LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
I have no clue where ck is and xbox live is down tomorrow.

Does anyone know why he has to get these games done? I havent been keeping up with stuff.

Good game Wellington, well played. I couldn't stop that stupid Shockey out pattern the whole game. I dont get why you kicked it to El the whole game, one of the times you had to know that would happen. And did we find a bug in the game with the end of the first half? I thought the clock would stop.

That was the WORST way to lose. I couldn't stop the rollout & pass (Konex style) so I had to go for it on fourth and inches at the 21 with 41 secs left in the game instead of kicking the FG (in my mind at least). Stupid me I didn't allow the shift before snapping and you know how when you are caught midshift on D they get a big push.

I am so pissed about this game. The stupid spinning, the rollouts, the clock not stopping at the end of the half when I got knocked OB with 5 seconds left. The injury on my team on the last drive giving sable an extra time out. Ugh.

I will steamroll my division from here on out. Martyball takes over Moochball.

I threw 10 times, of which i rolled out only 2 -4 times and only when pressured by strahan or osi. I didn't have a passing td and the longest pass I threw was to portis for 26 yards because he was wide open. Half of my passes I didnt complete, and two of the rollouts I hit portis. One of the "rollouts" was when your lineman was chasing me and i threw it away, but I guess thats cheap next time I'll give you the sack.

I can't believe your complaining about this. You got portis to fumble twice, had 2 chances at fgs, went for it twice on 4th and 1 to try and make sure I didnt get the ball back. Have you ever seen Brunell play? Hes not Bledsoe in the sense that he won't just stand there Stonewall Jackson style. I have never seen anyone complain about a 5-10, 86 yard performance before.

Thankfully I stopped you the last time and then OT happened. I have never seen anybody continously kickoff to el, its like asking for a td. The spinning? sorry I just will not press any buttons next time and just run. I spin once to juke out a kicker and that pisses you off?

On a side note, how come when I switched the package to spell HB it didn't take out Portis and put in Betts? that caused one fumble. I didnt even realize he was in. Another time I had to audible out of a rushing play cause I noticed he was still in.

Come on man. I come on to say gg and here you are complaining about something silly. You lost the game all by yourself. I don't think I know many coaches in the NFL who would not kick the go ahead field goal with 50 seconds or so left and the other team with no timeouts. And it wasn't a long fg thats for sure. I understand your mad, but I played fair.

I admit that it was my game to lose, and I somehow did. But cmon, running away from Osi and Strahan? They attack from the outside, you wouldn't be able to rollout.

It was a finely played game on your part, though.

likewise I'm glad we discussed it further after you had calmed down. I look forward to playing you again. One of the most exciting games I've played this whole year. Also I forgot to comment on it, but yea it was insane how your dude got injured right on that last driving saving me a timeout. I kept hitting select and it was like "offense calls a timeout" I was like huh.

Thanks for playing our game tonight, Konex. Tomorrow XBL is down and Wednesday I'm busy.

Speaking of which...our game was 100% horseshit, Konex. I'm sorry, I like you, but that game was 2 parts horse and 3 parts shit. Nevermind the horrible lag, but the way you play is just unadulterated caca. You were playing a straight up game at first, but then you saw that wasn't working besides the lucky opening TD where the tackles didn't register because of the lag and bell broke for 75+ yards, so you started cheesing it up.

Btw- those that were wondering if you can bank a pass off the goal post, yeah, it's possible.

I knew it. My new goal.

Also FMT we weren't supposed to enter final scores right? I edited back out me and Wellington's final score, but just making sure u were referring to those games specifically.

Not like it matters, with the atrocious lag in the 360 version the experience is ruined online anyway. Might as well wait till Madden 08 when Tiburon fixes online. Hopefully....

Or Madden PS3 with new better graphics, new physics engine, gang tackling, spectator mode, and the return of everything the 360 version stripped! GOTY!!

Yeah, and like I needed Moss dropping even more catches. :( Dude dropped 2 TD passes my last game. Had to settle for FGs. So, my run game, passing, defensive line, and oline are downgraded...sux! I won't be able to do anything now. :lol

I believe this only covered up till week 4? Only explanation I got. Just looking at that factor and the fact that Brunell went up. Not sure though.

Pft, where's the freaking Philip Rivers upgrade! Rivers is the new Dan Fouts (only famous SD QB I could think of) out there! The way he's shredding teams up he needs an upgrade total!

No. Just because Brooks is shit doesn't mean that the rest of the team is shit. It doesn't mean Moss and the other rec corps are all of a sudden shit.

Fargas has a 17.5+ YPC average on 90 carries going into the last game and no fumbles in the last 2 years and only 1 in the last 3. His speed is amazing, too. Yet, here they have him rated real low, he doesn't have the speed he should, and he's a constant fumbler. Hell, Brooks isn't even supposed to be the QB right now. This update is wrong on a lot of levels.
