The Madden Curse

Some things just go together; peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, Pedro Gomez and the San Francisco Giants, Robin Williams and bad movies. That’s why, when people think football, they think of the Madden NFL video game franchise.

    Video gamers across the country are excited for the release of Madden 2008, which will be in stores on the 14th of August. Vince Young, 2006 rookie of the year, will be gracing the front cover following the foot steps of other NFL superstars.

The Trade Heard Round the World

He was a poor GM before this trade, and he’s a poor GM after this trade. Danny Ainge has dug his own grave.

True, the “Big Three” could and very well might overpower the Eastern Conference enroute to an NBA Finals birth. However, there are still so many questions facing the Boston Celtics. Not just right now, but in their not so distant future.

A Story Of Rebirth

by Trevor Freeman

As I was sitting on the balcony of my Opa’s (grandfather in Dutch) apartment in Hawaii he said to me, “You haven’t written an article on Bill Walsh yet.”  I told him that I had been meaning to but had gotten distracted with the amount of options that Hawaii can offer a honeymooning couple.  He responded, “Make sure you write something about the greatest coach the NFL has ever seen on the airplane home.”

The Plague

Is anyone else sick of hearing about high profile players getting arrested or having allegations thrown at them? I know I am. And the worst part is not the inability of these “naturally good hearted guys” to stay away from trouble, or whether or not they can apologize effectively enough for us to forget it all, but more, our eagerness to allow it to continue.

The Model

With all the talk of the Plus-1 format being set up to determine college football’s National Champion, I thought I would try a different idea.  This idea has almost no chance of working, since the Pac-10 and Big Ten conference commissioners have already stated that they will pull out of the Bowl Championship Series if the Plus-1 format or whatever number team playoff was implemented.  My idea calls for all of the BCS conference champions and two wild card teams from non-BCS conferences to play it out for the title.

NFC East Prediction

For a stretch of years I have been picking the Eagles to win the NFC East. Is it blind loyalty or is it the fact that the Eagles have been playing the role of the top dog in the division for almost as long as Andy Reid has been in town? Call me a homer but the fact is the Eagles have been the best team year in and year out every year in the NFC East, even the disastrous post Super Bowl year they probably had the best talent top to bottom but injuries (and personal conflicts) derailed that season form the start. This year will be no different.
