If you don't want to read it, please feel free to not, but i need to unleash this anger before i punch my t.v. in a fit of rage.
[rant]WHY, OH WHY, does Bill Cowher suck so much ass at calling plays in Madden. You'd think that he'd learn from the other 31 coaches in the NFL, that when you are down, it is best not to call fucking run plays all the m.f.'ing time and use PASS PLAYS.
I'm a god forsaken wide receiver, with 94 speed and and the ability to burn defenders all the time, but according to motherfucking almight B.C. all i'm useful for is run blocking. For instance, on this one stupid ass touchdown drive that lasted all of 41 yards, he ran the ball 8 times, and passed once, which was one third down btw. And you know what else, even though it was a pass play, as soon as stupid ass ben got the ball he took off running and didn't even bother going through his progressions to see if anyone was open. The Steelers are now 3-7, having lost four straight, and the percentage we ran the ball in those four losses was like 65 percent. Not to mention big ben is acting like mike vick every time a pass play is called, half the time he won't even look at anyone, he'll just take off running.
In my latest loss, we were down by 10 at the start of the third quarter, and everytime we got the ball we'd run twice for like -3 yards then throw it on third down, only to get incomplete or ben would get sacked. He's averaged under 75 passing yards in the last four games too. In 10 games so far, i have 11 catches for 217 yards and 6 touchdowns. You wanna know why i got 6 touchdowns, was because everytime a pass play was called, I ran deep and beat the coverage to get the score.
And you know what the worst part is. After my latest loss i simply gave up, and decided that i would go and get a trade, even though it would make me look bad. So i go to my agent's office, lo and behold the stupid fucking trade deadline has already passed. Now i still have to go through 6 more games with this stupid fucking team before i can ask for a trade, since i can't ask to get released. [/end rant]
In the end, there's only one lesson that can be taken from my rant. If you are a wide receiver, and you get drafted by the Steelers, either immediately ask for a trade or announce your retirement. That is, unless you love run blocking.
