As of right now I am available any time from 2 pm to 10 pm Eastern Standard Time during that week (which if I read correctly is Saturday Aug 28 thru Saturday Sept 4th) and from 10 am to 10 pm on Sunday Aug 29th. The only exceptions are Thursday night (Sept 2nd)and possibly all day this coming Saturday (Aug 28th). I say possibly because depending on the weather I may be working all day Saturday (Aug 28th) on the set of a music video shoot that a friend of mine is currently trying to produce. If anything changes regarding my availability especially for this upcoming Saturday I will let you know as soon as I can.

Hey Tav, what game are you going to? Dude, love the hell outta Madden! I'm unbeatable when I play with the Titans! Chris Johnson is a bad motherfucker! I haven't played the mini-games yet, I usually do that after I play s season or two.

I'm going to the Saints vs. Panthers game on Nov 7th in Charlotte, my seat is in the upper part of the stadium on the southeast side so at least I should be able to see the whole field. As for Madden I've pretty much played all the game modes ( I usually start off with an exhibition game then mini games, followed by in recent years madden moments, franchise, and online......I have also been playing the AFL mode which was an add-on for Madden 10 and comes free with Madden 11) but I haven't finished playing franchise mode because I like to play it like they do in real life so I only play one franchise mode game a week. As for my teams I'm good with the Pats, Panthers, Saints, Packers, and Broncos though I primarily play as the Pats and the Panthers ( and yes from what I saw last year Chris Johnson is a bad motha). As for the mini games mode, some are easy ( passing drills/running back drills) and some are difficult (like the weight lifting mini game and the running mini game where you have to use both analog sticks and in the case of the weight lifting mini game you have to also rapidly tap the L2 button to rebuild stamina) my favorite drill is the catching drill where you play as a wide receiver and you have to run this route against a defender call for the ball when you are open,make the catch, then try to get past the defender. Also as a heads up with the mini games they are done as a team competition where you pick which team you are and then pick the team you want to go up against and then you will compete with the best players from your team against the best players on both offense and defense from the team. In each game the team with the most points wins that game and if I remember correctly the team with the most over all points after all the games have been played is the winner. As for the online part I've tried playing online, but I've been having problems ( I lost the connection 3 times( and was tagged with the DNF's) and the game froze on me 5 times in the choose your team menu. I did eventually manage to play 3 games, got my ass handed to me in the first game by two td's (where I played as the Pats...my offense was good but my defense sucked so badly that couldn't stop the other team not even on 4th and 12), lost by 1 point in the second game ( I was playing as the Panthers and the only reason I lost is because I failed to get a two point conversion), and in the third game I was crushing the guy by two td's and a field goal (playing as Da Saints) in the third quarter when he decided to leave the game). I have also played the Ultimate team mode which was sort of interesting at first, but after playing it for a while I got bored with it.

It'll be a blast! I've only been to two NFL games, and the last one was last year in the new Cowboy stadium. That place is HUGE!! I only live about 20mins from there so I pass by it all the time. When I get a new Madden I always set up the Franchise mode, adjust the AI to all the way full, pick my team and do the whole fantasy draft thing. I love it! I usually play on all-pro mode, the madden mode is two hard and I usually lose badly. I also make my quarters shorter too. Besides the Titans, I like to play as the Giants, the Bears, and sometimes the Texans. ANdre Johnson is a TD machine, but their defense is kinda shitty. The Jets have a good defense on there though. How many seasons have you played fantasy football?

Danny I am +6 hours to EST. I have no pro getting up in the middle of the night to do it but during the week I have to be at work at 11 PM EST. I will try to be very flexible to help out. Are we doing a snake draft? How do we determine the draft order? I am really looking forward to it.

I hope so.....the stadium here in North Carolina I've only been up close to it three times in the 13 years I've lived in the state.....As for Madden I'll usually leave it at the default settings (Pro, 5 min quarters)unless I decide that I want to play a exhibition game set to the NFL regular 15 minute quarters and then I will bump the AI difficulty up to all madden ( at the All Pro setting with that amount of time I at first struggle but by the third quarter I start destroying the AI....now if it were the Madden default setting of 5 minute quarters at All Pro that would be a different story). I've only played two consecutive seasons of Fantasy Football and this would be my third non consecutive/overall season and so far I am 1-1 ( I sucked my first season ending with a losing record but I turned it around my second season and become the league champ. After that I stopped playing because everyone I knew didn't want to start a league with me at the time). Oh and heads up it looks like I will be available on Saturday from 10 am to 10 pm.

I went to a few Falcons games years ago as a kid but only to Panthers games since they've been around. Haven't been in a few seasons, hope to make it back this year.
