    Age: 50 ( yes really...seriously ) :o
    From: Longford but living in Dublin, long time, married with 2 daughters about the same age as you lot !
    Team: Jets. Followed them as they wore green when I first saw the game on Channel 4 in the early eighties.

    Favourite Madden Play: Tossing it up to Plaxico and watching his 6'5" pluck it from the sky for a TD.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Raoul


    Sorry Berty can't let this go, 50?? Really? I had no idea.

    And...... Favourite Madden Play: Tossing it up to Plaxico and watching his 6'5" pluck it from the sky for a TD.

    Very much :mad::mad: at this play after last night!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,587 ✭✭✭Berty44


    Yep the big 50. As the wife of one of my buddies in the UK said to him one night when she heard, could I not find something better to be doing at my age :pac:.

    I have always loved playing Madden, at my age it does not matter whether I win or lose, just have a bit of crack. In fact my favourite Boards opponent is probably Ben who beats me more often than I beat him. We always seem to have fantastic games and a great laugh when we play. My user stick skills are terrible but having played online for a few years all that helps. Any time I play DangerDave I am amazed at his ability with his user control of players.

    As for that play with Plax, its the only one where I actually switch to a receiver and user catch, great satisfaction in doing that.
