Madden

I've suffered another heartbreaking loss in Madden. I came back from a three possession deficit in the second half, and then it really got crazy with about 6 TDs between both teams in the final 2 minutes. In overtime, however, I lost the coin flip and watched Kelly Holcomb deliver the game-winning score, which was his third 70+ yard TD pass of the game. What the fuck is that bullshit. Holcomb is not even in the league in real life, but he's firing these absolute bombs in the game - for the Bills. If my family hadn't been asleep, I would've flipped my shit and thrown my cat out the window. Instead I had to bottle up the frustration and stew in my rage. This is how terrorists are made.

As a side note, I played a record 8 Madden games today, which translates to 6 hours of Madden. Bow to me!

The real Tom Brady and the Patriots go for 13-0 tomorrow afternoon. This is really not a good place to be as a Patriots fan. With all the attention on the possibility of the perfect record, no one will be satisfied with 'simply' a Super Bowl win, of which they are all but guaranteed. A guaranteed Super Bowl... what's the fun in that? A loss at this point is about five times more devastating than a win would be satisfying. A win should feel like another rung climbed on a ladder when it instead just feels like relief for another week. Then again, it could just be that the last two close games have put the fear of God into me, and the Patriots will turn back into their running-up-the-score ways. No more close ones, please.
