    In a podcast from 1up on May 31st, APF 2K8 was touched upon after some time checking out the game. Some of the information that was laid out: 11 legends is the maximum per team, the rest are generic players. The legends are broken into three tiers. Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

    Most people saw the Pacman Jones suspension as the first sign of the Madden curse for this year. The Brushback has another take on how the curse is going to affect Vince Young.

    2K Sports has released the soundtrack list for The Bigs. It's a rock-centric lineup. I hesitate to comment on the selections as I'm far from being knowledgeable in the music arena.

However they essentially signed no free agents to help the team. Last year's 30th ranked defense actually looks as if it could be worse due to a couple departures. The loss of Eric Steinbach also hurts the offensi...

      Kevin Durant will be the cover athlete for EA Sports NCAA March Madness 08 as reported by the Seattle Times. Durant is widely expected to be taken second in the 2007 NBA Draft and go to the Seattle Supersonics.
