POTUS Gets Cameo in Madden NFL 11

July 27, 2010

In the past it didn't really mean anything - beyond your own personal satisfaction hidden deep in your heart - to win the Super Bowl in Madden. But in Madden 2011 EA Sports has brought in the President of the United States to make the occasion more important, more exciting, than it ever has been before.

Whether you are madly in love with President Barrack Obama or still insist he is not a legitimate citizen of the United States of America, you have to admit that this is how a Super Bowl victory in a game should be treated. No? Then I guess you'd better watch the wall to your left because it's time for the Kool-Aid Man bust through and to top off your glass.

According to ESPN.com, Super Bowl winners will be treated to much celebration including team specific commentary by Gus Johnson, a lavish parade with cheering crowds and boisterous celebrations, and a trip to the White House where your star player will shake hands and present him with the team's jersey.

Sassy. For those of you about to go into a rage, a comment on ESPN.com sums things up nicely:

with everything going on in the country, how dare the president spend taxpayers money and waste time by fraternizing with football stars. I don't care if its not real, I'm angry and I'm going to type into my computer about it!!!

"a lavish parade with cheering crowds and boisterous celebrations"

Really shouldn't that be a "Saints Only" option?

(Yes, other teams have had parades, but can they really be described as "lavish"?)
