In the process the NCAA team ripped heartily on past iterations in the series which may prove to irritate thos...

    The Madden NFL 13 cover tournament has reached the Sweet 16! No true surprises emerged from the last round. Most of the higher seeds won and the few that didn't probably weren't truly deserving of the seeding they were given. The big news is Arian Foster knocking out Tim Tebow but really that shouldn't be thought of as an upset. Foster should have been considered a tournament favorite, Tebow didn't even really have a team's fan base to call his own for much of the week, and there are just...

    Over 10 days now into the new league year and free agency is starting to tail off with most of the major names having been taken off the market. Teams are beginning to shape up and needs heading into next month's NFL Draft are more apparent. Here is a look at the teams that have made out best for Madden NFL 13 and those that are likely to have their status plummet. This is not necessarily an evaluation of which teams have had the best or worst offseasons to this point but rather those who...

    Following the first day rush of transactions, and the ones in the days that followed, players who took more time with the process have been starting to fall into place. Peyton Manning the big name of course but others like Matt Flynn, Brandon Lloyd, and LaRon Landry will make an impact for their respective teams. Here’s a look at the most recent moves to go down in the early days of the new NFL league year.  (more…)...

    There was only one big surprise from the round of dual team representatives for the Madden NFL 13 cover. In fact, based on the preview last week, almost every player that was expected to advance did - the only exceptions being LeGarrette Blount and Brandon Lloyd which hardly would be considered upsets. Lloyd, now a Patriot, will face off against the original team rep Rob Gronkowski, who at least at this point remains in the tournament despite serious concerns. Last year's tournament ru...
  • Tim Tebow Traded to the Jets. Then maybe Jaguars? Nope Jets it is.

    It didn't take long for the Denver Broncos to ship Tim Tebow out of town. The New York Jets have reportedly acquired Tebow for a 4th round pick. The Jets will likely utilize Tebow to both push starter Mark Sanchez, who just got a large contract extension, and in special packages. The thought of Tebow entering the largest media market and being combined with Rex Ryan is about the worst case scenario that could ever have been imagined. (Update) And now comes news that there may be a s...

    The era of Tim Tebow as a Denver Bronco is about to come to a close. With Peyton Manning displacing him a handful of teams are reportedly showing some level of interest. The Jaguars, Jets, Dolphins, Packers, and Eagles are the teams said to have made inquiries. Of course there could be misinformation going on, and a surprise team could ultimately emerge to make the deal, but these teams in particular being in the mix do all make sense at least to some extent. The difficulty in acquiring T...
