"Boat. Matt in 96 doesn't ship. At EA loses millions of dollars in development money, but they learn a valuable lesson game they made him go back to the drawing board, look at the technology, they had probably gotten a little lazy, reason the same engine. But that's the transition going to a new platform. You don't know what to expect. You don't know what you're going to be doing. And we really just didn't know what we were doing at the time. The missing year. That was a leap year, I think. That was a pretty brutal time for the man franchise, and I know some guys lost their jobs over that one. EA comes through the following year and releases Madden 97. They finally get the chance to go head to head with Sony on the PlayStation platform. Took a year to regroup, had tiburon do the code and do the game and the game was great. Increased competition, a missed year for the Madden franchise, and now they would go head to head on the PlayStation franchise. That year, Madden took over NFL game day and won out. The following year, though, game day was the preferred franchise by fans, and over the years there would be more competition, not just from NFL game day, but later Sega introduced a competitive title with NFL two K but really it's been maddened that over the years has really become the dominant franchise. Yeah, ranker dot com lists the top 11 football based video games available on PS4 today and of the 11 9 of them are just different iterations of Madden NFL football. And what's given it, it's staying power? Well, let's hear from the late John Madden himself. John Madden talked about how the game franchise evolved year after year in this segment from USA Today back in 2010 over a decade ago. So the game changes every year. So we have to change and adapt every year, which is a great thing about it because if the game stayed the same with the same players doing the same things, year after year, then you wouldn't need a new game every year. But you have to have to keep up with the game with all these people changing and we have to change with it. So in essence, we have a new or different game every year. You want to start where it's easy to start where anyone can play it, but no one can ever perfect. And that's always been our goal. Again, those comments were from over a decade ago, but they still ring true today. Let's take one more quick break and hear from our sponsors, but we'll be right back.

One of the many additions that was featured over the last 30 plus years ever since it first came out initially for the Apple two. Legendary football coach and broadcaster John Madden recently passed away. And this Madden NFL franchise is one of the many legacies that he leaves. People think of him as a Hall of Fame coach, a broadcaster, and a person, right? But you don't often hear about them talking about him as a product person. But honestly, it's essentially what he was. Yeah, you could certainly say that he was a product manager for EA before that was probably even a title they gave to anybody there. No, he didn't spend all of his time acting as de facto p.m. for the Madden franchise. But he was always speaking up to the realism of football that needed to be baked into the game. You called him a de facto product manager. And that's basically what he was, but did you know he was almost also the owner, owner of well, Electronic Arts actually, at least a part owner. After the release of the 1988 Apple two first edition Electronic Arts CEO trip Hawkins reportedly offered John Matt and the chance to buy into the company, he offered Madden the opportunity to buy as many shares as he wanted, in fact. And Madden didn't take him up on that. He did not. Of course, he was still compensated for his work, but according to ESPN, he told Hawkins, hell, I'm just a football coach. Madden said he pointed with his finger all knowing and said, I gave you my time. I'm not giving you my money. And so he didn't. Ten years later, EA stock has written ten X what it was in 1988 and Madden, unfortunately he didn't benefit. Of course, it's not as if Madden didn't benefit at all. That initial deal he signed with EA back in 1988. It was reportedly worth millions of dollars, which, back in 1988, that was a lot of money. I mean, heck even. Now millions of dollars a $1 million, right? And even more recently, it's reported that Madden made about 14 million each year from his work and the use of his name and likeness. All told, he's made about a 150 million from his work with EA, which is more than his Hall of Fame coaching and broadcasting career ever brought him combined. In more recent years, there's some criticism of the Madden franchise that each new addition only brings about incremental improvements and roster updates, no wholesale changes. But let's face it, it's almost so real now that I mean, what could you possibly dramatically improve? I don't know, maybe take it into the metaverse. Oh boy, here we go. Hey, there might be something to that anyway though. Regardless, Madden is still one of the best. If not the best sports franchise of all time, selling hundreds of millions of copies and adding billions of dollars in revenue. You have to wonder if John Madden ever thought it would be so successful, honestly. If he ever envisioned that he'd see his name and like this on so many different editions, playable on so many devices by honestly so many people. Sadly, we can't ask him today, but we can go back to the USA Today's segment and get his take back then on whether he envisioned all of that. Anyone that said that they did is a liar. Because no one knew what we were going to have these things. I mean, you know, you look at all the technology today when we started this thing over 20, 30 years ago. None of this stuff was there. So to say that, you know, I knew that someday we'd be on telephones. I didn't know everyone was gonna have a telephone. So I mean, the answer is that we just kind of grew with the technology that we were the first game and we developed as a computer game and then once these hardwares, different hardware started to come in, we had to software that we could adjust and adapt. Adjust and adapt, they did. And we have

"Really know him mostly perhaps totally as the face of the iconic NFL video game franchise, John Madden football. What do you make of how someone is old school is Madden became this sort of video game entrepreneur? Well, he was an entrepreneur at heart, and I think what makes the game great and Madden's contribution to it was he was a stickler for details. He could have had a video game sort of become just off the shelf. But every single year he wanted to do improves the game and he would bring software developers from EA to his home in California and literally go over how to improve the game. Now he didn't understand the software necessarily, but he would try and get them to make the game more realistic. So for instance, the offensive line, well, they don't score any points in these video games. But he wanted them to move just like offensive linemen do in real games. It didn't necessarily enhance the game other than aesthetics and make it more realistic. And he software engineers who didn't necessarily know football had to translate his vision for the game into X's and O's. And that really was the hallmark of it. It's precision. And it's realism. It's precision, it's realism. And it's all because John Madden was a product person. Think about it. As product people, John Madden did exactly what we do. He communicated what was important to the team of developers. He articulated the why. Those offensive linemen, they needed to move like offensive linemen because they were offensive life. That's how football worked. So that's how this football video game needed to work. Did he know how they'd be able to develop that? No, no, of course not. And let's face it oftentimes we don't necessarily know how the development team is going to develop what they're going to develop in any product. No, I mean, hey, hopefully we can all speak the same language, but even still, even not being able to talk deep tech with the team, it was important to John Madden that he communicated these small details, so at least they could understand the intricacies of football and they could get the game right. And many people actually point to that realism is a big differentiator that helped the game stand out even today. More on the evolution of the Madden NFL franchise after a short break.

