Speaking of Vumpler, leave me the fuck alone. Don't direct posts to me, quote me, IM me, reference me...nada! I don't want shit to do with you and many others behind the scenes feel the same way... The fact you'd come and shoehorn yourself into this year's league discussion following your epic dismissal (or "I'm too busy to finish the league") shows a lack of self dignity given we all openly celebrated when you left. You can parade around like you're in the crew, but we're all laughing behind the scenes about how pathetic you are.

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 disagree. Shawn has always been as cheesy as it gets. I wonder if he'll pass to the flats 85% of the time in madden 09's situations as well? :lol

At least this year I'll have recorded versions of all my games for proof of how I play to dispute bullshit statements and allow the commish's to see what went down for themselves.

Fwiw, I still think your d-line tactics are suspect but I deal with it....

Furthermore, I don't personally have a problem with you but I'm not going to sit by and let you take a shot at me without a retort. Are you trying to pick a fight or something like Vumpler did? It's crazy what that stupid little t-shirt did as my intent was to illicit a smile or two, not bruise egos...

I think it's partly the league's fault for not being more direct. None of us talk about the huge elephant in the room.

We're clearing the room early! There isn't going to be as much drama during because of replays. :( People will stop cheesing when they know there's an eye in the sky!

This is good, let's air all of our bullshit now so that come league time we're all over it and ready to play. If we're going to start down this road now we might as well end it now too.

Let me say that I think you are normally a very good player, and that you are a cool guy as well, but like Rors said we should stop ignoring the elephant in the room. You have done some things in games with me (and others) in the past that I think take advantage of the games AI in order to give yourself an edge.

And I'll tell you what, if five people say they have problems with the way I play DE, then I will stop. At least I won't have Strahan anymore, so even if I do control the DE I probably won't be as effective.

Anyone that wants me backing them up/to be in their corner during all this drama,I'll take free victories in exchange.

There needs to be a strong rookies league this year. I can't imagine coming into this thread for the first time and reading all this endless drama.

I swear, I'm going to have a nightmare one of these days about waking up at 45, going to work, having dinner with my wife, watching my child's school play, and then coming home and bitching about Vumpler.

I don't even know what takes "advantage of the games AI in order to give yourself an edge" means. Like everyone here, I try and get the ball to my Playmakers as much as I can. I *think* that the main critique comes from moving T.O. into the slot occasionally and getting matchups on backup corners and such. This is something I've done since the PS2 days where package changes were implemented. I can't help the fact EA still hasn't implemented defensive match-ups, but I can't unlearn years of mixing up my offensive looks....

To the d-line issue, here is my point. I can make an argument that you with a 90+ d-lineman vs a CPU controlled offensive lineman is " taking advantage of the games AI". Madden 08 had some of the worst and inconsistent line play in years and, in turn, a veteran Madden player that exclusively plays d-line can have a field day disrupting running and passing plays. You can attribute your success exclusively to your skill level, and that is fine, but there is a counter perspective that has been expressed (not only by me) that the line play was all kinds of unbalanced in the defenses' favor. You see, it works both ways, and I feel you are being somewhat of a hypocrite when I feel you are guilty of the offense you are leveling at me. As easily as I could have stopped occasionally moving around my receivers, you could have yielded from hanging out on the line exclusively. Yet I understand you've always done it, so again, "I deal with it".

My main problem is the fact you've lumped me in with Vumpler as someone "no one wants to play" yet you proclaim I'm "normally a very good player". I'm hoping you were just being inflammatory last night and the latter sentiment is the real opinion you have of me. Unless people are being really two-faced, I get along with most folks here and I have no problem playing exhibition games vs regulars throughout the season. I implore anyone that has a problem with me and my game to step up and talk to me man to man. My AIM is "ProfessaSkillset" and I'm always available. If Wellington's assertion is true that no one likes to play me because the perception is real that I'm a chronic exploiter, I'll bow out gracefully unlike another guy I know...

One!

PS- In a hypothetical sense, Berry and Biel would be perfect as you have the youth and experience factors baked in.

Just waiting until I can find a nice BC version with the DS3 at retail and I'm there. My LE copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 and my paid-in-full preorders of Madden 09 await me
I'm getting both next-gen versions of Madden

I think I'm starting to cave in and might get the LE of Madden 09. Especially since I get a non favre cover with the LE.

Damn you EA.
