Cowboys(-2.5)to Panthers-at some point,I'm gonna write a 10,000 word screed running Madden 24 coins through all the ways the Cowboys have caused me to go insane over the last decade and,for now I'm glad that I was on a plane for this Ravens match last weekend.This might have been the final one for me this year.
Redskins(+6.5)on the road against Giants--Osi Umenyora has been getting somewhat sarcastic at all the Bob Griffin praise this week but Jason Pierre-Paul's not making it sound so cool.(via New York Daily News):
"Don't bring it to me.Take the opposite route.I guarantee you that we always chase quarterbacks.We turn around and chase the ball no matter what.He may get past us and speed right through us,but trust me when I say we're in the same place....You'd be amazed.Surprised indeed."
It's been a hectic two weeks.The impending Super Bowl and the events of Media Day on Tuesday dominating media attention,and culminating with Super Bowl 49 on Sunday.There's a final major event before kickoff,however it's the Madden NFL 24 Honors show on Saturday night,when the annual prizes will be presented to the top players in the league.In addition,the Madden NFL 24 Honors show will also be the time when it is the time for the announcement of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015 will be announced.
The finalist pool for this year's contest was narrowed to 15 in early January,down from a total of 26 people from earlier in November 2014.On the list are St.Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner,former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis,safety John Lynch,and coaches Don Coryell,Tony Dungy and Jimmy Johnson.
It's a strong pool,as usual and it's already seen several big names removed out of it.Some players who didn't qualify in their debut year are Isaac Bruce,Torry Holt and Edgerrin James.
The complete list of finalist comprises Warner,Davis,Lynch,Orlando Pace,Junior Seau,Morten Andersen,Jerome Bettis,Tim Brown,Kevin Greene,Charles Haley,Marvin Harrison,Will Shields,coaches Coryell,Duny and Johnson,and the contributors Bill Polian and Ron Wolf.Mick Tingelhoff is the lone senior finalist.
Pace,Warner and Seau are the most notable among the finalist players.Warner led the Rams to a Super Bowl win,and later was able to lead them and the Arizona Cardinals to another in defeat.Pace secured Warner's blind side while in St.Louis,and Seau had eight All Pro selections,and was named the 1992 defensive cheap mut 24 coins player of the year.