Before the break we learned about legendary football coach and broadcaster John Madden, how he not only lent his name to one of the most prolific sports video game franchises ever, but how he actually became a bit of a product person in the process, sharing his knowledge and insights with the developers of the Electronic Arts studios, the company that most gamers associate with. EA Sports. It's in the game. That classic catch phrase. Anyway, Madden was a stickler for realism, which was pretty hard in the inaugural 1988 Apple two version of the game. But even still, things like the number of players on the field, the playbook that players got to choose from, all of that really mattered to him. And then just two years later, in 1990, big improvements were made. This time as a console game, specifically for the Sega genesis. Here's a segment from G four. In 19 90, Madden releases his first console game for the Sega genesis. And fans couldn't be happier. Even though it was in its barest, most infantile form, that still got everything that carry on and made the series great today. I mean, they came up with their interface, the way they handled passing, play calling, everything. I mean, you can look back on that basic game and it's all there. Over the course of the next decade or so, the Madden franchise improved by leaps and bounds. The gameplay became more realistic. There were even more features for players. But there was also more competition. It's not as if VA sports had an exclusive NFL license for the video game market. There were other NFL based video games, and when the introduction of the Sony PlayStation came to market, it meant that EA Sports had to step it up and create an even better game for an even more high-tech console. One that actually had some built in competition. Let's go back to that G four segment and dig in a bit more. In 1995, Sony computer entertainment introduces the PlayStation. A brand new console, eager to capitalize on this new hardware, EA goes to work. The developer visual concepts is hired to create the game, but the design team at EA is unhappy. Group out in California was working on it not tiburon. And it went on forever. Meanwhile, Sony begins work on their own football game. NFL game day. And here's Kelly flock former CEO of Sony entertainment in that same segment. EA Sports was very vulnerable to new platform because they hadn't made the commitment to PlayStation that we had for us. It was a PlayStation must win or we're all out of work. It was very simple. And for EA, a lot of people believe Sega Saturn was more likely to be a successful platform. Well, they were wrong. Game day gives Madden a run for its money. It offers a new look with new technology. That's exactly what gamers are looking for. Our first game day was a Sprite based really 3D environments with overweight characters as was mad. So we had the market to ourselves that first year and that really allowed us to establish a sports brand for us. You had to stay with, stay with the technology curve. Game day surpassed them, especially in the 3D stuff, Madden got caught with an old engine, tried to catch up and

If you're like me, this little 16 bit tune brings back some memories. Do you remember this one, Michael? Of course, this game was a classic. In fact, the franchise still lives on today. Yeah, we're talking about Madden football. A video game franchise that really was in the making since 1984 if you could believe that. Before console gaming was really even popularized. I mean, I think Nintendo wasn't even out in the United States back then, but it was in the dining car of an Amtrak train traveling from Denver, Colorado to Oakland, California in 1984, well, you could say that was when the Madden video game franchise was born. And today, we're going to bring you an episode on the incredible product journey of Madden NFL football. In part to honor the recent passing of American football legendary coach and broadcaster, and in a way, product person, John Madden, in this very special bonus episode of rocket ship FM. Welcome to rocket ship FM, rocket ship FM is produced in partnership with product collective. We are your hosts, Michael sokka, and I'm like belsito. John Madden was larger than life. And we could tell you who he was, but it's probably better if someone else did. Yeah, how about award winning sportscaster Joe buck in this episode of a football life back from 2017? Here's Joe buck. Okay, so there's this guy. And he's a big guy. He was an ex offensive lineman. Then he became a head coach in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders. He wore a lot of bad 70s clothes, and he was the head coach of this team. He was just a itchy in the mouth, crazy football team. And then he gets out and then the next thing you know, he's in these beer commercials and he's busting through walls and he becomes a broadcaster and he says boom and whap that he's drawn on a telestrator and he gets really loud and he gets really fast. That's the old body slam. You know like they do in wrestling. He rides around in a bus. He doesn't like being in a plane across the country going from town to town game to game city to city. People can get close enough to him, but he's kind of alone or he's a guy that likes his privacy, but on Sunday he will light up your television screen with words that aren't even words. Right there, that's a wham block. That's John Madden, and he's dearly missed in the game today. He's dearly missed in the game, and with his recent passing, he's dearly missed in this world already, but his legacy will definitely live on. It'll live on for so many reasons and so many different ways, but we're going to dig into one of the legacies that he leaves behind. Madden NFL football. The video game franchise. And this isn't just any video game franchise. It's one of the most successful sports game franchises of all time. According to the New York Post, the Madden games have equated to more than 4 billion in sales and have appeared on more than 30 different platforms. The kids just starting to play Madden today on platforms like PS4, PS5, Xbox, even on iPhone and Android devices, it's actually possible that their parents or even grandparents played Madden NFL football when they were about their age, which is kind of wild to think about. That is really wild, but what made Madden such a great coach and broadcaster translated very well to influencing video games. Here's one of Madden's broadcasting partners Al Michaels. As he talks about this a bit in a recent segment on NBC sports. But he was an artist in making the complicated simple. Making a complex game accessible, understandable, educational, and usually entertaining. Just cover up 18. The same can be said for his iconic video game. When the software people approach John about putting his name on their idea. And if the defense didn't just say yes, he dove in and over the years worked with him to make sure that game was as close to the real deal as possible. This is what the game of football is all about. The people could truly learn the game he loved as they played. To Madden, simply collecting a check for the rights to slap his name on the video game. That wasn't good enough. The game had to be more than that. It had to be realistic. It had to be instructive. But it almost didn't happen. Mike, remember that Amtrak ride I mentioned earlier. Yeah, that's where you said the NFL video game franchise was actually born, right? Yeah, that's true. But it's also on that very same train ride where similar to Madden's playing career, the video game franchise was almost over before it even started. On that ride, it was trip Hawkins, the founder of Electronic Arts game studio or EA, who pitched the idea of John Madden becoming the face of the new football video game EA was planning to release in the coming months. But because EA was producing games for computers that were rudimentary compared to today's standards, not like the PlayStations and xboxes were used to trip floated the idea of the game being 7 on 7, not 11 on 11, which how football is played on every Sunday. Yeah, and was there an issue with that? A big one, right? Madden just looked at him and said, but that's not football. Well, that is true. We see 22 players on the field every week, not 14. That's right. And trip Hawkins and his Electronic Arts studio, if they were going to make the video game as realistic as John Madden wanted to in order to lend his name to it, it's going to take a little bit more time. In fact, it was going to take a lot more time. Of course, they must have agreed, right? Because we all know the incredible rise of the Madden NFL franchise now. Yes, they ultimately did, of course, they actually may have felt like they had to. John Madden wasn't EA's first choice to be the face of their upcoming video game. They actually wanted legendary quarterback Joe Montana, but he already got a contract with Atari. Then they approached Cal football coach Joe Capp, but cap on a perpetual royalties and he actually turned EA down. So wait a minute. We might have been talking today about the cap NFL video game franchise. Maybe so, right? But of course, history didn't play out that way. And in 1988, they released the very first Madden NFL game for the Apple two computer actually. Obviously, the 1988 iteration looked a lot different from the ultra realistic, almost cinematic version that we see today. But it gave people what they wanted, which really didn't exist. And that was a more realistic version of an NFL based football game. And that realism, even if it was 1988 realism, it made a very big difference to John Madden. This game, it had to be real. I mean, the offensive lineman that had to move like offensive lineman, talking about this aspect of the game is NFL writer Ken belson on this NBC News segment. It's interesting looking back, there are just these distinctive chapters to his career. There was the coaching era then the broadcasting era, but there's a generation of fans who

Well, before I give you my teaser town bets, because we're going to teaser town in a few seconds. Of the games, before we get to the games, what do you know about games?

