Roger Goodell drops the hammer on Madden 2010

I know one man who cares about the NFL, its image, and how his sport is represented. Roger "The Iron Fist" Goodell. After dropping the hammer on Plax, Vick, Marshizzle, Pac Man, and Stallworth the commish has turned his attention to Madden 2010 and the numerous complaints and lack of true NFL representation.

Rumor has it, the man who has made it his life mission to hold any and all accountable for bringing shame and discrace to the NFL is considering suspending EA for the upcoming season due to the embarrassment they are causing the NFL and the NFL brand. The commish states that even though EA has taken steps in the right direction, there is no excuse for EAs lack of quality concerning commentary, crowd noise, realistic physics and gameplay.

He specifically pointed out suction blocking, glitchy extra point holding penalties and phantom blocking stating "I don't know who my pulling guard was blocking but it sure wasn't the safety that just hit stick my tail back on that last toss sweep."

In light of EAs upcoming suspension 2k has teamed up with the makers of Backbreaker in hopes of producing the truest NFL video game ever. 2K states that with their phenomenal graphics, presentation, and basic know how on how to just do an NFL game right, combined with the Backbreaker physics engine, they are sure they can give us a true next gen football game.

This is not I repeat this is not a true article just me attempting to be witty and sarcastic about the lack of a truly great football game.

is it true? i hope you didn't make this up. will 2k be making an NFL game? if so, this is the best news i have heard all year.

I call b.s. on this. As much as I'd love to see 2K making NFL games, there is sstill the issue of the NFL license and the fact that EA has it for another 3-4 years. I call b.s. on this. As much as I'd love to see 2K back in the saddle, I haven't hea

Come on, guys. This is a joke article. Sounds like something that would come from The Onion. I highly doubt that Roger Goddell plays video games, and I'm sure that he doesn't care about the game's quality, as long as it's making money for the league. Do you really think Goddell has any idea what suction blocking is?

was that disclaimer there before? because i'm sure it wasn't there when i first read this...lol.

Wow almost had me goin there for a minute until I seen all the problems goodell was mentioning in deatail...lol. I was like there is no way he knows that much about the problems with a video game. This was before I seen the disclaimer, but you almost had me.

Nice read though.

Pretty funny.

I can't believe you needed to post a disclaimer. I mean, Goodell might for all we know be quite the closet gamer but I don't think for a second he's guliable enough to to think Backbreaker is the answer to anything but a rhetorical question on vaporware.
