TGN is back with their latest editorial today from their ongoing series From the Editors' Desks. This second editorial from staff member Stu tackles (no pun intended) the reasoning behind why consumers continue to purchase the annual release of Madden Football, and if you do, you may be a sheep. Check it out:
"Ah -- summer is coming to an apex, and just over the horizon the lines are forming for an eagerly awaited rite of passage into fall... the release of the annual Madden game. For years, people line the streets and stores for the release of a game that by all rights, is a step away from DLC you could get for 800 MS points on the Xbox Marketplace. So I thought - what is it that convinces so many that this game is worth your hard-earned $60 every year? The answer I thought up was; roster updates?"

Never mind his Super Bowl victory as coach of the Raiders; never mind the dominance of his branded football video game; never mind his outsized mannerisms (could Frank Caliendo have launched a career, however low its arc, impersonating Phil Simms?). For me the measure of John Madden is much simpler: He helped make Sunday the new Monday.

This is the time of year where legends are made. It's the time where dreams are fulfilled and nightmares are created. This is when the true-grit of an NFL team becomes more important than their overall talent, where fans of any of those teams still playing get their fair share of inside information, and where almost every sports story is surrounding an angle on a playoff matchup...or not...This is the time of year where legends are made.

For the first time since he began calling games as a color analyst for CBS Sports full-time in 1980, Madden, now 72, and working games for NBC on Sunday nights, will not be in action for an NFL regular season game, a remarkable run the network said is now at 476 games.
Iron Man Madden has never missed a regular season week in an NFL football booth in 28 years. Not for illness, not for wedding anniversaries or big birthdays, not even for flat tires or mechanical breakdowns on his "Madden Cruiser" in the middle of Nebraska on its cross country trek to the Meadowlands in New Jersey.
It wasn't exactly Madden's idea to take a deep breath and a day off this weekend, but when NBC Sports Chairman Dick Ebersol first broached the possibility with him last spring, Madden said he'd have to think about it. Ten days ago, he spoke with Ebersol again and told him it might not be a bad idea.
"I wasn't reluctant as much as I was 'let's wait and see how it goes,'" Madden said in a telephone interview Monday. "Last year we had a couple of tough (trips). I still enjoy the travel, but you'd like to be home once in a while. I've got five grandchildren. It's a quality of life issue.
The 49ers and the Raiders not being good also has hurt, because you never get a home game. Even when L.A. had a team, I'd get to be home. When you see the grand kids, it's like they've grown two feet. So I'd like to check in once awhile, and this is a good chance to do that."
