Tuesday Night Football

Date Sunday, September 30th 2007, 8:56 PM Icon Viewed 420 times Date Number of replies 2


Recently I've been trying to organize a weekly night out to play Madden.  My reasons were quite selfish.  I wanted to play people head-to-head without having anyone come to my house, and without having to feed anyone. 

I ran the idea by a friend that owns a bar and grill I frequent near where I work in downtown Raleigh, NC.  He was all for it, but he wanted to be sure there weren't any royalties.  I researched it a bit and got back to him with a 'no fee' message from EA.  A few weeks passed.  Then months.  I was thinking it wasn't gonna happen... 

Then one day, Jimmy says "Bring your stuff." 

Looking confused, I asked, "What stuff?"

"The Madden thing," he said.  "Just pick a day of the week and you can use a 52" screen."

The timing couldn't have been better.  Football season was about to kick off,  I was about to release my newest site layout at MaddenUniversity.com, and now I had a 52" screen to play Madden on any night of the week.  I chose Tuesday night because the bar is slowest. 

On September 11, 2007 at 7PM, we fired up the PS3 for the first game.  I played against my best friend in front of a room full of strangers.  Nothing went my way.  My first 1st down came in the 2nd half after converting a 4th and 3, but even then I lost a fumble.  Fumbled punts, poor pass protection...  You name it, it happened.  29-0.  Luckily, it was before any of the players started showing up.  In the second game I was able to exact some revenge with 2 consecutive 17-14 victories. 

I got off the sticks for a while so I could have a mushroom and swiss burger.  While a few other players got busy.  Heck, I even sprung for 3 orders of chicken wings for all the people that supported the event.  Later, after a few beers, I lost a squeaker to the Cowboys. 

This week will be the 4th week.  We are expecting a few more people to come eat, drink, and play (or watch) Madden.  I hope to improve on my 3 game win streak...  :D

Later
