Brandon Marshall Traded to Dolphins
Brandon Marshall has been traded from the Denver Broncos to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for this year's second round pick (43rd) and next year's second round pick. Marshall provides the Dolphins with an offensive threat that hasn't been delivered by top choice Ted Ginn, who himself is apparently being shopped.

The voting for what demo matchup will be offered for Madden 11 opened on March 30th with the winner to be announced on April 22nd, the day the NFL Draft begins.

For the second consecutive Sunday a big trade has gone down. It isn't very often that Super Bowl MVP's are traded, but when they are they generally fetch better than what the Steelers have obtained in exchange for Santonio Holmes. Holmes has been traded to the New York Jets for a fifth round pick (151st) in this year's draft. The Steelers have recently been dealing with a troubling image hit due to the actions of both Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger. Holmes is actually facing a potential four...

ESPN in NCAA Football 11
For all who have been pleading for ESPN style presentation to be added in the NCAA Football series, it appears you will be getting just that. While there were some comments made in the earlier article regarding the spotting of ESPN in an image, I hesitated to post on that because I couldn't make it out myself.
