Madden Day

Today is the official release day of Madden 08. Like most people, I can not get this game because I do not have a PS3 and am not going to waste the money on it. I also do not have an HDTV or any other futuristic equipment needed to play the game.
(System + Game + Controller + HDTV + Wires = $1 Mil)

I think that Gilbert should have been on the cover of the game and so I have used my amazing graphic design skills to portray what the cover should have been.

At first I had Buckhandtz 08, but it just wasn't the same. It would be nice to score a TD and hear "DAGGAR" with 10 minutes left in the game, or "That was his 354th handoff this season...(1 handoff later)...That was his 355th handoff this season"

We will say that this photo was taken in training camp on a "helmet's only" practice. Oh no, did I just put the Madden Curse on Gilbert...hmmm I think maybe someone beat me to it last season.

And now some fake "Maddenisms" for the Wizards...

• "You can't dunk the ball If the ball doesn't go in the basket" (Haywood)
• "There are a lot of letters in Oleksiy Pecherov"
• "You can't get to the Finals if you lose in the first round"
• "Now they call that a field goal but, it doesn't really get kicked"
• "When you talk about an Eddie Jordan offense, your usually talking about an offense"
• "The team that scores more points than the other team usually wins"
