10. Your strongest memory of any NFL/NCAA games, moments, incidents, or news? My fondest memory of the NCAA was when I was at the University of Washington. I had bought a 3 game home pass to go watch the games, never got around to picking it up because I was too busying partying and trying to catch up on course work. The Huskies in 2008 absolutely sucked. Didn't win a game all season. So I didn't really miss anything. Still would've been great to go.

My fondest NFL memory is the 2011 Christmas eve game between Giants and Jets. I went to the game with my best mate. Was an amazing experience. I had never experienced cold like that day (would later experience worse cold on my trip but at the time this was something else). Spent the day trying to stave off hypothermia whilst cheering on the Giants. Was funny when Sanchez was sacked for the a safety the amount of jeering that went on. Lol nobody liked him. The atmosphere was incredible with 'J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets' chant and that douche in the fire helmet. Definitely want to go to another game in the future, hopefully at Lambeau.

Another great NFL memory was when I was at Lucas Oil and my mate dropped $800+ on Colts merchandise (a lot of it stuff he just didn't need) and then spent another $400 shipping it home lol

13. If you were commissioner, what changes to the NFL or NCAA comps themselves would you make? A team to LA, preferably moved from an east coast franchise.
14. What rule changes or concepts would you like to see put in or taken out of American football per se? I don't really care for the touchy feely pass interference calls. Also the penalties for OPI just seem over the top. Spot of the foul, automatic first down is excessive to me.

[Dirty Bird]

Smiths is now a Lions fan.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Madden can do that to a person, make them change or choose a team

 

[Dirty Bird]

Madden can do that to a person, make them change or choose a team

I know it's not madden.
But I know someone who supports Arsenal based solely on FIFA.
Supported the first team to come up in the list.
It'd be like someone becoming a Bears fan because alphabetically Bears becomes before everything else.

 

[Exe Gesis]

However they get there is tolerable. As long as they get there (becoming a fan of the game).

Realistically, 49ers should be first on the list btw. But they put them under "F"

 

[Dirty Bird]

Yeah, I find that weird.
I think some maddens, Cardinals are first due to "Arizona"

If I were to support a team due to Madden, I probably would've gone Dallas.
They gave me a shot in Madden 07, drafted me, and it was real fun playing with them in superstar mode

 

[Exe Gesis]

Can't imagine you as a Cowboys fan

 

[Dirty Bird]

True, I'm here in September

 

[Exe Gesis]

You meant, "I'm still going in December."

 

[Big Red Machine]

I won't lie, I picked the Ravens at random for an online dynasty first year Madden had it.

As the season went on I fell in love.

Used to play FF for 12 years. Boring. Moved on. Favorite is now Armchair Endzone.

The league wants to expand past our shores (owners are greedy) and Australia would be a natural if not for that 7K miles of water in between us.

Only when in Vegas
