also: not picking on you, joel, just using your post as a spin-off.

It's a fair point; there's all kinds of behind the scenes stuff none of us ever see, and sometimes it has a big impact on what we do see. Watching from the stands necessitates a certain amount of speculation. The difference is we're speculating about what's actually happening based on what's actually happening, not a bunch of pixels on a screen. Well, not just that; I'm reduced to watching games on a laptop these days.

If I had a nickel for every pixel on my screen while watching games, I might have enough to buy a soda.

Nice snap by Brewer. I'm not sure how they justify the rating.

But he learned how the draft works from playing Madden and he lives in a Holiday Inn fwiw.

Lol, its Madden. Come on.

this Aaron Brewer fellow sure sounds like a loser. Glad I'm not him

Still and so, the difference between Madden NFL and the real NFL is much like the difference between playing Top Gun on the old NES and flying a real Tomcat in Desert Storm.

My reality: Shattered.
