EA ruined NASCAR racing by getting exclusive rights, now they're going
to do the same to football.  What kills me is that these corporations
(NASCAR, NFL, PGA, FIFA, ....) let this happen.  I know, it's all about
money, and obviously EA has enough to kill their competition, even if
they make an inferior product.

I'm done with EA.

I was already done with them.

Although, it was the NFL's idea to go exclusive with their license. EA just
happened to have the biggest bankroll. Just like with the Nascar exclusive
license, the person that gets screwed is the consumer. This consumer is
speaking with his wallet. They won't be getting a dime from me.

    Money makes the world go 'round - so much that people get quite giddy.

    And when the ***ers make money from this, they go out to the shops to
spend their money and find a bunch of worthless items all manufactered by
***en idiots just like themselves! :) What goes around....................

    Very few make it mean much to be human. The human race is extremely over
rated!

As a statement from someone who will kill any of their own childeren for
being ***, "The human race is extremely over rated!" is interesting.

I must admit, however, I was not aware that our species was up for any kind
of performance review. I missed that memo.

don't call "us" the human race, we're just one culture among many. A
*** culture to be sure, but surely not long-lived. (what's 10,000
years of taker culture compared two 2 *million* years of human
existence?) .

Cheers,

    The only sure thing is that the present bunch of human shit on this
planet clearly have many IQ overlaps with many other species!

Not being a member of your memo distributing cult, when's my date with

Read parts back when I was at my Church of England school.  Doesn't work for
me, I'm afraid.

The whole "love thy neighbour" bit is admirable but I think I'll stick with
being an atheist.

We're born, we live a life, we die then rot.

Happy travels - there's no eternity in paradise.  Live for now.

No, that's too young a title, I'm afraid. The bible was written when
things were already going to hell in a handbasket.

Read "Ishmael" by Dan Quinn.

  I'm sure they're heartbroken.

  And I guess you must have the current Nascar release two months ahead of
anyone else ?

Byron, I'd like to take this opportunity to unilaterally bestow upon you the
coveted John Simmons Humanitarian Award.

A strange but wonderful award, it looks like a cross between a Cup Car and a
Cruise Missile.  Use it wisely... ;-)

Since Madden is from EA, it does not matter.

A more serious matter is that Sony owns the Formula 1 rights and does not publish
for the PC. There are not much useful mods out for GP4, so PC owners have a tough
time.
