Sparano sacked by the Dolphins, also confirmed DeMarco Murray has a broken ankle. Feel bad for the guy

Not suprised Sparano/Haley have been sacked.

Miami could be in an excellent position in a year or two if they can pick up a top coach and draft a QB plus a few other pieces here and there. I'm not sure if they are out of the draft range for him, but they should take RG3. I'm a big fan of his and think he will ultimately be on a level with Luck in terms of how people value the QB's from this draft.

I haven't switched my PS3 on in months and I sold all my games so I could go to the pub on my birthday! I better check if it still works and hoover the dust off

Don't expect me to be the Patriots, I somehow doubt our secondary will be any better on Madden

The Patriots are horrible to use on Madden and isn't just the D, EA still go with the thinking a fast team is a good team when you have the ball so the likes of Welker aren't as good as they should be.

The last few times I've played online its been the Steelers but I stick to UT.

That team is awesome there's Brady, Barry Sanders, Fitzgerald, Maclin, Austin and Gronkowski then on the other side of the ball I have double Demarcus Ware

You having a giraffe? Madden have nerfed the hell out of speed on Madden 12. Fat d-linemen can catch up to speed backs. Welker is ridonkolous on Madden 12, catches anything thrown within an acre of him.

Welker might catch everything that gets near him but the likes of Jacoby Ford in the slot do a lot more damage, or that might be just the way I play the game.

And the fact that without some tinkering Welker is stuck on a teams #1 corner running the crap routes that he doesn't run too often in real life

The Steelers with the Patriots offensive playbook are really good though with Wallace, Sanders & Miller, the Ravens probably will be now too because Smith will have got a ratings boost so can tear up the field leaving the underneath stuff open for Boldin.

When was the last time I ever said anything positive about the Bucs?

I was positive last season about them because, lets face it, we had a very good year after being 3-13 the year before. In preseason this year I never said they were going to be great. I watched the games and commented on who had played well and what was done well. This somehow was seen as me saying we were brilliant. I never said we were awesome, in fact IIRC I had us at the 9 win mark. After the Pack game I still thought it was possible but we have just collapsed since then losing to 3 very poor teams. We are 5th worse in the league for good reason. Mainly because our inability to tackle anyone in the open field.


Anyway, as for your question about whether we will beat the Cowboys? Not if we turn the ball over 6 or 7 times again. Also Ray Jay will have about 30k Cowboys fans there too. Should be a strange atmosphere.
