With just a short time remaining before going to college, I decided to play the sixth year of my Madden franchise with the New Orleans Saints. I'll give you some backstory: I went 14-2 the previous year and lost the NFC Divisional Round to the Rams. They went on to Super Bowl XLI and lost to the Dolphins 35-15, which is as far from what really happened as you could get. This year, everything was going right for me. There were some injuries and a few close games, but I finished the regular season 16-0. In the NFC Divisional Round, I dominated the New York Giants 43-14. All that was standing in the way of a date with the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XLII was...the St. Louis Rams *cue Star Wars evil empire music* who were second-best in the NFC. I led 16-14 at halftime, but an unfortunate fumble led to a Rams touchdown. They failed on the 2-point conversion, so the score was 20-16. I marched down the field looking to score, but I was denied on 4th-and-goal at the 1. Eventually I would score, but a close call at the goal line took away my 2-point conversion. With less than 2 minutes to go, the score was 22-20, and I had to keep the Rams out of field goal range. Sadly, my pass defense cracked, and I gave up a 36-yard pass. With six seconds left, they kicked the winning field goal, and I walked away a 23-22 loser. The Rams went on to win the Super Bowl 41-18. *Sigh* Well, I'll be going to college on Thursday so I won't be playing many video games for awhile. Thought I'd put this up for your reading pleasure.
