Madden ’13: A tale of 2 games, both terrific and tragic.

Let's just get this out of the way right now: Madden '13 is a mighty damn good football game. There's no offline multiplayer Franchise or Dynasty modes. There's no Fantasy Draft.

The Weekly Worship: Geekin’ out on Fantasy.. Football!

Actually in this video, there are nothing but fictional sharks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCpdTNpnGI0 Well brothers and sisters, it’s Shark Week. And that means it’s time to put your personal life on hold and devote all of your precious free time to “Chompie” (thankfully back this year after his mysterious absence in 2011 and a surprisingly cheerful, humorous …