The butt fumble, I think. I'll explain later. The butt fumble. Mark Sanchez that was Thanksgiving. Barry Sanders had a year one year where he just went off, Tony Romo has had some good Thanksgiving. Hey, who's going to break out today? They are doing something in the NFL I wanted to point out that I thought was awesome. A lot of times people do things. Organizations or sports leagues and people love to be critics and immediately hate on things. I hate it. No one can hate this. Thanksgiving. Someone could probably hate this. Who's going to hate someone on social media? You can talk about but you guys are from off the east coast. They hate it already. You can talk about steak and butt cheeks and someone's gonna hate it. Yeah, that is true. I hate pizza. Really? There's always somebody. The Beatles stink. Like, they're someone that hates everything. If you invited, if you invited everyone to a dinner where you were serving delicious steaks and you were judging a bikini contest, someone would be like, no, thanks. Like what? No way, one? Yes. There's always going to be somebody. So I want to find the one dope that hates this. Today on Thanksgiving, the NFL is doing something great. They're honoring John Madden, who is so synonymous with Thanksgiving football. John Madden, his legacy lives. He passed away almost a year ago now. There will be a John Madden Thanksgiving logo on the 25 yard line of every home field today. And every player is going to have a little John Madden decal on their helmet. And there's going to be montages and little tributes on CBS Fox and NBC. Tough acting to connect and boom for every game lines bills, giants, cowboys, and

Jared Kushner: 'For President Trump, It's Very Frustrating to Watch'
"Just hearing you talk here, Jared, it just brings me back to feels like you're talking about 20 years ago. I mean, just that kind of tone of how you're talking and bringing back jobs to our country. It's so depressing to watch what's happening. I was going to ask you this question later, Jared, but I just would love it as it's kind of come to me now. I mean, you did all these success that your team Cassidy and president Trump and everyone, all this success, and just to kind of see what's happening now. I mean, what's your take on that? I mean, not talking about onshoring jobs and representing voters. It must be maddening to witness this over the last 18 months. You know, I think for president Trump, it's very, very frustrating to watch. You know, he did all this great work. He had the economy roaring and he had the world peaceful and he feels like it's such a shame. You know, the thing that I learned from being in Washington was I learned the nuance of a lot of these issues, right? There are a lot more complicated than people think. But after doing it for four years, fixing them was actually a lot easier than I would have thought four years earlier. So you look at all the deregulation we did to unleash American energy independence, right now we're going to Iran and Venezuela and begging them to pump more oil when, you know, if you have the Keystone pipeline, work, you'd have plenty of oil here in North America and stopped at the regulations. So I think that a lot of it's just common sense. I think the potential of our country is unbelievable. Maybe even greater than I thought global power is something that's more of a relative commodity than something that's absolute and America has the best private sector in the world. We have the best ingenuity. We have the best system for contracts and for rule of law, most of the time. And so our country is poised to really explode in a very positive way economically.

But not surprising at the same time. In D.C., Durham had no other place he probably had to bring it there. We kind of knew two weeks ago and there was three Clinton jurors. You had a juror from there was somehow related or new Susan's wife, you had all kinds of, I think, conflicts there. And look, Donald Trump got what 5% of the vote in Washington, D.C., it's tough to get any jury there and is corrupt as things are in this country now. Everything's political and including this. I mean, it was a pretty easy slam dunk case. I mean, there was a text message. He clearly lied and if you look at the things that many normal Americans go to jail for, this is one that was pretty easy.

Caller: Left Blames Guns Over People to Avoid Blaming Their Policies
"What's your best theory as to why the left always does this maddening rush to blame a gun rather than the bad guy? I got a pretty good theory, Mike. Good. Man. If they start blaming the actual people for what's going on, they're going to have to start holding themselves accountable for the things that they do. They're going to have to look in the mirror and they're going to, they're going to have to hold themselves accountable for all the crooked crap that the left does. These are blaming the inanimate object, so they don't have to focus on the actual person in what the person does. Maybe that's what it is. And there's also a theory Justin that I have that the left doesn't accept the presence of evil. You know? And if they don't think there's evil, they don't think people are evil that they're just misunderstood. They're misguided. They're confused. They wet the bed. Daddy was mean to them. Then there's no sense of accountability. I mean, you really almost need a psychiatrist. You need somebody who's skilled in understanding a thought process like that because it is a goofy thought process. Thanks, Justin

"The code and do the game and the game was great. Increased competition, a missed year for the mad franchise, and now they would go head to head on the PlayStation franchise. That year, Madden took over NFL game day and won out. The following year though, game day was the preferred franchise by fans and over the years there would be more competition, not just from NFL game day, but later Sega introduced a competitive title with NFL two K but really it's been maddened that over the years has really become the dominant franchise. Yeah, ranker dot com lists the top 11 football base video games available on PS4 today. And of the 11, 9 of them are just different iterations of mad and NFL football. And what's given it its staying power? Well, let's hear from the late John Madden himself. John mannan talked about how the game franchise evolved year after year in this segment from USA Today back in 2010 over a decade ago. So the game changes every year. So we have to change and adapt every year, which is a great thing about it because if the game stayed the same, with the same players doing the same things, year after year, then you wouldn't need a new game every year. But you have to have to keep up with the game with all these people changing and we have to change with it. So, in essence, we have a new or different game every year. You want to start where it's easy to start, where anyone can play it, but no one can ever perfect. And that's always been our goal. Again, those comments were from over a decade ago, but they still ring true today. Let's take one more quick break and hear from our sponsors, but we'll be right back.

You feeling me? I'm feeling it. Looks like the NFL has its game on. Madden. NFL 2003. It was in the game. It's in the game. Randy for everyone. That was an ad for Madden 2003. One of the many additions that was featured over the last 30 plus years ever since it first came out initially for the Apple two. Legendary football coach and broadcaster John Madden recently passed away. And this Madden NFL franchise is one of the many legacies that he leaves. People think of him as a Hall of Fame coach a broadcaster and a person. But you don't often hear about them talking about him as a product person. But honestly, it's essentially what he was. You could certainly say that he was a product manager for EA before that was probably even a title they gave to anybody there. And no, he didn't spend all of his time acting as de facto p.m. for the Madden franchise, but he was always speaking up to the realism of football that needed to be baked into the game. You know, you called him a de facto product manager. And that's basically what he was, but did you know he was almost also the owner? Owner of well, Electronic Arts actually, at least a part owner. After the release of the 1988 Apple two first edition, Electronic Arts CEO trip Hawkins reportedly offered John Matt and the chance to buy into the company, he offered Matt and the opportunity to buy as many shares as he wanted, in fact. And Madden didn't take him up on that. He did not. Of course, he was still compensated for his work, but according to ESPN, he told Hawkins, hell, I'm just a football coach. Ben said he pointed with his finger all knowing and said, I gave you my time. I'm not giving you my money. And so he didn't ten years later, EA stock has written ten X what it was in 1988. And Madden, unfortunately, he didn't benefit. Of course, it's not as if Madden didn't benefit at all. That initial deal he signed with EA back in 1988, it was reportedly worth millions of dollars, which back in 1988, that was a lot of money. I mean, heck, even now millions of dollars a $1 million. And even more recently, it's reported that Madden made about 14 million each year from his work and the use of his name and likeness. All told, he's made about a 150 million from his work with EA, which is more than his Hall of Fame coaching and broadcasting career ever brought him combined. In more recent years, there's some criticism of the Madden franchise that each new addition only brings about incremental improvements and roster updates. No wholesale changes. But let's face it, it's almost so real now that what could you possibly dramatically improve? I don't know, maybe take it into the metaverse. Oh boy, here we go. Hey, there might be something to that. Anyway, though, regardless, Madden is still one of the best, if not the best sports franchise of all time, selling hundreds of millions of copies and adding billions of dollars in revenue. You have to wonder if John Madden ever thought it would be so successful honestly. If you ever envision that he'd see his name in likeness on so many different editions, playable on so many devices by honestly so many people. Sadly, we can't ask him today, but we can go back to the USA Today segment and get his take back then on whether he envisioned all of that. Anyone that said that they did is a liar because no one knew we were going to have these things. You look at all the technology today, when we started this thing over 2030 years ago, none of this stuff was there. So to say that, you know, I knew that someday we'd be on telephones. Heck, I didn't know everyone was going to have a telephone. So the answer is we just kind of grew at the technology. We were the first game and we developed as a computer game. And then once these hardwares, different hardware started to come in, we had the software that we could adjust and adapt. Adjust and adapt, they did. And we have John Madden to thank for all of.

