Madden Madness : Weeks 2.0 and 3.0

O John Madden.

Apologies for these very late Madden Madness entries. As I stated in an earlier post, internet-ing in my apartment has become a very impossible thing. This weird chapter of my life will be over by the end of next week, but Madden Madness will last on for at least another 14 weeks.

From Week 2.0, Eagles vs. Vikings (the evil twins of the NFL):

Those shoulder pads win games.

In these times of tribulation, I have learned that I must use my notebook more often because I can never know when an ISP will abruptly and without reason dismantle my connection. I actually had several quotes from week 2.0, this particular one submitted by good friend and Official Liver Dilator of TMSO, John Bertram; it was the only one strong enough to live on in my memory over the past two weeks.

From Week 3.0, the coaching grudge match of Dallas vs. Washington, proverbial words on the nature of the game:

It's all about the ball.

So far, the winning quotes exemplify how multi-faceted the wit, wisdom and madness of that loveball football scholar, John Madden, is.

Next week's potential bore match (power-D Baltimore vs. uber-offense-of-yesteryear Kansas City) could provide liters of hilarity from the legendary myth man, so stay tuned! (!!!)
