Mr. Nice! posted:Agreed it is great. If you haven't seen it: This is p. great. I thank Madden for helping me semi-intelligent conversations about football since the early 90s. It's actually fairly important for someone growing up in the South to not sound like a complete moron when people start talking about football and I probably wouldn't have learned a drat thing before college without Madden football.

I grew up watching football with my family and while I learned the basic rules and what not, it wasn't until John Madden came along that taught me actual strategy and blocking schemes and more advanced tactics of the game, and I thank him for that.

Yeah, he could play the early PC ones, and even the Genesis era. Then the PlayStation / N64 era came around and he stopped, because the controls had become too complicated. This is a man who had to be helped by Troy Aikman, of all people, to get to understand how to use his cell phone and send text messages.

During the season you can watch an NFL game three days a week and you have a pretty shot at watching your team. MLB? If was ever a game was on a regular network I don't remember seeing it.

If was ever a game was on a regular network I don't remember seeing it. Pretty much everything except the Fox national baseball games is now locked to the teams' own individual sports networks. Those dominoes started falling when the Yankees started the YES Network literally 20 years ago. Hell, even most of the playoffs are locked to cable, with a few exceptions that wind up on Fox or ABC and the World Series being on Fox. It amazes me how incredibly adept MLB is at complaining that they aren't getting enough traction in the average sports consumer's mind, and then they do poo poo like going all-in on the RSNs. It's the equivalent of pounding a nail into your foot with a hammer and screaming for all to see that you're being assaulted.

Basketball and hockey are usually relegated to the local RSNs with a few national games a week.