Before the break we learned about legendary football coach in broadcaster, John Madden, how he not only lent his name to one of the most prolific sports video game franchises ever, but how he actually became a bit of a product person in the process, sharing his knowledge and insights with the developers of the electronic art studios. The company that most gamers associate with. EA sport. It's in the game. That classic catch phrase. Anyway, Madden was a stickler for realism, which was pretty hard in the inaugural 1988 Apple two version of the game. But even still, things like the number of players on the field, the playbook that players got to choose from, all of that really mattered to him. And then just two years later, in 1990, big improvements were made. This time as a console game, specifically for the Sega genesis. Here's a segment from G four. In 1990, Madden releases his first console game for the Sega genesis. And fans couldn't be happier. Even though it was in its barest most infantile form, it's still got everything that cause carry on and made the series great today. I mean, they came up with their interface, the way they handled passing, play calling everything. I mean, you can look back on that basic game and it's all there. Over the course of the next decade or so, the Madden franchise improved by leaps and bounds. The gameplay became more realistic. There were even more features for players. But there was also more competition. It's not as if VA sports had an exclusive NFL license for the video game market. There were other NFL based video games. And when the introduction of the Sony PlayStation came to market, it meant that EA Sports had to step it up and create an even better game for an even more high-tech console. One that actually had some built in competition. Let's go back to that G four segment and dig in a bit more. In 1995, Sony computer entertainment introduces the PlayStation, a brand new console, eager to capitalize on this new hardware, EA goes to work. The developer visual concepts is hired to create the game, but the design team at EA is unhappy. Group out in California was working on it not Tehran. And it went on forever. Meanwhile, Sony begins work on their own football game. NFL game day. And here's Kelly flock former CEO of Sony entertainment in that same segment. EA Sports was very vulnerable in a new platform because they hadn't made a commitment to PlayStation that we had for us. It was PlayStation must win and we're all out of work. It was very simple. And for EA, a lot of people believe Sega Saturn was more likely to be a successful platform. Well, they were wrong. Game day gives Madden a run for its money. It offers a new look with new technology. That's exactly what gamers are looking for. Our first game day was a Sprite based really 3D environment so it would overlay tight characters as it was maddening. So we had the market to ourselves that first year. And that really allowed us to establish a sports brand for us. You had to stay with stay with the technology curve. Game day surpassed them, especially in the 3D stuff, Madden, got caught with an old engine, tried to catch up and miss the boat. Madden 96 doesn't ship, and EA loses millions of dollars in development money, but they learn a valuable lesson game they made him go back to the drawing board, look at the technology they had probably gotten a little lazy reason the same engine. But that's the transition going to a new platform. You don't know what to expect. You don't know what you're going to be doing. And we really just didn't know what we're doing at the time. The missing year, that was a leap year, I think. That was a pretty brutal time for the man franchise, and I know some guys lost their jobs over that one. EA comes through the following year and releases Madden 97. They finally get the chance to go head to head with Sony on the PlayStation platform. Took a year to regroup, had tiburon.

