Madden Madness : Week 7.0 (and 6.0!)

O Man. Do we have quotes for you today. Week 7 was our first Madden Madness week with a run-off for winner. So, we'll have a countdown to the winner, but first the official placement of the Week 6.0 winner which Scot selected for us...

Marshall Faulk is a master at finding the soft spot.

Incidentally, there was much talk of the "soft middle" last night, with Al Michaels (a regular reader of this blog) seeming to knowingly incite John Madden into continuing his incidental pun.

That was Week 6.0; this is week 7.0, which begins with an off-handed compliment of Denver's quarterback:

These are the things Jake Plummer is very good at: calling the option or if he doesn't like it calling a time out.

I am glad that there is recognition of the tremendous skill it takes to call a time-out.

Meetings! He was the first coach to have meetings!

I don't know if it was Madden's bewildered excitement over the complicated notion of the "meeting" or... well, that's what it was. I don't know, maybe Paul Brown would like to be enthusiastically remembered for introducing meetings into the National Football League... but, that's why that's number 2, and the following is number one:

I just figured out that the Batmobile has to be black.

I could explain the context of this, but then I'd just have to explain how out of context it was when Madden finally said it. Needless to say, Al was busy describing an incredible catch when our winning quote of the week burst onto the scene.

Stay tuned for Week 8.0, the kind-of halfway point of this bold adventure highlighting the abyssmal Dolphins and the soaring Jets in a potential trap game but probably not.
