Is that douche from that Madden commercial who claims he's the best ever because he's the only one who could possibly complete a two-point conversion part of that show?

'Cause I just want to kick the **** out of that arrogant snot.

Meh, dont care for kids that wear a jersey to their wrist and constantly talk trash. Go to school.

I might actually consider watching some of this show if they'd focus less on the players punk gangsta attitudes and focus on clips of their games, maybe.

I'd definitely watch the show if EA could find a way to control the cheeze/bugs/glitches and had implemented fair play. If there really was a show that pitted great SIM players vs each other, that would be great.

As it is now, the show should be called 'Cheeze Ghetto Game Glitch Exploit Nation' since it's way more about the ridiculous tools on the bus then anything to do with Madden...

What a car-crash of a show this is. It's one of those things that you don't want to watch, but you end up looking anyway.

It could be one of the worst shows on TV, but I know I'll still watch an episode or two.

I'm sure he gets his a$$ kicked in real-life all the time...

I have to come to realize many of the "top" Madden players actually do not watch a full football game, but highlights.

They actually believe they are playing a real sim type of way, because obviously QBs roll out on every play, and defensives consistently drop everyone in coverage.

Also the NFL and NCAA are planning to change quarter length to 2 minutes. So this will eliminate punts and field goals. 4th downs are the new 3rd downs.

# 14 MiamiWarrior @ 09/16/08 03:15 PM

I always laugh when these shows are on, I remember they were playing Madden 08 and about EVERYONE used the Patriots, drop backed 30 yards and bombed it. It's pathetic, I also love the "hardcore gangstas" who probably live in a nice quiet rich town, and act like they've seen everything and rub it in, cool you forced him to punt it, do you want a medal?

I would love to post a comment...but I better just keep it to myself and I'll leave my post at this.

This show is the reason next-gen Madden is such a disappointment ever year

You are not serious....you actually expect this to be watched? Flavor of Love meets The Next White Rapper meets some guy with a stolen console to trade / sell. ... yes, your assumption is correct, I am not "down wid it" and I am a "hay-uh" (*****). I like football....its a great game. 'nuff said....
