The Holtonian

Madden 2002 History is made

Tuesday night a spectacular festivus miracle happened: I beat Roe in Madden 2002. He was the lauded Philadelphia Eagles, with a strong defense and a young Donovan Mcnabb looking to prove he was no slouch. I was the Pittsburgh Stealers, strong in defense and with a somewhat easily confused Kordell Stewart at quarterback. It was a rough first half for Holton's Steelers. A ineffective first drive, Roe scoring on his first drive, then returning a kick off for a touch down, it was not looking good. But Kordell and Holton stuck together. They were only down 16 to 10 at the half. Thanks in part to some key interceptions I was able to pull off the upset and beat roe 26 to 16. It was a glorious moment in football history.

I found the reason I won: hit the open man when throwing, stuck with the running game (get on the Bus), and a few key interceptions thanks to wisely chosen defensive plays.... that and some clock management.

Well wifey's gift finally arrived, unfortunately it had the store name on the envelop and i ordered it wrapped... and it didn't come wrapped, so I'm pretty ticked because now I have to wrap it and I hate wrapping. So I'm going to have to go take care of that.
