Michael Vick Is Leaving Philly, Flying On Over To The Jets In NY

Well, the second team Vick will play for after all the dog controversy is the NY Jets.  I'm sure he has special place in his heart for Philadelphia as do the Philly fans for him.  In my opinion, he had one really great year there and they supported him when it seemed no one else would after he served his time for the whole dog fighting thing.  I'm sure he's sad to leave, but things just weren't looking up for him in recent years.  I'm sure he can help the Jets do much better than Sanchez.  I've also been reading that a one Mr. DeSean Jackson may end up over there too.  It may actually be good for the Jets to get both those guys.  I can't see them really hurting the team at this point.  I'm sure things will be better in NY after that whole Tim Tebow mess.  Hopefully they actually let Vick quarterback and not have him sit on the bench his whole time there.

Flashback: Anyone Remember The Mutant League Football Game?

What's up folks?  I decided to add an extra topic to the blog which is "Sports Video Games"  I know, I know, the Madden series is probably considered the best sports video game brand of all time.  When ever they release a new one, it's an event.  It's important to remember that those games at one point were on consoles like the Sega Genesis and had humble beginnings.  When I say humble, I mean they didn't have an exclusive NFL contract or whatever it is they have now.  The same company that does the Madden games had another football game.  It was called Mutant League Football.  Are there any readers that remember it?  I don't know where it took place, but the sports teams in the Mutant League games had a roster full of monsters and violent plays.  Some plays would involve a rigged football that exploded during a fake fumble.  Other plays involved  tackles that would dismember players if my memory serves correct.  Basically it felt like whoever played the dirtiest and was more tricky won.

Anyways if anyone out there has access to a Sega Genesis and likes football, look it up and see what I am talking about.  I wonder if the game has aged well.  I'll have to check out some videos on youtube or something to dig up the nostalgia.  I think the Mutant League games had one other sport video game title to it's name, but I'll leave that one for another post.
