speaking of Madden curse..in the 360 version if you pick the Redskins as your favorite team you get a nice full photo wallpaper of none other than...Ladell Betts.

That's really odd... what do other teams have?

Seems strange they wouldn't go for one of the bigger name guys like Moss, Portis, Washington, Cooley, etc. But a 2nd string RB? Weird.

Thats what i'm saying. most of the other teams have their big stars as the wallpaper.

i dunno, someone at EA on the 360 team is totally ignorant of the Redskins because they can't play at home in whites at all, only in darks. even if you pick away. cowboys sure play in white at home tho...

Its kinda sad to see these pro athletes to travel so much but the days of franchise players like Ripken or R.Lewis who mean so much to the town and club they are cemented there forever seem to be gone. However, this is a business and even civilians face this day to day.

The Defense I know will appreciate it so they dont have to worry about that matchup later in the season against Atl. This move will keep the Offense on the field longer or may backfire and well score 80 yd TD on the first play giving the Defense no rest. Those guys Im sure may have formed a bond with Betts(assuming he's traded) but would rather have a trophy and ring over a couple year bond.

I hope Portis can understand the bigger picture here to get to the super bowl but he seems like the type of territorial player that this is going to be a problem for his ego. With Betts Portis knew who was the Boss, but TJ is a grown man also who was picked before him in the draft so I hope there isnt any Alpha male issues yet to unfold. Portis has to know he will be our #1 guy and co-face of the team for years, but nowdays players can have such hissy fits to want to up and leave. CP said earlier he wants to be done by the 3rd qtr laughing on the sideline. This move seems he may just get that often. Its a bad vibe of chemistry I am hoping will swing positive.

Do you guys think Duckett's arrival will disrupt or be a problem for Portis ????

Maybe, but not anytime soon.

You know what I say about how the other back-ups feel about it? Well prove that you can be the man! In that last preseason game I saw nothing that impressed me from our back-ups. And obviously the way these guys looked in practice didn't give the coaches a warm fuzzy. That game against the jets just simply sucked!
