The Life And Times Of A Future Madden GM
Anyone who has played John Madden football for whatever system you have knows about the glory and the greatness that is the franchise mode. There’s no better feeling than taking your beloved team and molding them to a Super Bowl winner in the first year of playing the game. Personally, my incarnation of the Philadelphia Eagles have won a Super Bowl in the first year of a franchise mode every year since 2002 — but I digress.
A lot of times, I have my little delusions of grandeur, and I think I can take a team like the Detroit Lions to the Super Bowl in the first year, but I typically lose interest. However, with the medium that is “Taking Back Sports”, I have the crazy idea that chronicling my timeline as a football exec through blog might actually be interesting to some video game geeks. I never said it’s a good idea. I just said it was an idea.
After consulting with Dr. Sports Fan, we have narrowed the field down to five teams that we both feel would be interesting to read about. Who knows? Maybe some desperate NFL owner will get wind of this blog and hire me as an NFL general manager. Let’s face it. If you’re smart enough to know NOT to draft Darrius Heyward-Bey with Michael Crabtree still on the draft board, I feel you deserve at least some consideration.
Here’s how this will work. There will be a poll below, and simply vote on the team you’d most like to read about me controlling. I’ll be posting reports so you can keep up with my insanity and geek-dom. I will also be using REAL NCAA PLAYERS IN DRAFTS via draft classes provided by NCAA Football 2010. Tim Tebow could be the new starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams if the Rams are chosen, but we shall see. Below is the list, so vote now. The lucky team will get my services, and I will start beginning February 1, 2010.
