Somehow you brought politics into a letter to John Madden regarding character rankings in a video game.
You suck. - GravyTrain6, on 10/12/2007, -4/+68except for his super bowl rings....yea, he doesn't know anything about football
- hoppdawg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+55***** hilarious
"My agility rating on your game is 33. It makes it sound like I just topple over if I start walking too fast. Ted Washington is rated a 40 in agility. He is listed at 365 ponds. If Ted Washington tied a white lady up and made her wear a metal bikini, he’d look just like Jabba the Hut." - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44after surfing around the site, i believe that email is satirical.
- pandlcg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42ESPN had an interview with Ethan Albright and he doesn't care at all. So it is definitely satirical
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/060906 - MikeDawg, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42You know, while I normally appreciate flames, this is stupid. He was a winning coach at Oakland. He knows at least a little bit about football.
- jpcoombs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4053? Man, I was rated at 57, and I don't even play in the NFL. He must really suck.
- izzie2, on 10/12/2007, -3/+39When it comes to explaining the game in laymans terms there is no one better than John Madden.
I will admit however that after I heard him talking about how you know if a lineman is any good judged by the sweat in his buttcrack,I started thinking that old school sometimes is not good school.
Maybe if Albright would sweat more from his buttcrack he would get a higher ranking.
Just a thought. - theMcPatriot, on 10/12/2007, -3/+38hilarious. I don't care if it wasn't written by the actual player.
- ImOscar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25"When it comes to explaining the game in laymans terms there is no one better than John Madden."
Are you kidding? I'm accustomed to gems like this- “Hey, the offensive linemen are the biggest guys on the field, they're bigger than everybody else, and that's what makes them the biggest guys on the field.”
Now, I can't vouch for the legitimacy of that quote actually being his, but it's in line with a lot of what he says on a weekly basis. John Madden is good at explaing the obvious to an idiot. - t1t0, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25http://duggmirror.com/gaming_news/NFL_PRO_emails_JOHN_MADDEN_Reason_His_Low_Player_Rating_in_Game/
For those without referers... - crawfishsoul, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Actual John Madden quotes:
“Don't worry about the horse being blind, just load the wagon.”
“Coaches have to watch for what they don't want to see and listen to what they don't want to hear.”
“When your arm gets hit, the ball is not going to go where you want it to.”
“The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.”
And one for the self-promoting spammers out there:
“Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.” - FlaG8r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Madden purposely dumbs himself down for the casual fan. He still gives the hardcore fans some red meat every week.
Also, while he only won one SB, his record at Oakland was tremendous. It all starts with the 8-man sled. - diskopo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17How about for those who want to send the link to other people?
- MrMysterious, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15So how the hell do they get a pass accuracy score for a defensive lineman? Do they pull his tapes from PeeWee football when he was skinny and was the 3rd string QB?
- oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10i was/am the poster and i agree. when i posted the article i honestly thought this was a legitimate email.
after submitting the article, i surfed the site more and started to have my doubts. the very first comment is from me trying to clarify/resolve the issue. i apologize for the misrepresentation, it wasn't my intent. - noseeme, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11The poster of this story should have indicated that it was satire.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Here's the dude's player profile. He's a long snapper, which is a large reason why he has a low rating.
http://www.redskins.com/team/profile.jsp?id=2288 - vypergts, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13All you ***** are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-lickers. We're gonna ***** your mothers while you watch and cry like little bitches. Once we get to Hollywood and find those Miramax ***** who are making that movie, we're gonna make 'em eat our *****, then ***** out our *****, then eat their ***** which is made up of our ***** that we made 'em eat. Then you're all you ***** are next. Love, Jay and Silent Bob.
- withears, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I wish this were real. I'd be a HUGE fan of this guy.
As for Mike Vick, he should have a 12 as a QB. That guy sucks as a QB. Make him a WR or something. - dataloss, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10That is the funniest thing I've read all week. Man, I don't know ***** about football, don't really know who either is (well, I know Madden only 'cause its a computer game, and well...I'm a nerd) but damn! My favorite paragraph:
"John, you are such a ***** dick. I also noticed that my kick return rating was a 0. I was rated a ***** zero? So you feel that I shouldn’t even receive a 10, or even a 5? You are pretty much saying that I couldn’t even fall forward on a ball kicked in my direction. I would just stand there and let the ball bounce off of my ***** face. ***** that, John, I returned an onside kick 6 yards in 2002. You should have just slapped a - 4 on me and had the EA staff ambush me with paintball guns. "
LMAO.
