Barry Sanders is on the cover of Madden 25. That is back to back years that the Detroit Lions have the cover spot. Last year Calvin Johnson made all of the idiots who believe in the Madden Curse look even more stupid then they already are when he broke the single season receiving yards record. Now the greatest running back of all time is gracing the cover. The state of Michigan also has the NCAA 14 cover with U of M's Denard Robinson as the cover man.

Since we don't know each other this is nothing more than an E bet. If you win you get to change my name and avatar for a month (double if you take both bets) and I get to do the same to you. If you decide to take both and we split no one wins

I'm disappointed that AP didn't get the cover. Sanders already got the spot back in 2000.

As a bears fan I have to admit that AP is a beast. I don't want him hurt though, I like competition just as much as the next guy. Playing against a guy like that in the regular season helps us a lot in the playoffs. Speaking of playoffs lets fucking get back there
One thing I can say, Jay Cutler will finally have some protection next season after the acquisition of Jermon Bushrod and more importantly, Chicago signing Aaron Kromer as their offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. Kromer has BY FAR been the best OL coach in the league for the past 4 years.
I've felt like the lack of protection for Jay has been the main thing holding Chicago back, and with that fixed next year, I see them winning the NFC North.

I don't know about winning the NFC north just yet, though I suppose it is entirely possible. Da Bears have definitely made some moves in the right direction for them going into 2013/14, but I think it's still largely a work in progress. The receiving corps is a little thin so while Cutler will probably have more time, finding a receiver that isn't double covered might be a little treacherous.
And I'm not saying that because Devin Hester is no longer playing wideout (because moving him back to a special teams only role is the smartest thing they've done in years), I'm saying that because receiver depth beyond Brandon Marshall and Earl Bennett is non-existent.

I've been telling people this since he got there. He throws the amount of picks that he does because he has no time to read his options. Hopefully we pick up some guys for the o-line as well as the d-line tonight. If we do that our new coach will look like he's a genius
Yessir. Heat + NHL Field.

To the surprise of no one, the New York Jets have released Tim Tebow. Enjoy Tebowmania, Canada.

One horribe QB down Failchise to go.

The chance Sanchez gets released is slim to none.
1. They need a QB that is capable of playing if Geno is not ready to start week 1 (don't even think about David Garrard, he's been out of football for 2 years). Sanchez is the only guy they have.
2. The cap hit is ridiculous if they cut him.

Garrard is perfectly capable (if inconsistant) to replace Failchise.

He missed all of 2011 and all of 2012 with back and knee injuries, and David Garrard issues (as in nobody wanted him because he's David Garrard). He got hurt during BOTH preseasons, had surgery, and got cut. Before that, he was a mediocre at best QB. Pretty much on Sanchez's level.
That's the guy you think can start if need be? Believe it or not Sanchez is perfectly capable of being the #2 guy in a competition. The guy that needs to be ready to start if need be needs to be actually able to play, which Garrard has proven unable to do.
This isn't about liking Sanchez. This is about having a QB on the roster that is capable of starting if Geno isn't ready. They have Geno Smith, Mark Sanchez, also-rands that are incapable of starting an NFL game (Matt Simms and Greg McElroy), and a washed-up never-really-was in Garrard.

You really think Falichise will be able to take over the team once Geno gets injured? Seriously? Have you not watched the last 4 years? Lowest QBR in the game. Shaking my head

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
Sanchez is likely going to start the season for the Jets, Garrard was brought in as a veteran back-up nothing more, & Geno is going to need time to learn, Sanchez will likely start at least the first 4 games of the year.

Here's the thing: The Jets aren't going to be good this year no matter who is at QB for them. Let Sanchez get beaten up for most of the season while Geno holds the clipboard and learns the system.