"Train traveling from Denver, Colorado to Oakland, California in 1984, well, you could say that was when the Madden video game franchise was born, and today we're going to bring in an episode on the incredible product journey of Madden NFL football. In part to honor the recent passing of American football legendary coach and broadcaster and in a way, product person, John Madden, in this very special bonus episode of rocketship FM. Welcome to rocket ship FM. Rocket ship FM is produced in partnership with product collective. We are your hosts, Michael soccer, and I'm Mike belsito. John Madden was larger than life. And we could tell you who he was, but it's probably better if someone else did. Yeah, how about award winning sportscaster Joe buck in this episode of a football life back from 2017? Here's Joe buck. Okay, so there's this guy. And he's a big guy. He was an ex offensive lineman. Then he became a head coach in the NFL for the open raiders. He wore a lot of bad 70s clothes and he was the head coach of this team. It was just a hitch in the mouth, crazy football team. And then he gets out and then the next thing you know, he's in these beer commercials and he's busting through walls and he becomes a broadcaster and he says boom and whap that he's drawn on a telestrator and he gets really loud, he gets really fast. You know like they do in wrestling. He rides around in a bus. He doesn't like being in a plane across the country, going from town to town, game to game city to city. People can't get close enough to him, but he's kind of a loner. He's a guy that likes his privacy, but on Sunday, he will light up your television screen with words and aren't even words. That's John Madden. And he's dearly missed in the game today. He's dearly missed in the game and with his recent passing, he's dearly missed in this world already, but his legacy will definitely live on. It'll live on for so many reasons and so many different ways, but we're going to dig into one of the legacies that he leaves behind. Madden, NFL football, the video game franchise. And this isn't just any video game franchise. It's one of the most successful sports game franchises of all time. According to the New York Post, the Madden games have equated to more than 4 billion in sales and have appeared on more than 30 different platforms. The kids just starting to play Madden today on platforms like PS4, PS5 Xbox, even on iPhone and Android devices. It's actually possible that their parents or even grandparents played Madden NFL football when they were about their age, which is kind of wild to think about. That is really wild. But what made Madden such a great coach and broadcaster translated very well to influencing video games. Here's one of Madden's broadcasting partners Al Michaels. As he talks about this a bit in a recent segment on NBC sports. But he was in artist in making the complicated simple. Making a complex game accessible, understandable, educational and usually entertaining. Same can be said for his iconic video game. When the software people approach John about putting his name on their idea. If the defense is he didn't just say yes, he dove in. And over the years worked with him to make sure that game was as close to the real deal as possible. This is what the game of football is all about. The people could truly learn the game he loved as they played how you doing. To Madden, simply collecting a check for the rights to slap his name on the video game. That wasn't good enough. The game had to be more than that. It had to be realistic. It had to be instructive. But it almost didn't happen. Remember that Amtrak ride I mentioned earlier? Yeah, that's where you said the NFL video game franchise was actually born, right? Yeah, that's true, but it's also on that very same train ride where similar to Madden's playing career, the video game franchise was almost over before it even started. On that ride, it was trip Hawkins, the founder of Electronic Arts game studio or EA who pitched the idea of John Madden becoming the face of the new football video game, EA was planning to release in the coming months. But because EA was producing games for computers that were rudimentary compared to today's standards, not like the PlayStations and xboxes were used to, trip flow to the idea of the game being 7 on 7, not 11 on 11, which how football is played on every Sunday. Yeah, and was there an issue with that? A big one, right? Madden just looked at him and said, but that's not football. Well, that is true. We see 22 players on the field every week, not 14. That's right, and trip Hawkins and his electronic art studio. If they were going to make the video game as realistic as John Mann and wanted to, in order to lend his name to it, it's going to take a little bit more time. In fact, it's going to take a lot more time. Of course, they must have agreed, right? Because we all know the incredible rise of the Madden NFL franchise now. Yes, they ultimately did. Of course, they actually may have felt like they had to. John Madden wasn't EA's first choice to be the face of their upcoming video game. They actually wanted legendary quarterback Joe Montana, but he already had a contract with Atari. Then they approached cow football coach Joe cap, but cap on a perpetual royalties, and he actually turned EA down. So, wait a minute. We might have been talking today about the cap NFL video game franchise. Maybe so, right? But of course, history didn't play out that way. And in 1988, they released the very first Madden NFL game for the Apple two computer actually. Obviously, the 1988 iteration looked a lot different from the ultra realistic almost cinematic version that we see today. But it gave people what they wanted, which really didn't exist. And that was a more realistic version of an NFL based football game. And that realism, even if it was 1988 realism, it made a very big difference to John Madden. This game it had to be real. I mean, the offensive lineman that had to move like offensive linemen, talking about this aspect of the game is NFL writer Ken belson on this NBC News segment. It's interesting looking back there are just these distinctive chapters to his career. There was the coaching error, then the broadcasting era, but there's a generation of fans who really know him mostly, perhaps totally as the face of the iconic NFL video game franchise, John mad football. What do you make of how someone is old school is Madden became this sort of video game entrepreneur? Well, he was an entrepreneur at heart. And I think what makes the game great and Madden's contribution to it was he was a stickler for details. He could have had a video game sort of become just off the shelf. But every single year he wanted to improve the game and he would bring software developers from EA to his home in California and literally go over how to improve the game. Now, he didn't understand the software necessarily, but he would try and get them to make the game more realistic. So for instance, the offensive line, well, they don't score any points in these video games. But he wanted them to move just like offensive lineman do in real games. It didn't necessarily enhance the game other than aesthetics and make it more realistic. And he software engineers who didn't necessarily know football had to translate his vision for the game into X's and O's. And that really was the hallmark of it. It's precision. And it's realism. It's precision. It's realism. And it's all because John Madden was a product person. Think about it. As product people, John Madden did exactly what we do. He communicated what was important to the team of developers. He articulated the why. Those offensive linemen, they needed to move like offensive lineman because they were offensive line. That's how football worked. So that's how this football video game needed to work. Did he know how they'd be able to develop that? No. Of course not. And let's face it often times we don't necessarily know how the development team is going to develop what they're going to develop in any product. No, I mean, hey, hopefully we can all speak the same language, but even still, even not being able to talk deep tech with the team, it was important to John Madden that he communicated these small details, so.

"You know, from trying to book guests, 38 requests, 38 yeses. Every person who we asked to speak to said yes. And the most important thing for Joel Santos, the fantastic co director and myself Joe nagy our editor, the entire wonderful team skip Clark, the DP. All knowing that John and I know Al feels this way too, that John was able to hear Al to hear that course of voices gathered with his son Mike with his family and really get the chance to absorb how people felt what they thought. Three days before his passing. As you say, Jimmy, it's just an incredible piece of timing. We're obviously so sad about John's passing, but we're so grateful knowing that he was able to see it and that he liked it. What month did you do the interviews with John in person where he watched the screen and stuff like that? When did that take place? That was over the summer. We did that, that was the principal interview with John. We went up and visited him a couple of the subsequent times audio only. But that was over the summer and again Alan knows this well and Pleasanton as part of goal line productions, the production company that he owns. He has a sound stage there, the incredibly, that's the space where he watches NFL games on Sunday. And that we construct in our own video screen. And that was where we played the clips for him. Oh, that's fascinating. So that way we saw him in the dock. That's what he watches the games on Sunday. Al have you ever been there? Have you ever seen that set up? I have. Yeah. When I was with John, those 7 seasons, we take some ancillary stuff up there, but it's a great setup. He's got all kinds of it's like a sports for basically, right? The chairs and the big screens and John would be the kind of guy who on a Sunday after his retirement, which sit there and watch 7 games at once. He was like, I guess I Pereira is in the Fox studios trying to watch every game and weigh in on every rule that comes into play. So he loved it. I mean, John would get up early on Sunday on the West Coast, watched the 10 o'clock games, watch the games at 1 o'clock, one 30, and then the Sunday Night game, then, of course, be there on Monday night as well. He didn't miss anything. He loved it. Interesting. Now, I don't want to get more of it, but I have to just for a second. Tom, when news came that he passed them 24. Was that a complete shock? Did you hear? Did you hear anything about bad health leading up to it or complete stunner? No, I was stunned and not to say that and again, I know Al because of his friendship with John was aware of some of the health challenges that John had had in his life. He was 85 years old, Jimmy. But regardless of those being aware of those concerns, I was still stunned. The very first call I made was to Mike Madden his son. I was fortunate that Mike picked up. And Mike shared, again, this feeling, this gratitude that the family had, that John.

