nosebleedjints Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Alright, I have not kept track of all this, since Madden started having players on the cover of his game 1) How many of the players have been hurt, 7/9? 2) Who have they been?

Oh, and don't take any offense to the prior thread. Understand my point on Mara, and thanks for the CSU help, let's not resort, at least you and I, to namecalling. I hate doing that, and fortunately only one deadbeat on here drives me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What player in any sport, let alone football, doesn't get hurt once in a while? And what about all the players who've been hurt who haven't made the Madden Cover? (not that I know what that is).

nosebleedjints Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 Fixed No, Petter Gammons is a reason why ESPN has lost credibility, is tough to view at times, and has been dragged down by sappy, homers. He has little to do with the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
