It was such an awesome play that McFarlane made figures of it

I'd like to kick things off with the first trade offer of the season. I'd like to trade AP to the Cowboys for 5 defensive starters, 4 1st round draft picks, 3 second round draft picks, a 3rd and a 6th.

Standing offer, Cowboys only.

You throw in John David Booty and we got a deal!

EDIT - Farve too, so I can make him my 4th string QB for the season only playing mop up duty vs Frisco and Chicago

Hey, I helped co-commish the 360 league last year. After you thought it would be a WONDERFUL idea to create a rift in the leagues.
I told you PS3 sux :). Now give me my Chiefs damn it.

Lifelong Saints fan? :lol It would've been much more believable had you said Patriots or Jets or Cowboys! ;-)

The only reason I would take the Saints is because they were once coached by Ditka (GCOAT).

The only reason I want the Titans is because they're coached by 1985 Super Bowl champion Jeff Fisher!

I wouldn't even pretend to be fan of the cowboys...or the pats. I hate both of those teams.

As for you taking the Titans, since Fisher is the only reason, does that mean Kerry Collins would still be your starting QB?

Also, FWIW I was also a co-commish of the last 360 league and the Rookies league in 08. That'a gotta count for something, right? :D

Even in Madden I wouldn't put in VY over Kerry Collins. That's retarded.

Seahawks fans don't want to take ownership of the team... it's a sad thing.


_____ = Pats For shame, Lone. For shame.



Everyone knew it was a Favre farce. Besides, he was on the cover, so they had to. Also, Trent isn't a legend. :[

All right I'm settling this once and for all. If lone doesn't want them I will end my 3 year run as the Chargers Head Coach (doing less with more!) and take control of my beloved SeaChickens.

Just don't give the Chargers to a cheeser FMT.

Dude, look at the Browns.

Braylon Edwards 86
Brady Quinn 71
Derek Anderson 70
Josh Cribbs 63 (Pro Bowl return man!)
Kamerion Whimbley 78 (the supposed top pass-rusher! ... until Kiwi!)
top DB, Eric Wright, is a 79!


OL looks good, though. At least Thomas and Steinbach.

A lot of people throwing their names in the ring. We should definitely wait until probably the week before real football season to kick off the franchise. Would be shitty to have dudes drop out.

yeah, my thought on it was at or around the beginning of september.

first off i'm hoping they might patch the salary cap/contract thing and that takes some time. for instance if we got a 100% guarantee from ian that the patch was going to go through in mid september then i would wait until then to start. it can't be stated enough how important that will be. otherwise, i'm going to have to come up with some system for free agency and player contracts which is going to be a real pain in the ass.

secondly, as improved as the game seems there are going to be those among us that just aren't feeling it and the additional time will allow people who hate the game to drop out before it starts rather than after.

Check out this awesome WR corps:

WR D. Heyward-Bey 76
WR L. Murphy 71
WR J. Walker 71
WR J. Lee Higgins 69
WR C. Schilens 64
WR A. Shields 50

Hot shit.


Oh, and we all saw in the vid that DHB can't run routes... got owned by the CB.
 
pffft, your defense is done now! and what's this? derek brooks is a free agent? well let me consult the order of the waiver wire that i just came up with in my head.... dang you're # 32 :(

as long as 31 other people don't want derek brooks you can have him*

*
i will be taking him so he can retire on the bench in shame!

I will take my ball and go home! You hear that?! Ball. Home!

I can't wait for my first TD to K2 against you. Just to see your face, I wish this game had Xbox Vision cam support!

KC just needs to grow a neck beard, and he'll be a legitimate glorified Kyle Orton!

So yeah, KC all the way!

You can have the Raiders if I can have the Colts.

You can shut your dirty whore mouth. I would rather be forced to watch Steel Magnolias for all eternity than play even one season with the fucking Raiders.
 
i'll never understand how you can play as the chargers.... what's the difference playing as the raiders!? if anything you should hate the chargers MORE! they've won the division for 3 or 4 years straight!

Blue can have the seahawks. Only teams I'm interested in are Chargers/Browns/Titans/Loltriots.
 
striker i see no problem in giving you the browns. nothing set in stone yet but i see no diehards or anyone who wants them badly.

probably stick lonestar with the pats!

And I'm not a diehard anything fan in NFL. Yes, it was charmin soft for the Seahawks. I still kind of like them, but it's not like it is for the rest of you. But, if it keeps me from being stuck with the Lions, Sorry Blue, then I would take the Seahawks :p

Thanks! After the season in Madden-Age with you guys and the Cardinals, the next league/season I wanted was a team with a decent OL and some decent offensive players, but not a powerful team, either. God I was pissed of playing Leinart so much and that OL... that OL! :|

Now we can trade/cut/sign/draft, so this should be dandy. :)

Missed this earlier. You promised to meet back at the SB next year and I waited for you, but you never came. :( I waited for you, damnit!

Lone how about a straight swap? I'll take the Seahawks and you take the Chargers?

Then r0rs can stop giving me shit and I can finally learn the names of the Seahawks players again!

Seahawk roster is easy. Just throw a dart at the entire list of Safeties in the NFL currently, and BOOM, there's your starters.

Oh yeah?

Smith - 76
Nicks - 76
Hixon - 70
Barden - 66
Manningham - 63
Moss - 60

FML. Hopefully they all have high POT ratings (As Ror indicated that is important for improving player ratings). I may have to re-buy Madden 09 (360!) to start practicing passing since I did such a miserable job last year.

I hope I get #1 waiver wire so I can get Burress back. ;) He's going to court today, by the way. If Goodell suspends him, will FMT mark him down as off-limits for the duration of the suspension or will we follow our own rules?

Further, since it is a franchise, when we correct our depth charts to what we want them at, will it carry over from game to game? I hate having to wait at the beginning of every game.

Code:
DL	J. Tuck	        95
DL	O. Umenyori	94
DL	M. Kiwanuka	85
DL	C. Canty	84
DL	F. Robbins	83

Oh boy. I wish Madden made players account for pass rush specialists with double teams. My LBs would be free to attack the ball if Tuck and/or Osi had to be accounted for on each play. Damned right I am putting Kiwi in as the fourth ace in passing situations. Likely move Tuck inside like they did last year and the year before.

Holy shit @ Haynesworth rated 99. WTF.

Your top 3 is better than mine and it's a younger group. Walker is my third best at 71 and he's ancient. :( Also, I haven't seen your team's route running ability. It's gotta be better than DHB and Co.
FML. Hopefully they all have high POT ratings (As Ror indicated that is important for improving player ratings). I may have to re-buy Madden 09 (360!) to start practicing passing since I did such a miserable job last year.
POT rating and age seem to be the most important.

Maybe he'll be taken by a team by September. If he is, I think he should be given to that team especially if we don't have a contracts patch.

Further, since it is a franchise, when we correct our depth charts to what we want them at, will it carry over from game to game? I hate having to wait at the beginning of every game.
Not only can you reorder your depth chart, but now you can do it from your computer or iPhone. :D

So, will players eventual retire in the league? I'd hate to see Randy Moss in the league for another 20 years.

What will JRuss's reason be for retiring??? Can I put money down on "Corndogs"?

Players will retire and JRuss will retire after he's cut next year for cap reasons.