"madden" Discussed on The Bill Simmons Podcast
"An emergency podcast to talk about somebody's death, but John Madden, I think one of the most influential sports media members of my lifetime, he might even be in the running for first passed away today, age 85, the timing was kind of crazy because we just had this documentary about him on Christmas Day and there was this whole resurgence of Madden's impact on sports and beyond and all this stuff. And so kind of as shocked as I probably am going to be about somebody who is 85 years old, but I got to say Brian, I was shocked because it felt like we were just talking about them all week. Absolutely. And you and I were texting during the documentary and the big part of that was John Mann had not been on camera in a really long time. He's done interviews from time to time. I talked to him a couple years ago, but he hadn't done anything, and then you see him on that rinaldi Doc. And he sounded really good. He looked good. He had that recognizable John matten voice, which every time you hear it you and I are children of the 80s and you get excited and you feel like, oh my gosh, here's John Madden he's telling stories and you get a little glad voice kind of going on and I don't know. I'm absolutely stunned right now. He one of the many great things about his career was it took three turns, right, where you have this raiders coach turn, where he's one of the most successful NFL coaches just by winning record of all time. He was the guy when I was growing up we had to beat the Raiders. We could never beat the Raiders. The Raiders gave the Patriots the worst playoff loss of my childhood and madam was the guy and it was like you only knew a couple of the coaches and you Tom Landry and you chucked all your new John Madden. And then it was basically everybody else. And then he leaves, guess he got burned out, whatever it was. And immediately goes into announcing and immediately is unbelievable. He's so good at it. And I remember as a kid, I was like 6 or 7th grade. He even hosted SNL. And at that point, cosell was the only person in the media that you ever could have imagined in a million years would actually host SNL. You know, out of any sports media person, nobody else was doing that. But it was like a comet watching happen. He was so much better at announcing football than anybody else we had. It wasn't close. He's competing against Merlin Olsen, bob trumpy, Tom brookshire, whoever was on Monday Night Football. They were never good. He taught me about football, he entertained me. He was this character. He was kind of became almost like a family member, right? When somebody hits like he hits, you feel like they're in your family and that's how I felt with him for two decades. Here's how big he was, CBS decides he should be the number one NFL color analyst on the NFL and CBS, which was the broadcast, right? And they do this in season bake off for the guy who's going to be his play by play guy between pets and moral and Vin Scully. Now think what a legend Vince Scully was, 40 years ago, CBS decided he was insufficiently good enough to be maddened partner and kicks him to the curb, and he goes to NBC. So that's incredible. I read that story and the logic actually made sense because they were like Harvard Terrell Neil. I was I think the guy who was executive and he was saying how, hey, look. Scully is great, but you know he talks. Madden, if we're going to make this work, he's going to talk a lot. It was one of the rare times that sports TV history that somebody's like, these two are great. Maybe not necessarily great together, putting some all. He's not going to say a lot. It could be like the perfect balance. Boy, was that assessment right. Some are all mad and are still the greatest announcing team of my lifetime. I don't think there's ever been a better one. I don't even know who number two would be. I think they're so far ahead of everybody else we've ever had. No, it caught pat at the perfect moment because pat had been this big star in the 70s. He was just a big guy I've met a former NFL player. And he needed a second. He needed a boost, right? He needed the booth. So they put him with Madden and first and ten. You know, Montana, rice, touchdown, boom, get out of the way, and then John man's got all the time he needs to fill fill it up with sound. And to use the telestrator, which I used to call the CBS chalkboard back in the old days. You did say something about there was no competitor. I will say this. When men starts late 70s early 80s, the guy is still Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football. He is that's fair. Yeah, you're right. You're right. He's still the guy and run all these Doug made this point, but John man came in like everybody else who's been ever been good at anything. You know he said Bill, he said, they're doing this the wrong way. They're calling football the wrong way and the thing they're doing is Howard is great at personality. He's great at the morals of the game and the big stories and storylines and stuff. But he scared a football. Itself, the way it's played on the field, he doesn't understand it, and he doesn't think the people at home will understand it. And John Mann goes actually the best way to understand a football game is to figure out all the complexities of football and just explain it to people at home in a way they understand. He'd done this class at the university of Cal Berkeley, so I talked to him about this once and what he did is he told me he'd go up on a chalkboard and he'd draw football plays and now there's people in class who are not football people, right? They're people that like watching football on Sunday and he'd go, okay, you know when he's going here when he's going here and he would watch them and he would watch the moment he lost them. So he's explaining a blaze. I'm gonna watch the moment their eyes glaze over. And I'm gonna walk right up to that point, or I'm gonna explain it in a way that doesn't make their eyes gloss over, right? That's really funny. That's the way you announce a game. You don't run away from the game. You just explain it away people can understand. And I saw people on Twitter here last few minutes, going, you know, man was a great coach. He was a great announcer. He was a video game guy. I want to add something to that list. He was a great explainer of football. And in that way, he's not just like, well, Madden, you know, you can draw a line for men to Chris collinsworth. You can draw a line from Madden to Kevin Clark to build barnwell to everybody to Zach glow in basketball, right? Everybody who says, I'm going to tell you show you how this game is played and make this complicated thing understandable to you. That's what John Madden could do. When I was a kid, the announcers were mostly terrible. We had by today's standards, right? It was very, very like, well, you know, it's a big spot for them here, and this would be a huge first down if they're able to get it. And the most basic stuff. And Madden came in and it was like, honestly, revolutionary seems like a weird thing to say about a sports matter. So it really did feel revolutionary. I was so used to this generic stuff unless it was Monday night. Monday night was like this good old boys thing. I grew up with Meredith and cosell and then Meredith got bounced and then it was like GIF and this rotating cast of and they always tried to make it kind of late and fun, but cosell overpowered everything. He was such a force of nature. Madam was the first one who was like, oh, I feel like I'm watching the game with somebody. I feel like he's on my couch with me, telling me what's going on..

How Do We Process the Alternate Reality That Exists in Our World?
"Yet conservatives and Republicans are still pushing the vaccine. Despite all the evidence around them, they say it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And I want to close on this note, Daniel, I want to be respectful of your time. How do you personally process how we have people living in absolutely different universes as if there's a different existence occurring? It's maddening for me quite honestly and I just decide just to keep telling the truth and keep moving forward. But when I see Republicans that are coming up this year, I know the vaccine is the greatest thing ever. It's actually it's preventing all the harm and suffering. Meanwhile, we look at the United Kingdom, 223 COVID deaths today, highest daily number of deaths since March 79% of the population 12 and older is fully vaccinated. How do we process this alternate reality? Within our own within our own world. And by the way, Charlie, it's interesting, England, as I said, same delta, as it was the first delta wave in May, now is very problematic. That's after the 5 6 month Pfizer leakage benchmark just so you know, so that's actually a very good example of what I'm talking about. Now they are getting a problem. They are, by the way, luckier than the American south because they got the benefits of the transmissibility of delta earlier on the cheap. So they do have more built up immunity. They're not going to have as many deaths as we did, but they are having problems. How do I square this? Look, you read the Johns Hopkins papers over the last decade. And now I'm getting into this. Peter bragan has an amazing book on this that traces the timeline. And they've been working on this forever. And at the end of the book, he literally is a timeline. And I'm shocked, like it is shocking the stuff. It's creepy. The stuff they talk about, they talk about PR campaigns. It's a scope. So you either get it or you're a victim of it. It's not

The Media Is Positively Complicit in Biden's Disaster of a Presidency
"Maddening is a hell crazed. Do you become when you see how complicit the media is in giving this president today a pass on a daily basis not holding this administration accountable for practically anything after the four years we had to endure of these hyenas and jackals going after the trump administration and everybody in it day in and day after. how how. how hard is that for you personally to witness this ben. Oh my goodness mike. I mean you talk about a contrast over the last four years to what joe biden faces every day. I mean you're right when when we were there in the white house. If president trump so much took less than five questions before leaving the room. This shouts from the press would almost be deafening. You wouldn't be able to even hear what was going on. Because they would continually asking questions claimed that he was ruining or tarnishing the first amendment or or getting rid of press freedom whereas joe biden can't barely be bothered to leave his beach vacation in rehoboth delaware to answer questions for the failures of his administration. it's total projection on the part of the press on the part of democrats. And i think it's so funny. Oftentimes what you see with the left in washington. Dc you know how certain people when they get defensive. They project their failures onto people they oppose. No no one has been more guilty of that than the democrat party with press freedom. I mean you think about for years. For four years mike they consistently accused donald trump of harming freedom of the press of damaging the first amendment of not respecting the rights oppress oliver the country. Donald trump was out there every single day during the cova crisis during whatever crisis was going on facing the press taking questions from them answering whatever they wanted to hear and the american people knew exactly where their president stood at all times and with joe biden. That's not the case you're you're right. It's absolutely banning the double standard but frankly democrats in washington would have no standards that they didn't have double

