Fake NFL players in FA pool

[alangst]

Sadly, the Female QB, from Texas nonetheless, was rated higher than Demarcus Russel....So sad. I think i'm gonna go and drink some cough syrup.

Wasn't the Robert Yu(you?) name also a Make-A-Wish case?

I have no problem with a kids wish getting fulfilled and being in Madden.

Well, I imagine if you were to sign them to a team, they'd be in Franchise....but as it stands, they aren't in the FA pool in Franchise. It appears to be more of a "hey look, I'm in the game" than players who would have an actual effect on gameplay.

You might be an NFL bust if...

I'm glad that EA puts these players in, but I'm also glad they had the foresight to take them out of franchise mode...though I will miss that 5'8" running back Daniel Frisch. He was a lot of fun as a spell back.

You should probably lay off the self-prescribed medicinal treatment...its "Jamarcus Russell".
