United States Defeats Australia 3-1

June 6, 2010
Some of you folks out there like to play video games. Many believe in silly Madden Curses (no worry, folks – Breesus is on the cover, not a Cleveland Football Brown). What people believe in most of all, though, is the validity of the rankings of players and teams. Why they do this, I do not know.
Gamespot has the breakdown of the NFL rankings based on Madden team score. As contrived as “power rankings”, to be sure – but this has artificial intelligence! The Browns moved up one point overall in their ranking from 2009, from a 69 overall score to a 70. THIS IS ABSOLUTE PROOF THAT THE BROWNS ARE BETTER WITH MIKE HOLMGREN IN THE FRONT OFFICE. The Browns are ranked 28th overall (haters gon’ hate), and fourth in the division.
Division ranks are as follows:
Baltimore 90
Cincinnati 86
Pittsburgh 84
Cleveland 70
Do with this information what you will. Like most sports knowledge, it like won’t get you chicks. But chicks – it surely will get you a dork.

Ok…i’m no math wizard here but how does 90, 84, 90, 86 average out to 79?
IF MADDEN SAYS IT THEN IT MUST BE TRUE. HOLGREN WILL LEAD US TO THE PROMISED LAND!!
@ 2 I think we had this same discussion last year…
there are more factors to a players rating than the 4 they list there
Yea, sadly Alex Mack’s kicking, kick return, passing accuracy, and punting are way down this year…
Alex Mack gets a 99 in morphing.
One other surprise? The Oakland Raiders–despite dumping all-time draft bust JaMarcus Russell and adding former Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell to the fold–remain at a 71 overall.
LOLWUT
79? WOW, playoffs here we come
