Yeah, probably later this evening. We had a little.......incident last night with the motorcycles.

Ugh, first big ride with my wife today and it went great. All the way up until the end. I took her out on some country roads, nothing too crazy, just to get away from all of the traffic. Most of the roads here, Kansas, are straight and 45 MPH so we were doing great. Rode for about 2 hours and as we were heading back home I decided to take a route that I have never gone on before. Well, we crested a hill, only going maybe25-30 MPH and the road turns into a wicked, downhill, cratered, sandy and gravelly nightmare. I almost went down and I looked into my rearview and saw my wife just eat it onto the pavement. She wasn't going to fast, only maybe 20 MPH, but it scraped up her knee pretty bad. She was wearing all the PPE except for the pants, just jeans on. They did nothing to help the abrasion. She was fine everywhere but on her left knee. The bike faired OK, its going to need new left grips, mirror, clutch lever, shifter lever, peg, peg bracket, plastic cover for the engine, and a kickstand. I ended up riding it home and had to actually put my heel on the shifter lever and pull back every time I shifted since it was so bent up. Her gear held up beautifully, she barely scraped the chin portion of her helmet and the new First Gear leather Jacket worked flawlessly. Not even scuffed up, it was dirty as hell, but perfectly fine and will still see a lot of use in the future. So, there is my impression/review of the jacket we were discussing earlier in the thread. Her arms are a little sore from the impact, but not scraped at all.

Yeah, I have been riding for a little over a year now, probably 5-6k miles and havent gone down. If you gear up properly you will be fine. Like I said, she was completely fine everywhere except for where she wasn't wearing proper protective gear.

Here in Kansas you don't have to wear any protective gear if you don't want to, not even a helmet. I see people all the time with t-shirt, shorts, and some sandals riding a crotch rocket at 100 MPH. All I can do is SMH.

sable, I'm just about to head back out again (crazy effin' weekend), but I will try to be back by 11PM tonight. Would you be able to stay up a bit late to squeeze this game in? I'd really like to not have to sim it. If not, if I'm allowed to have an AFC player sub (AFC North is my first choice), or worst case scenario play the CPU.

daw text me when (if?) you are ready to go. ill be playing MLB on ps3.... if the online gods allow me to finish a game.

after dealing with MLB's servers and weird league issues (games being completed but not reporting... but some of the stats do?) i will never complain about madden again.

except the fucking stupid ass requirement to download that shitty card game in order to play our online franchise. that i will complain about forever

You know madden 11 will force us to buy the card game and a new version of head coach just to hit start to get to the menus.

damn that was lame. i was in a shootout against the vikes up 38-31 in the 3rd but he was driving, then connection lost to opponent. and yes i have the game installed on my HD!

i think the only 2 stops of the game were a forced fumble on gore and a forced fumble on harvin :lol

Those were the only two stops. You held me to a FG once on a BS missed pass, and the clock held you to a FG at the end of the 2nd. Not my defense though, lol. They seem to be nonexistent this year.

you might be right o_O

p.s. but i'm not the only one with MLB problems :D

plus i am never disconnected from PSN or XBL in these instances

also i forgot what a fucking pain in the dickhole adrian peterson is. 99% of the time he breaks the first tackle attempt. the 1% is when you have like 3 guys waiting for him and he actually goes down immediately

So sable and LiveWire are playing right now. That'll leave four games left, and I assume Lions/Titans will be simmed. Any chance this advances tomorrow?

gg Sable. Thank you very much for staying up, I really appreciate it. Was a pretty epic and fun back-and-forth.

Crazy to think that we could have 3 or 4 10-6 teams not make the playoffs in the NFC.

10-6 usually won't cut it in the AFC. :cool:

I know first hand because I missed the playoffs with a better record than that because of EA's tie breaker system. :'''(

Not sure if you guys care, but "raczilla" aka Will Kinsler the Senior Community Manager apparently read some of my twitter complaints and said I had a good list of Madden grievances. Our voices are being heard!

Cool, what issues did you mention? I remember we were railing him on MTC when the first Madden 11 "info" was released.

Sable can you forward them your script so maybe they can integrate it into the website for next year. ;)
