You know, the greatest sports videogame I've ever played was ESPN NFL 2005. Man, that was fun! Completely and totally put any Madden version to total shame. I wore that game OUT. And at only $20, it was a sweet bargain.
I figured that ESPN NFL 2006 would be bigger and even better. I was extremely astonished, disappointed and catatonic when I learned that the NFL had granted EA Sports exclusive rights.
This meant no ESPN NFL 2006. Unless I wanted to play as an offensive guard named Stinky Thundercleats for the Indiana Flatulent Explosion. After pancaking you he'd further humiliate you by taking his cleat off and sticking it in your helmet.
Dirty, dirty player.
And honestly, my kinda guy.
Licensing means that I can't drink Dr. Pepper during the Olympics (thanks a lot, Coke), eat at Taco Bell during the Olympics (thanks a lot, McDonald's) or wear my Puma tracksuit during NFL broadcasts (thanks a lot, Reebok).
It also means I have to eat nasty JTM hamburgers during a Reds game. And drive a Buick if I watch Tiger play golf.
It's out of control.
Thankfully, I've learned my lesson. I exchanged my Sharp Aquos for a TV that doesn't discriminate.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm hungry. I think I'll stop at Denny's...
