Baseball has better opening days and All-Star Games than the N.F.L. does. Ours stink.
If you play the video game, you become more interested and you want to know more about it. You want to read as much about it as you can, see it live and watch as many games as you can. If you're the type who wants to be as involved as you can in the sport, you're probably going to want to play 'Madden NFL.'
I just worry about overexposure. No matter how much you wanted to watch the NFL, there were no more games between Monday night and the next Sunday.

They're on the right road, but there's a long way to go on concussions, not only in the NFL, but college football, high school football and all football.
When I got out of coaching, I had taught a class at the University of California, an extension class on football for fans. I was looking for tools. I was showing them films. I was going to write a textbook. Trip Hawkins came to me about making it a game for computers.
