Travis Beckum Didn’t Get the Madden Memo

by 210w ago

A few days ago I posted an article about how Travis Beckum tied Reggie Nelson for the biggest rating drop among all players in the new Madden 2011. Beckum obviously didn’t get the memo, and talks about how much he wants to improve in a new interview with the Newark Star-Ledger.

First off, Vikings will be Superbowl Champs this year. Secondly, I don’t care about TO or Ocho-crapo as a duo or the Eagles thinking that their P90x workouts will take them to the superbowl this year. As for Travis Beckum and the “Madden Video Game Rankings”, what a bunch of “ochocinco.” Beckum has the speed and agility to give the Giants a competitive advantage this year. While scheme is important for a team, one also needs to diversity to capitalize on opportunities. Madden rankings are consistently wrong and have the accuracy of a monkey throwing fecal matter at a blind target. Just look at what they said about A.P. his rookie year. How about we talk about the Madden Curse of the player selected for the cover? I wish they would put Joe Buck on the cover and take us all out of our misery. That guy sucks, fact.

  Haha, Good one.
  
  Although don’t fault Buck for aligning himself with the broadcast school of “this is a visual medium”, especially when a big play is happening.
  
  Arguably the biggest play of the season last year, listen to Buck’s play by play:

  We can always listen to the radio calls after the fact…
