Bought Madden TODAY

EA Sports released this year's copy of Madden 2007. I have been looking forward to it. Even pre ordered a copy so I could get it the 1st day.
Initial thoughts:
* I like it. It's my kind of game.
* Love the graphics.
* Some of the mini games are swEEt. Love the passing, receiving and running.
* Glad I bought it.
* Played online with Hutch it was super fun. Sorry about wrecking your franchise by beating you.
* All Madden level is crazy hard. I throw like 4 INT's a half.
* Portis, C.Johnson, and of course Shaun Alexander rock. *Still has QB precision passing...boo! maybe that's why I get so many INT's.
* LOVE how you can get people to go offside, false starts and there is defensive pass interference calls.
* Thinking about being the Redskins as my franchise. Especially with Portis and Duckett now there. Better WR core but no backup if Brunell goes down. Defensively they are solid.
Things I don't like about Madden:
* Getting used to the Y button that used to be call audible now I go offside with a quick jump.
* Superstar isn't cool. I got drafted to the Vikings. Agrrrr!
* Portis fumbles WAY too much.
* No radio show or newspaper articles in franchise mode.
* Franchise mode is basic.
* Mini games it's too hard to run the 40, do the bench press and cover WR's.
* Got to make the recent trades like Barlow w/the Jets, Duckett w/the Redskins and Lelie w/the Falcons.
* No online franchise mode for me and my friends.

Conclusion: I am so glad I bought this game. No more Halo 2 just fighting on the grid iron. Go Packers!

Jersey's are HERE!

The jersey's have arrived! These AUTHENTIC babies are awesome. Thanks so much Peter I love this Alexander one. I am definitely wearing it to the game against the Giants in Seattle on Sept 24th. And of course tonight for the Minor League Draft.

Ebay rocks!

I am pumped! I am a new owner of an AUTHENTIC green Green Bay Packers Brett Favre Jersey (just like the one in the picture). I got it on Ebay. They retail for about $190-$250 US. How much did I get it for? Man you are going to love this. $34.99 US. I have no idea why they are on Ebay for that low. They are real and have the tags to prove it. So yeah I am just paying the seller and waiting.

And by the way my AUTHENTIC white Seattle Seahawks Shaun Alexander jersey should be here too any day now. So it's pretty exciting for me these days. Sports wise.

Two jersey's coming 2 drafts this week and a BIG smile.
