T.O. Reportedly Signs With Bills
According to reports Terrell Owens has signed a one year deal with the Buffalo Bills. How will he fare in Buffalo with Trent Edwards as the QB? Does this move make them a contender in the AFC East? To me this makes some sense in that it is a one year deal so T.O. will be playing for a contract next off-season. But I don't see how he can be expected to handle playing with a QB that is not nearly as good as the ones he has criticized in the past. One thing is for sure the Bills will have a ...

Super Sim in NCAA Football 10
This week's NCAA Football 2010 update focuses on the improvements being made to the Super Sim feature for this year. Those improvements include a new way of presenting it, proper CPU clock management, and the ability to skip plays in Campus Legend. You can read about it on the Inside EA Blog here. I'm definitely happy to find that you'll be able to sim through any Campus Legend plays you don't want to participate in. I remember how annoying it was to have to cover kickoffs. This also open...

Where Will T.O. Go?
With the news that the Dallas Cowboys have cut Terrell Owens now all the speculation has turned to where he might end up. Given that he has burned so many bridges there aren't a whole lot of viable opportunities. He will be looking to go to a team set up for a playoff run that has a good QB however ones that might need a receiver. Several teams have actually already come out and stated they want nothing to do with him. So who will end up singing him? Or will he even be able to find a team...

Madden Off-Season Screens Set #2
It's just the second day of free agency and joining all the signings comes a huge trade as Matt Cassel (along with Mike Vrabel) is sent to the Chiefs with the Patriots receiving their 2nd round pick in return.

If you missed the first set of screenshots you can check them out here. Conti...

Madden Off-Season Screens Set #1
There has been a great deal of player movement in these early hours of free agency. As I did last year I am going to try and keep track of the major transactions and put the players in their respective new uniforms in Madden 09. I'm attempting to wait until the deals have been made official and have a bunch more ready to go that are approaching that point. This is just the first set. Look for another Saturday evening and additional ones as warranted. Be sure to leave your thoughts on the ...
