Ron Mexico is back!!!!
This is great. It's one way to get around not having the NFL license...
 hxxp://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/3832438 New video game features Ron Mexico FOXSports.com Posted: 1 hour ago Ron Mexico, the pseudonym reportedly used by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick when it came out that he was being sued by a woman who claimed he knowingly gave her herpes, has found his way to into a new video game. Midway's Blitz: The League, which isn't officially sanctioned by the NFL because of what it claims to be too much gratuitous violence, features a team called the Redhawks (that looks like the Falcons) and has "Mexico" as its quarterback. "No longer bound to the NFL license, there will be no league restrictions on content and gamers will finally experience what makes playing a football video game really fun," Midway CEO Steve Allison told Sports Business Daily. Electronic Arts owns the exclusive license for the NFL, which has forced Midway to be creative with its latest football offering. The game is co-written by Peter Egan, a writer on ESPN's Playmakers series that was not well-received by the NFL. Blitz: The League is due out in October and is sort of football meets Grand Theft Auto, in which players cheat, gamble and do drugs. The game will also include FHM magazine models to serve as cheerleaders and in various major character roles throughout the game's storyline. The cover features NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor — a.k.a. New York Nightmare linebacker Quentin Sands — who "plays a large role in evolving story lines that occur both on and off the field," according to a Midway news release. The Blitz: The League game summary goes as follows, "Playing in The League is your dream but you've paid the price. Your arms ache from weight-room reps and painkillers are blurring your vision. The dirty hits you've laid on QBs are career-enders but they also keep you employed. Two more sacks and you get your bonus, paying for your fast cars and faster lifestyle. Its 4th and 3 and you are up by 7. Stuff the offense, beat your opponents bloody and win at any cost."

That's very clever on Midway's part. Very, very clever. When is this game supposed to be released, anyway?