I've talked to who is overwhelmed by the good congressman republicans and democrats who are trying to get interpreters and now i guess priority to people out of the country yeah A little bit of background know on this reader or at least what he's comfortable with me sharing So he worked for a company. Did construction and afghanistan they built both us bases and garrisons and sports and things like that and they also did certain things for the afghan government Mostly relating to the military police institutions. He listed specific ones to me. I don't wanna get into those. He doesn't want to Call any more attention. I guess you could say to the specific projects but this company employs thousands of afghans. And it's just about every last one of them needs to get out of the country. I don't know if you saw the cnn report that they issued a death warrant for the relatives of translator so it's not just like you know if you're saying oh with the taliban really bothered with a construction worker. Yes they're going after anybody who had any work For the americans in any capacity and this pg program In addition to you know military translators and folks like that there were a of you know. Us non-governmental organizations are us contractors or even by the francisco media organizations who employed afghans and. These were folks who they kinda quickly grass every bit as much at risk as anybody else. And i could be better late than never about an august second. They created this program to say.

Americans in Afghanistan Experiencing a Wide Range of Emotions
"Retired. Army colonel mike jason. Thank you for coming on the newsworthy. It's a pleasure to be here to talk to you and your audience. So i just briefly describe for us what it's been like for you watching afghanistan comeback under taliban control. It's just been joining horrifying humiliating sad maddening. All the range of emotions for me two decades of being involved in being in the army. You know since nine eleven. That's the case for a lot of us but at the same time before we could even start to reflect or think about it we are faced with a humanitarian and really a real life crisis to people that we know serve with or fought with or friends there is almost an immediate shift to focus and attention to where to put our energies. Yeah i know you've been in contact with people who are still there in afghanistan you've talked with gold star families. What have those conversations and messages been like. They're all over the map. I heard a friend of mine you know. He's like there's a digital dunkirk going on and literally that's what it feels like all of us by peers. My friends my former soldiers in it's not just military because we've had non-governmental agencies. They're the press at huge bureaus for years so we all have people on the ground. It's a rush to parse through the chaos and understand what what's happening what the communications are what's the way out what's truth. What's not truth. who safe what. The processes are just sifting through candidate confusion because it all happened just so quickly right and really to help those people and gold star families. That's just a rash of emotions. How do you even begin to conceptualize that and so i. It's just sort of checking in just letting them know that you're thinking about them. They're heard and there's different takes to it. They're frustrated or others resigned to it or many ways. It's hard to put in the words.

They can't do. Yes, well, apparently Trae Young is fed up. He's really fed up. How fed up Not only has he taken to social media saying, y'all ever going to get it right over his 89 ranking on two K 22, but Apparently close to people who know he talked to his agency and asked, Is there a way to sue to get him removed from the game? Because he thinks his representation is unfair. No, there's not. It's collectively bargained with the National Basketball Association. Your name, image and likeness actually was sold off by the union. That's why you pay your dues and you get your money from this. You actually paid for this trip so now thinks he is a 94 or higher, okay? For those who want to know that the highest ranking in the NBA NBA two K is LeBron James. Kevin Durant. Steph Curry 97 Be honest, They're all in 96. Then in 95, you've got quite a Leonard Luca Donges. Nicola your Joel and be James Harden. Damian Lillard. So by the way, I put him right behind them.

And i'm still. I'm still shocked that there are leading this guy play and letting this guy practice when you have so many allegations of sexual and physical abuse and sexual assault against twenty four and counting women coming to and coming out and saying this guy literally sexually abused me what it means for him and he knows what. We discussed a lot of very difficult topics very realistic topics that you know. Some people might not want to talk about and it's very very intensive and it took a lot out of people just to talk about it. So let's get into some fun discussion coming up right now when it comes to training camp because training camps sports is entertainment. We all know that sports is a way that we can quote unquote escape from reality. And we'd love to have this discussion about on the field. Sports non field products and we love to speculate in the nfl and in training camp. And we love to speculate the quarterback battles in the the qb competition. We'll get into more of that later on but let's talk about when a my favorite speculations in the nfl the madden ratings because not only are madden ratings for madden twenty. two out. there are a lot of people lot of interesting names. On a lot of these lists for the highest rated running backs and we'll get into the highest rated running backs the hydrated. Ed rushers the highest rated tight ends and the highest rated wide receivers in madden twenty two because it can really show you can really tell what others think about you as a player and there's some interesting named on there. There's some people who are highly rated who probably deserve it some people who are kind of not as highly rated as they think or is that as i think they should be. And there's some names who are not on these lists who are thinking really you left out vaca and it's we're going to get into that discussion and a lot more when it comes to training camp because when training camp opens up we'd love to speculate and it's a great time of year speculate especially in the nfl so let's get in to the madden twenty two ratings right now. Now we all know if your football fan especially if you're a football fan within the last decade or so we all know that madden nfl madden has been probably the premier game for the nfl and four football fans. And i love maddened because it's basically a way that we can control our favorite teams and it's a way that we can get in touch with our football fan and couldn't touch with people around the world by plane madden madden such a great game. And over the years i feel like it's developed to the new age technology and the new game of the nfl itself in football in general but we all we all know that within madden we all have the is ready to players in the lowest reggie players and we all love to discuss the top ten ratings of players and so madden twenty. Two came out with a few of their top ten ratings. And it's interesting to see some names on this list and some names who are left off this list. Now let's get into it. So we got the highest rated running backs in madden twenty two now just think just think about who would be on your top twenty two or your top ratings for the nfl right now. I'm thinking probably five or six guys in mind but here are madden's. Nfl running back ratings for in twenty two first off. Let's go heights to lowest chris. Mccaffrey rank neck ninety seven okay. Derrick henry rick ninety six. Oh okay nick. Chubb ranked ninety six. You're telling me. Nick chub and derrick henry are ranked the same amount out. No i don't know about that. I think they are cannery. As i think derek henderson ninety six maybe not nick chubb. Delvin cook many five. How kamara a ninety four. Aaron jones comes up with the top. Six at ninety one saquon barkley comes in at number seven surprising one. Josh jacobs eighty nine. Ezekiel elliott eight. And joe mixing round out the top ten for the highest rated r. bees in madden twenty. Twenty two now when. I'm thinking about top running backs in the league. I'm thinking okay. The got the first two right christian mccaffrey. And derrick henry both solid. I think they both have elite ninety nine skills. And honestly i think chris mccaffrey. And derrick. henry have that opportunity to be a ninety nine because a lot of players around the league they love to boast and complain and talk about their scores and talk about ho- out. I'm not a ninety nine. I'm too low raw. Someone's too high but i don't understand why they have saquon barkley below aaron jones and below. Daban cook it. Just it surprises me. Honestly because we look at as a sports fan base in sports fan as a whole we look at injuries to be so significant. And that's the only reason i'm thinking they're placing saquon. Barkley ezekiel elliott. And joe. Mixon and alvin kamara solo. Because there's that at one. Point in time. Alvin kamara and saquon barkley. Were one two when it comes to best running backs in the league. Now i think they got christian mccaffrey derrick henry up. They're perfectly but i would change around some of the running back ratings aid madden right. Now my position christian mccaffrey probably number one. Derrick henry number two. I like that. I'd put alvin kamara as number three. I'd put saquon barkley as number four. I put aaron jones number five. Josh jacobs number six were were sleeping on his equal elliott. We have to remember one point in time that he was probably one of the best running backs in the league before joe mixing. So i'm just shuffle. Some things around when it comes to madden ratings when it comes to running back because you can't go wrong with this list of ten running backs which also might be the ten running-backs taken off the board when it comes to fantasy football as well because we all know that in fantasy football it's a running back driven league. We all know that in regular football the. Nfl is a quarterback driven league but fantasy football. It's a running back lead. And i would take any of these running backs to be workhorses. Expecially if saquon barclays healthy. If ezekiel elliott healthy. If allen chimeras healthy if nick chubb is healthy don't forget about kareem hunt. He's up there too. He that backfield. but in cleveland. That might be the best backfield in the game. Right now you have the one two punch of nick chub and kareem hon. That's that's a scary backfield. But i love how they put josh jacobs up there because people have been sleeping on this kid for so long. People are sleeping on josh jacobs as a top ten running back in the league and he's going to show it this year he's ranked he. I mean he should be a ninety he should be. But that's just my opinion. So those are some of the running backs we see chris. Mccaffrey derrick henry nick. Chubb dalvin cook alvin kamara. Aaron jones saquon barkley who i think should be ranked higher josh. Jacobs ezekiel elliott and joe mixon. To ran out the madden twenty two. Nfl top running backs rated now when it comes to the running backs and.

