Wow. The Patriots fucking suck. lmao. The Steelers aren't doing good either. WTF? Great update though Woy. ;)

Haha you got to remember though that this is the 2004 season, so not all the same teams now were good back then. And I'm guessing you're a Steelers fan?

I'll throw something together before I leave for my last full day of school.

ARIZONA CARDINALS MID-SEASON REVIEW

GLENDALE, AZ (AP)- At the beginning of the season, analysts called this Cardinals team the worst team in football and would be lucky to win 4 games. They said that they have some nice young players, like receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. Then they noticed a young, confident newcomer taking snaps under center. And as Boldin tells us, he's the reason behind the Cardinals success so far.

"He's really added a whole new confidence to this team," Boldin explains. "Last year we didn't have much confidence in each other, and that's why we were bad. Drew (Henson) has us believing with his ability that we can do something this year."

Drew Henson. Does that name ring a bell? If you're a die-hard Yankees or University of Michigan fan, then it should. Henson was the next big thing in New York, as he was the club's top prospect at third base. However, he struggled throughout his minor league career and when New York acquired All-Star shortstop Alex Rodriguez this winter and had the intentions of moving him to third base, Henson knew his time was up in the Big Apple. This was also the same guy who beat out Tom Brady at Michigan for the starting quarterback job. So how does he end leading the best team in the NFC? Perservance.

"There were many times I could have thrown in the towel and gave up," says the star rookie. "But that's not me. Once I was noticed that the baseball thing wasn't working out, I called some NFL teams and asked them about having me out for a workout. I knew I could still throw the ball and was hoping some team would give me a chance. Houston ended up drafting me but then they traded me to Dallas. I was stuck behind three quarterbacks and didn't know if I'd ever get to play, but Coach Dennis Green saw in the tapes I sent every team something that he liked and got on the phone. I've been very thankful for this opportunity."

Henson has torn up opposing defenses this season. He ranks eighth in the NFL in quarterback rating (94.9), first in passing yards (1973), and seventh in touchdown passes (15). He also his third in the league in interceptions (10), but that should be expected from a player who hasn't been in the league. When asked about how the rest of the season would shake out, Henson answered. "I'm not sure yet. One thing I learned playing this year is that you take one game at a time and don't look too far into the future. Any team could beat any team on any given day, so you don't underestimate anyone. I'm just happy to get another opportunity to play the game I love and I'm enjoying the success we're having."

Nice mid-season review Woy. :applause: And yea, I kinda am a Steelers fan. ;)

Thanks. Are you a fan of all Pittsburgh teams then? Cause the Pens are the only PA team I like, haha. Tennessee Titans are my team in the NFL.

Thanks Mitch. And not to burst your bubble, but it doesn't get much better for your Bolts this season. :beatup:

Kinda sorta. I mainly like hockey. But I don't want to like a team from a different state for every sport. You know what I mean? For example, I'm a Penguins fan, Patriots fan, Lakers fan, and Yankees fan. Get what I'm saying?

Anyways. The Penguins play tomorrow. I can't wait.

Yeah I understand. Can't wait for the game either, I called Pens in 7.

Do you have Madden 09 Woy?

Yes I do, but my 360 has the red rings, so that's basically the reason why I went with a throwback 'chise with 2K5.
