Not really, but it seems that way. Look week of “real world” stuff, so no gaming updates until tomorrow. So how about those Jets? Makes EA’s decision to put Favre on the cover looks sort of silly. Last night I heard some talk about Favre being the face of the Jets and helping to usher [...]

My Falcons ticket arrived over the weekend. I know Atlanta is not going to be very good, but I am excited about getting season tickets. Can I get some beer up here? I will get to watch games from Section 331. Not the best view, but for $225 per seat (for 10 games), it is [...]

It looks like EA Sports is about to do the needful and patch NCAA Football 09. We can look at this two ways. WTF was EA thinking releasing a game with this many issues? Or we can be grateful that EA Sports is addressing the many issues with the game. At this point the horse [...]

I just had a total “oh shit” moment with the Madden 09 demo for the PlayStation 3. After calling a play, the players walked to the line and got ready for Eli to call for the ball. For some inexplicable reason, #69 (G, Rich Seubert) decided to walk away from the line of scrimmage. I [...]

I spent some time last night with the Madden 09 demo, and to be honest, I am not sure what to think. You start out by taking a serious of Madden IQ tests. I’ll throw up mine for all to laugh at (grins and giggles all around please) … Rush Offense (All-Madden @ 20%) Pass [...]
