Sophomore year I met ZFarls who not only happened to live down the hall from sgibs that year, but he played on the club lacrosse team on campus. Sgibs and I lived in the same apartment junior year of college and zfarls moved in with us for our senior year.

It happened at the hands of ZFARLS because you are AWFUL at NHL. When you took a 3-0 series lead I told you we would still win because you CHOKE.

When we stood with the cup and a 4-3 red soxian comeback I laughed. Then we demolished you again in a quick 4-2 series. Your garbage.

Also when I lived on the cape in chatham, I was right near the house from summer catch it was so sick. Caught a ton of Cape Cod league ball games.

Good luck and keep dominating that EAFL, cant wait for Madden 10.

That pool scene in it is amazing

yeah im going to the cape this weekend with my girlfriend for her friends birthday that lives down there... i'm hoping to be able to attend a cape cod league game, if only for a couple innings b/c i've never been to one before. its one of, if not, the best amateur leagues in North America.

will i actually be able to get to one of these games this weekend? probably not, but hell, stay tuned to find out! haha

hey fellas,
This is my first time posting here. GT is PDX92BRUIN on 360. I've previously posted over on VG and I recognize a couple of names here from there.

So judging from the posts above I am BY FAR the oldest person here, being 40! (Holy @#%!, really??!!) Wife, 2 kids, and a real job. sigh. Only started playing Madden in 09.

BRUIN refers to Ucla, not hockey. PDX = Portland, Oregon.

Favorite team = Steelers but I've been playing mostly as the Raiders. Haven't decided who I'll use in '10 yet.

FR me if you're looking for someone to play or lab with late as I'm usually on after 11 pst.

Great to have you on with us PDX! We aren't Ageist one way or the other on here. I'm gonna be transitioning back to Madden on here soon and will hit you up.

If you wanna get knocked out in UFC or NHL 10 then send it over and prepare to get dominated. JK but im pretty solid.

Anyway, Sgibs and I just got real jobs and lets just say they aren't all they are cracked up to be. We have the plays though and the psychology and strategy here to get your madden game to a solid level. (Atleast you will be able to crush your kids)

Cheers and thanks for joining us.
