Chicago – I don’t know if “Madden 25” wanted to slap me in the face each time I loaded a game, but it did, and my cheeks are still red. Practically every load screen in the game features some tidbit of “Madden” history, things like “Madden was the first football game to feature 11 players on both sides of the ball” and “Madden 2006 featured the now infamous vision cone”. Which, in theory, is cool - I’m a gaming enthusiast who’s bought this game every year since 2003, sometimes twice depending on the platform, and the chance to relive the memories of “Madden”s gone-by is a welcome experience. Until you think about it. For all the features these loading screens tout, few remain. I lament the loss of my precious “Weapons” system, Madden Iq, surprise onside kicks, and, yeah, even that bastard yellow vision cone.

Jerome Harrison, a running back for the Detroit Lions, was poised to be traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for running back Ronnie Brown and a pick in the 2013 NFL draft. All that stood in the way was the physical that is usually conducted prior to a trade. But the trade was voided after what was initially reported as "previously undisclosed health issues."
Espn's Adam Schefter reports that two league sources tell him the health issues are actually a brain tumor that was revealed during Harrison's physical. Without the trade being made, no physical would've been conducted - so it may have saved Harrison's life.
The sources also tell Schefter the tumor is now being treated and while Harrison is not expected to play again in the 2011 season, his long-term prognosis for life and even for playing professional football again appear to be positive.

He wasn't on the field during the final play of the game (which saw Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown scamper into the endzone for a touchdown), but superstar singer Marc Anthony certainly gave his team a boost last night at Miami's Landshark Stadium. The Dolphins beat the New York Jets 31-27 following a star-studded "orange carpet" that welcomed Anthony (who is part owner of the team) and his wife Jennifer Lopez (or was it Lola?). The event also welcomed Gloria Estefan (another minority owner), former Dolphins coach Don Shula and supermodel Naomi Campbell. Last night's game opened with Anthony's rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which no doubt inspired the Dolphins (who are hobbled by an injury to their quarterback Chad Pennington) to overcome one of the strongest defenses in football.
Anthony's ownership in the Dolphins is part of an initiative by the team to bring in celebrity investors.