I'm pretty sure I'd be able to get a 5, at least. But then again, I _do_ paintball, so I wouldn't mind the latter either!
Funny, even as a satire.
-dl - jaredvolkl, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I almost spit my soda out when I read that Ted Washington/Jabba line.
- phatvolvo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The guy's surname is Smart...
dumbass. - po43292, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"***** me sideways with a lunchbox" -- funniest line ever?
- MikeEnIke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3'Hmmm, so I guess that finally explains why all rookies have always been rated 0..."
Right, because rookies have never played a game of football in their life before the NFL. - sovereign3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Read:irony
- jeebus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's all about the Tecmo Bowl anyways.
- obsaysditto, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3haha im sure players that play the game actually wonder what their rank is..... people are always curious about how they compare to others.
whether this is real or not, its still funny - Herffinator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2my goodness...this is probably the funniest i've read in a long time.
- dBLiSS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Come on, it is obviously satire. Even if it were written by the guy, it is funny as ***** and should have atleast been labled "funny as *****"
- dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9I wouldn't question his knowledge about the game of football. I would question his intelligence, period. The guy talks like a *****-eating begger on the corner, with generally as much coherence and sense. He really should not be in the announcer's box, but I won't defy his knowledge as a coach.
- SteaminTmann, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5funniest part is this comment underneath one of the bottom pictures:
When I'm not snapping balls, I snap necks. - MoeWasHere, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3TECMO SUPER BOWL FTW!!
- razicop, on 04/18/2008, -0/+1very interesting game, thanks for share this...
also check this site for online game:
http://www.joinarcade.com - mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He's a long snapper. They don't list it as a position in Madden so he gets lumped in as a lineman. If they rated long snapping he would have like a 99 while Mike Vick would have a 12. They interviewed him on MTV for a special about Madden 07.
- Lumbeekid06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Karyyk
how many superbowl rings do you have? - SlackerCSB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Funniest Thing I Read This Week...
"It’s also pretty wonderful that my awareness rating was 59. You make it sound like I wake up in the morning, helplessly ***** and piss myself, then lose three of my teeth before I discover that I am trying to eat a rock for breakfast. *****, John, I understand you saying that I am slow and lacking athleticism, but a rating like this pretty much labels me as retarded." - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I don't even like sports that much but I thought this was really, really funny. I just have to watch out for all the Digg articles popping up that are false due to satyre.
- korehyun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hahaahhahahaahaa!!!!!! That was hilarious. That literally had everyone in my office staring at me like WTF is wrong with this guy. I don't think anyone in my office has ever seen me laugh liek this.definite DIGGS to whoever wrote that.
- jlrolin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Very hilarious! I have always looked at some of the Madden ratings as well as other games I play like NHL series and wondered how they came up with the ratings in some categories. This just confirms thoughts I've had of a player having 10 or 20 awareness when someone else has 80. It's as if a car was actually hitting you while you crossed the street, 10 awareness, you'd probably not even know you were being hit.
Hilarious fake email, great laughs. - Beernutz14, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1FUNNY!!!! i dont care if he wrote that, i have to say that was painfully hilarious to read. I was sitting in my dead silenced office cracking up, I couldnt stop thank you!
- nreynolds, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Mike Leach is the best long snapper in the NFL.
- bkedelen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is hysterical. Not for people interested in a serious football discussion, just a really funny dude bagging on John "90% of the game is half mental" Madden.
- Nivla, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2LOL, I play high school football with Ethan.
- Redskins26, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Madden coached an Super Bowl team. So Does he know a little bit about Football.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Redskins26, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0if he sucked then how would he wouldnt have been in the NFL
- Redskins26, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Shut up! Reggie is awesome. The only reason thta they put him a WR is because he splits with Duece. They r both great its just that since Reggie played With Matt Leinert He has more experiance catching and shows that he can do great at it. So SHut Up
- Redskins26, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0He is right he is better than that. If he can let Clinton and betts both get good yards then hes a 100 in my book i mean i love the Redskins look at my name.
- velvet396, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1almost uncontrollably snickering in my cube at work. ***** hilarious!
