Au revoir

Goodbye to football. I felt the Super Bowl – with its see-saw scoring, big plays, and nail-biting ending – was a great way to finish another exciting football season. To add to the excitement, our household routed for different teams. The wife routed for Philly, I routed for the Patriots and Bean routed for more commercials.
No more football until August. The absence of highlights and blocking schematics must be the secret ingredient that makes draft day so exciting. Well, at the first couple of rounds. Really, there is only so much drafting that I (and the wife’s tolerance) can take.
Fortunately, the 2005 football season will live forever, thanks to Madden NFL 2005. Over the weekend I figured out enough of the game’s controls to orchestrate a respectable showing on the digital gridiron.