"Listeners. It's brett molina. Welcome back to talking tech my co host. Mike snyder is off today. So when you think about video games you're likely thinking about younger people. You know kids who play video games like mario kart or maybe you know kids that are in high school or college. They play older games like call of duty and madden and other stuff like that. Maybe it's your kids. Maybe it's your grandkids who knows but that's typically the audience we think of when we think about video games but something interesting is happening though which is a lot more. Seniors are starting to get into video games or have been playing for a while and they're continuing to do it even as they get older case in point A story. I wrote on tech dot. Usa today dot com about michelle stadium. Who is a grandmother of two in washington state. she goes by the nickname technical. Grandma she when she's not taking care of her grandkids. She is a budding video game. Streamer the fifty eight year old has cultivated a following on platforms like tiktok worship post highlights of her adventures in games.

"He yeah he could the one he did but the game didn't register it if he got so is off. He returned to game if while he traded it in young. Yeah that's i feel that pain because tales of graces f on ps three. I got the platinum for that game. And it requires you to beat the game Almost i'd say to half times so you go through the whole game which is already like sixty hours getting all this stuff. Then you have to play through the whole thing again you have to reach level two hundred so if you ever think getting to level ninety nine in a game is ridiculous level. Two hundred is a lot further off. Holy shit you have to look at like throughout the game it'll tell you to hit like the select button whatever that's called now and on controllers to bring up like a little cut scene where it's just some dialogue between the characters. There's an achievement to get every single one but the thing is is that they're so easily miserable because you'll see one pop up you walk through the door and when you walk through the door at little cut some can never use say get a trophy for cotton into every character on the game. Eight no for listening to every cut scene so throughout the game. I don't know come up. In the video i saw. It's come up a couple of times it'll show the select button or like a little image. In the bottom left hand corner. You hit the select button. It brings each person's up portfolio picture up Profile picture and it's they have a conversation about what's happening in the game. It happens every time you walk through a door or like something. Somebody says something new enemy for that. He experiences every little bit of dialogue. That's on the game yes there is. There's like something like four hundred of them or something and and if you miss one you don't get it and i've already missed one. I saw i walk by. She added.

"My god like wild zendaya and john. David washington acted well. It was the most like there was literally no substance. It was literally just two people arguing the entire walking time. So what you're saying. It's always just been called bitch bid rich and i was like b thing this thing. This and i've podcasts. With both of you there was two swearing now. I don't believe that i won't believe there was. I think there was too much swearing in a movie that really didn't need much swearing because there is no such thing as too much swearing. Inglorious bastards needed more swearing. No that's a. I'm so happy. You mentioned that. Because i lost my god and that it was a bad it was if tearing tito made a bad romcom Romance movie it literally was just two people arguing on top of the entire. I feel and tearing j. deo made of romance chrome i'm not gonna lie. That sounds awesome. Actually your point if territory though made a made a A love story. It was just two people yelling at each other for almost two hours. I literally at the only say zendaya in a john. David washington did a great job in the acting. Part of this movie and it was not unlike the yeah. Yeah it did it just all my faulk is so i'm going to ask the ultimate question. Then which was worse this or the last air bender fucking allegory. The last air vendor. Because we watch that movie theaters and we paid money to watch it. And don't give me your bullshit outside reasons just as a movie which one's worse technical you paid to watch that movie probably because you probably thought on netflixif something you paid for it now really thinking think you broke. You don't want. I will actually go with the last heir vendor good answer because the nerves here that Malcolm unreal had no source knows source. Material were the last air. Banner had a fantastic source material. Said they saw. It was a bad movie up against a bad movie. That ruined childhood memories. Okay that's one hundred percent logical and all in all fairness when the last winter came out. I was definitely not a chalk hill. That was in my late. Yeah imagine imagine watching the last air better series and then watching the movie now now that you've really enjoyed the animated series. Imagine watching the movie now.

"I have a great idea. Let's replace the ant. Let's play a song at the beginning of the game but with just make it something weird like. I know a lot of canadians hockey game. But wouldn't it be ready. let me finish. I finished my joke. wouldn't it be. Will you let me finish my fucking joke. Shut the fuck up and let me finish the joke. If you have some really random ass fucking songs like please rise for the singing of metallica. Seek and destroy search her. I'm not gonna lie. I would stand and take my hat off and hold it to my chest for fucking random bullshit like that. I would stand up and look at any flag. You put on top of the stadium for rick. Athletes never gonna give you up. I would fuck and do that. I think if they want to do game. Let's do it but make it fucking weird or make it funny so team america i had. I had this talk with my family about this. That really the national end. The for a lot of countries isn't really the country song so for example for israel the song that people know about is not la la it says i love how you pronounce the song and then proceeded to sing it properly. It's like that's a song for israel for italy. It's the the ones often the godfather taryn tallow. I was call. It doesn't that at that out so candidate. Basically is the hockey night in canada theme. Okay don't either that or you'll have to excuse me. I'm not known. I know it's definitely hockey night. In canada there is no question. I don't know what do you think. Okay but it's like a on sports fan. If you're playing the song the canadians associate the most with our country. It's that yep so would say there's some songs that are like an unofficial national anthem for that and like for india. There's two of them. That i can think of like you guys wanted know that but i'm just saying there's certain songs that's like i don't want to say anything for risk of not being racist anyway so go right ahead. No that's fine no sitting there some like there's some songs that are alike. They're just a.
