Redskins vs. Giants Preview: Madden Style

Hey all you TC admirers out there, it's the NFC Offensive Player of the Week here to give you a little preview of what might happen this weekend against my former Michigan roommate Amani Toomer and the New York Giants. It's amazing what love I've been getting on this blog and from the media just because the rest of the world has finally realized the power of TC that I've been preaching for the past year and a half on the blog. Looks like you loyal readers will have to move over since there are plenty of hop-a-longs on this TC bandwagon.

I figured that the most realistic predictor of what might happen was using Madden '08 for the PS3 to help me simulate the upcoming game against New York. Furthermore, I feel as though I can check out the defensive schemes the Giants might throw at me. TC, being both a scholar and an athlete, truly prides himself on extensive film study.

1st Quarter:

- The Giants come out of a large helmet, take the ball, and proceed to march 80 yards for a TD on the opening drive. The final blow was delivered on a 19 yard TD pass from Manning to Shockey. Yours truly answers back with a masterpiece that Bob Ross would be proud of. Three straight passing plays start off the drive, and a critical third down 22 yard rifle to Santana Moss puts us in range for a 2 yard Portis TD...7-7. A 10 yard strike to to Moss makes it 14-7 at the end of the first quarter.

2nd Quarter:

- Skins pouring it on. 28 yard TD by Clinton Portis. 24-20 at halftime, as the defenses are still out partying New York style.

3rd Quarter:

- This game is so intense that I had to put my helmet on while I sit here watching. 31-30 good guys headed to the 4th quarter

4th Quarter:

- TC to Cooley...again, 38-30. Ay-yi-yi, the Giants are making our defense look like we're playing the Pats and it's 38-36....eh, make that 44-38 after a Clinton fumble. Looks like its TC magic time in the 2 minute drill.

Wrap-Up:

- If there's anything that i've learned from this game, it's that Madden '08 is almost identical to the real thing. The realistic - TC puts up a 102.9 QB rating, 2 TDs, 0 INTs. The unrealistic - TC fails to complete a 2 minute drill resulting in a 44-38 Redskins loss.

To finish my preview, I would like to conclude that while TC had a big game, my teammates failed to pull their weight. Sorry folks, but there is only so much I can do. However, the interception-less streak will be alive and well and going on 11 years. Lastly, although we lost in the Madden '08 preview, I'd like to point out that the magic of my undefeated streak since 1997 will complete the drive and lead us to a 45-44 victory, most likely on a TC-sneak with no time left (as demonstrated above).

Well, I've studied the defense, drank a few pina coladas, burned some incense, listened to the Grateful Dead, eaten the entire 5-5-5 from Dominos and made myself a better QB in the process. Therefore, it's time I take off. Be sure to check out my live in-game updates from the sidelines this Sunday...

The Giants put up that many points? Riiiigggggghhhhhhhtttttt. Just make sure to put some freakin' zip on your throws when the G-men bring the heat against a battered / inexperienced O. Methodically anticipate check downs and breaks in the middle.

Awesome site dude, and here's to what could be an interesting season.

Peace, Natty.

I must admit, I didn't know you had a blog until you were player of the week and Bram and Larry were talking about your entertainment 'genius', but I believe in you.

I for one was glad to see you get promoted above Mark this year, not because Mark is lacking anything, but he had his Glory Days and opportunities already while poor TC had one mediocre year as a high draft pick on a bad team, and was somehow forgotten. You were definitely the best Collins drafted in 1995.

This week I'm looking forward to seeing you do what you do best...high completion percentage and low mistakes. I don't see you putting up 45 points this week, sorry. I do see you as a future QB coach and then offensive coordinator if you want the job, IN DC PLEASE, who will at least methodically break down the Giants between the 20s this week. Whether you win or lose will be based on whether we have 2 field goals and 4 TDs, or 1 TD and 5 FGs.

How about back to back offensive player of the week honors as you greet the job of starting QB in the 21st century?

Dude, the problem is that you used PS3 instead of 360. 360 has TC dominating!!!

TC...aka the funny man.

Dude, what an original blog. Seriously, considering how long ago you started this and have kept it going with what seeminginly seems to be written in a very Todd like voice makes it even better.

This season has been forgetable up until your (TC's) entrance onto the field last week.

Perhaps your 15 minutes is good until SB weekend and then for another 60 minutes.

I just purchased a Playstation 3 a couple of weeks ago. I got a couple of good games for it too. I wonder what good full games are worthy of downloading from the Playstation store?

PlayStation 3 I believe has a built in Blue-Ray Disk player I think.So what is the difference in between the two players basically?

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. A week ago I found this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Wii tournaments for money[/url]
They say you can play online Football game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
