Madden 2010 - no steelers - Behind the Steel Curtain

Madden 2010 - no steelers

by BigDaddyTat2boy on Feb 24, 2009 1:45 PM EST Comment 56 comments

Well I was getting real bored with all the combine "nonsense" and the wonderful "color" commentary provided by the washed up or discarded X-NFL stars/star wanna bees and coaches..

So I was thinking whatelse can I do to consume the time I have before the combine is over, free agencey starts(and I get a good look at the base Steelers Team) and that long window to the Draft..

So Madden NFL 2010 - ok so the theory goes, you show up on the cover and your career in the NFL is over or at least highly damaged or your damamged..

Quick review here; 2009-Brett Farve - torn bicep week 12 - jets done , 2008- Vince Young - torn quadricpes (done, then lost job to old man in 2008). I included the link for the article covering 2000-2008.. http://www.snopes.com/sports/football/maddencurse.asp Even Ray Ray "the knife" couldnt beat the curse..

So with that said I beg you "MR MADDEN" go back to your Steelers hater mode and do not pick DEEBO, TONE or BIG BEN for the cover.

here is another one with predictions for 2010 - http://video.aol.com/video-detail/madden-2010-cover/4291993811/?icid=VIDURVENT02

This was really scarry because I forgot how much Madden is in love with TroyP.

Hopefully someone will get to Madden prior to the cover being finalized and convince him the best thing to do is not put TroyP on the cover or anyother Steeler ever on the cover, of course if they are retired that would be fine..

GO STEELERS!!!!

The Mike Tomlin Response

A player being on the cover of Madden will not affect the outcome of his season.

It is scary though how this coincidences have happened. I myself can’t wait for the game to come out, anyone else play madden on the 360?

When I say who dey, you say we dey.

Pretty much as much as I can I just play against people online. If you’re on xbox live, my gamertag is Sn0w13allz.

I think Tomlin would actually say something like this:

Everyday I go to work I walk past 6 Lombardi Trophies, not 6 Madden covers. This is not a team of individuals, this is a group of 53 men that win football games as a team, by playing together, for 60 minutes. That’s Steeler football.

Why should I change my name? He's the one that sucks!

lets put him on the cover then

by BigDaddyTat2boy on Feb 24, 2009 2:59 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

My guess is

Larry Fitzgerald will be on the cover

That is most likely right

Maybe Peterson?

Peterson is a good choice

Damn

Big Ben nearly died in a motorcycle accident without even being on the cover. I think if he gets on it this year, he might spontaneously combust on the while on the field. That would make my day.

by SteelersFnRule on Feb 24, 2009 3:38 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

he's not bashin'

He’s simply saying he’d like to see our QB running around like a human torch. Much like an ‘awesome’ defense getting torched in the last two minutes multiple times. ZING!

Only good news for Bears fans

Is that the rest of the NFC North is also filled with losers. Green Bay is the only one that can claim some shred of decency… But even that was a long time ago.

due to your nonsensical ramblings

I was able to piece together that XLIII was Ben’s first post motorcycle accident Superbowl. That’s pretty awesome. We didn’t know if he would even walk or talk again for awhile.

Dude’s hardcore.

Did you know that

Ravens are bigger than hawks, eagles, and falcons?

Ravens are the only predatory birds that hunt and KILL in flocks?

The species of raven that our team is based off of are in no way related to crows, the so called “rat birds” you guys all refer to.

Joe "The Crow" Flacco

Hah, isn’t that funny, they rhyme!

by paulamalu on Feb 24, 2009 7:44 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

so which of your precious linebackers will the ravens have to jettison?

if I was the ravens I’d drop ray ray and keep scott. No doubt they’ll screw up and keep lewis. That was keen of him to get the big spendin’ cowboys to give him a look.

Maybe they’ll keep both and really screw the pooch. Then the center has to go.

So who will it be? I guess we’ll find out on Friday…

by showtime on Feb 24, 2009 8:38 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I hope Scott

Ray can still play and it is not time for him to leave the Ravens, we are too close. Go head and tell me im wrong, but a player like Bart Scott can be replaced fairly easily, you cannot replace a Ray Lewis, at least right now. We are not ready for Ray to leave.

You have to hate losing more than you love winning.

by Mr MaLoR on Feb 24, 2009 11:10 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

I agree

No way they can (or will) let Ray leave, also agree that Scott can be replaced – hell you probably already have a guy on the team who could get 1.5 sacks ;) – I know I know he had the greatest hit in the history of hits on Ben like 3 years ago.

I will be sad if Scott goes – he is good entertainment. I especially liked it when the Steelers were whipping the ratbirds in 07 at home and Scott was talking trash like they were up by 4 TD’s. Then started complaining cause his teammates were getting wiped out by our old short slow WR. Great stuff.

The browns moved to Baltimore - hence the "purple browns"

ya now when you drink too much green koolaid, its whats left in the bowl.. hehehe

i hate to break it to ya MaLoR,

but the raven is a close relative to the crow, since both belong to the same family. And in no way imaginable are ravens bigger than an eagle, im assuming you mean a bald eagle.

So yeah, they’re still ratbirds. :)

Hey guys

How great would it be to see Mitch Berger on the cover. “Robopunter Sr.” Hah.

by paulamalu on Feb 24, 2009 7:38 PM EST reply actions 0 recs

Oh yeah

Any word on Super Sepulveda’s availability for next year. Can’t wait to see a good punter back in the black and gold. No offense to Berger. He got his and now it’s time to move on.

Last Steeler on a game cover...

Was Cowher on the NFL Coach game….then he retired.

pass to C Davis in the flat. Classic Arians.

Not food.....

just $20,000 worth of titanium! Remember Ben is now a cyborg which leads to his durability and super human ability.

My theory is he clicks his play sleeve around like a decoder wheel to optimize play performance.

You know the dude was dead then was rebuilt. He is basically darth ben.

Wow this went really wrong

Nice to know that we can still keep the rivalry going with those “purple rat bird browns”, since they will not be in the mix next year..

Recap – Ryan gone – D will suck, Ray Ray gone – no motivation in tough games. Joe “the crow” Flacco – beaten and busied, cuz without that D he gonna have to be a supa star, Dont think that will happen..
