at 10-6.
4 Raiders 7-9- Terrelle Pryor isn't a great passer but can get things done on the ground. They finfish at 7-9 which is pretty good for the Raiders.
Here is what the playoffs would be based on these predictions:
Seed #1 Broncos
Seed #2 Bengals
Seed #3 Colts
Seed #4 Patriots
Seed #5 Chiefs
Seed #6 Chargers

Nintendo Announces 2DS, Slashes Wii U Price
Nintendo has announced a new handheld, the 2DS. The 2DS will play DS and 3DS games however it can't play 3DS games in 3D. The 2DS will launch the same day Pokemon X&Y come out, Oct. 12th. It will cost $129.99. Also the Wii U Deluxe Set will get a 50$ price drop.
The 2DS looks stupid and seems pointless. It's sahped like a tablet. It doesn't have the clam shell design. It looks uncomfortable to hold. It doesn't play games in 3D. I don't see what the point is. Why not just pay a bit more for the regular 3DS? On YouTube it actually has more dislikes than likes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAExBTWIp3M&feature=youtu.be
