I do want to say something about this though - I would never give up on the Eagles, nor will I be a supporter of another team. Even if they were really bad, I'd want them to succeed, even if they had to make changes. I would not hop on any bandwagon.

The same goes for me and the Phins. I'll never give up on 'em.

I've been a Rams fan since I was in second grade, and they've been absolute shit this whole time. That hasn't stopped me from proudly wearing my jersey, from Warner and Faulk to Jackson and Bradford, around school and in public.

The San Fran Giants were pretty meh for the better part of last decade, and I still cheered them on. Now I'm being rewarded for sticking with them by a 2010 ring and hopefully a 2012 one too.

I cheer for Liverpool in the Premier League, which hasn't been too rewarding for me of late (in a Eagles-y sort of way, maybe, because of moderate success but mediocrity of late).

My list goes on and on, man, but the point remains for me: I don't let my frustration get the best of me and make me want to switch teams, even if the Rams go a full season with only 1 win. You talk about your team being dysfunctional? My team sometimes took 3 (or more) seasons to get to what the Eagles got in 1 in terms of wins. The only time we've sniffed the playoffs recently was '10, and we got rejected by Clipboard Jesus and finished 7-9. Yeah, we would have been 8-8 and in playoffs.

This is the same for all fans and their teams. There will always be good times and bad times. Quitting on your team is just saying " I only like em when there good, but when they stink I just hop the bandwaghon for another team.

You obviously haven't heard of fair-weather fans and bandwagoning. Unless you had the implication in your post that "all fans" doesn't include them, but I'm not sure you meant that.

After another Madden 13 tournament, I'm 5-0.

We did random teams again, and I got the Steelers, and beat the Vikings and Raiders.

Was it just against computer, or against your friends?

Also, has anybody ever had trouble with JPPY '11 taking a long time to load? What I mean is, like, after you enter your success player info, it says "now loading."

Against some friends.

For some reason, I just suck at '13. I've always been decent at Madden but I'm still having trouble winning on Pro. The game is definitely tougher this year - I first noticed it in the demo. At least it gives a good challenge, but sometimes it just feels like the CPU cheats me.
I'm 2-3 in Franchise with 1 simmed win.

Anyway, it's all but confirmed we're off from school tomorrow because of the storm.

BTW, what software update is required for Madden 12, Madden 13, and NCAA Football 13?

Anthony: The latest one, afaik

Further reasoning behind Eagles' suckiness: LeSean McCoy has less than 20 touches per game (I think). No wonder the Atomic Pickles are 3-4, if their star RB gets 15-20 touches and their kicker is on...the Rams (no offense s-jax, Pats have a good D, but still...only 7 points?)

FYI, friends told me to get Zuerlein, Ballard, start Wayne, cut Ridley, not start Miller...so my future 3-5 FFL record is their fault.
