cjgeraci Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ummm, I'll take football and not necessarily Madden, who was initially great the early years with Pat - but he just does not do it for me anymore (and is leaving a sinking ship). Of course, you may mean NFL Madden - the video game, and then I will admit that as a video game, it is top rate. My favorite time of the year - football. Time to root for your team (mine - the Rams), listen to the pundits make fun of your coach (Martz), scowl at your cross-state rivals coached by your former coach (Vermeil-Chiefs), anticipate the upcoming two divisional games quarterbacked by your former has-been Superbowl QB (Warner - Arizona), wince at your team's special teams (ours), watch your team rack up the points (ours), and hope beyond all hopes that your offensive line can actually protect your gun-slinging QB and hard-charging RB (Bulger and Davis). Oh, the anticipation. Happy NFL season to all fans. Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Amy Posted August 8, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 8, 2005 I'm a Rams fan too, Carl... woo hooo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfyr Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Amy and Carl, what city are the Rams in this season? Sorry, couldn't resist! They have indeed had some very talented members, hopefully they can put it all together this year! I enjoy Monday night.. it is definately a ritual - even if it is only on in the background with music playing! And I wouldn't mind them bringing back a Thursday night game as well. But I think I enjoy college ball even better, despite the lack of coverage of worthwhile teams/leagues on DFW TV! Sure wish they broadcast the SEC games! Gee it's hard to believe its here again already! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Damen Bonner Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 What marks the start of the football season for me is John Madden football and to hear Hank sing the Monday night theme song, I can not wait!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Martz conducting training camp locally (in town) will actually help the team's performance (instead of hindering it). Looking forward to not only to the visuals but to hear NFL action live on the Reference-based system upstairs or the Heritage-based system downstairs. Only a matter of a few or so weeks now until the first real game.... Carl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I dread going to Indy's to view NFL on his new high-def HT! It means I'll have to upgrade my system. But I dearly love NFL. Best sport going for the TV viewier, imho. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickB Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I've been waiting ever since I got a wide screen HD tv for the NFL season to start. Damn it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Did anybody see Chicago last night? There was my man Rex Grossman, QB for Bears. Photographed his winning smile at his wedding last month. I can't give details of the event, but what a superb young man in every way. Go Bears!

mandi Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I have moved to High School football. I can see a game every Friday night for under 10 bucks and the kids have not been tainted by the money (YET). I am about sick of the HUGE salaries (to play a game) and we just turn our heads on the drugs. RW should be banned, but as long as there are lines to be written in Vegas the machine will keep on rollin. I will admit I would take the money if I had the talent so I guess that makes me a hypocrit (sp). So, go Bulldogs and go Hogs (I could really care less about the Hogs, but when in Rome) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you say Madden, are you referring to the game Madden NFL 2006? Will be picking that up sometime today! Alas, another Rams fan here. Gotta keep Bulger healthy this year, no more shoulder injuries please! Oh and lets not forget about keeping Jackson healthy. Good to see that they got some new turf this year, hopefully it will keep his knees in better shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelerFan Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 No opinion on the Madden video game, I never play them. Madden the announcer? I'm a little tired of him. Brett Favre is one of the greatest QB's ever I'll admit, but Maddens hero worship gets on my nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was completely blown away by just how awesome it was to watch a game. I am typically not a huge fan of football (I'd much rather be out skiing, for example), but wow! Watching a game on the HDTV really drew me in to the action. I might as well friggan be there - on the sideline, no less! As an aside, I did not realize just how good I had it until I tried to go to a local sports bar to watch a game. Between all the smoke and the noise and such, I could hardly watch the game (much less listen). At the half-time, I decided to hell with it and go back home and watch the rest of it. Much, much better experience! And on top of that, there is a guy at work that is trying to talk me into getting onto his fantasy football league.

Deang Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Browns fan -- I don't know if I can handle another season without hanging myself. Someday someone in the organization will figure out that you can't run or pass without an offensive line. IDIOTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
