Apparently John Madden is Off His Rocker…

…For designing a game that still has the Dolphin’s as an elite team. Enough already. When I buy my new copy of Madden each year (it literally has become something I must do like pay taxes every year) I expect the teams to be equal or close to the skill level in real life. Now I understand these games are released BEFORE the regular season, but how about the EA people release a “Wooops Your Team Sucks Patch” over the internet. That way I do not have to get a sense of false hope this season because Daunte Culpepper just threw for 450 and 5 TD’s against the Baltimore Ravens in Madden 08. Boom! Stop teasing me Madden. What’s my point? Well it’s the new ESPN Madden 08 Forecaster. Man talk about a lush job. Here is your assignment for the week JD. Load up Madden 08 on PS3 and simulate all of this week’s scheduled NFL games and write a report about each result. Take a fancy screenshot and copy and paste the statistics. Here is what you get for the Dolphins/Texans tilt this weekend…

Dolphins 27 – Texans 16

It took five weeks but Miami’s first-year head coach Cam Cameron finally has a win under his belt. Led by Ronnie Brown’s 120-yard, two-touchdown day, the Dolphins upset Houston, 27-16, at Reliant Stadium in Houston.

First win. Heh. One can only hope.

Check the full prediction here along with the rest of the Week 5 matchups.
