Using the new Palin rules, if you've ever watched football on TV, then you're qualified.

If you've ever seen an NFL game on TV, double bonus.

4. I know 2 people

9. All-Pro
The game is very predictable once you figure it out.

12. Avid Madden fan here
You can easily run up the score and do pretty much whatever you want on All-pro. I play at All-Madden myself but I got rid of all the latest versions. The QB vision was the dumbest addition ever, the timing to spot an open receiver and move the cursor leads to alot of sacks and you can't get rid of it on All-Madden. That's why I only play Madden 2005. It has the defensive hot routes and the playmaker options on offense. I also have NCAA Football 2005 and have been importing draft classes. It took me forever to put names on the athletes on the college game so I wouldn't have a bunch of WR #83's around the league. All madden is challenging but once you figure out what the money plays are you can succeed but the AI catches on if you continue to run the same money play over and over. Unless you have QB vision(I believe they got rid of the POS addition in Madden 09) I recommend bumping it up to All-Madden. More challenging and more fun imo.

11. Hell, that might just be enough for Al Davis.
All you have to do is say "yes, boss" enough times to stretch out getting paid up until he fires you.

Now that Millen's out of Detroit, the Raiders are easily the worst organization in football. And I'm a *Bengals* fan.

17. Is that the thing where they wear those colorful padded
outfits and hats with grills on them? And they have to run with that funny-shaped ball across a striped field and jump over a big yellow hurdle on the end?

I can do that!
