Blast from the past

I recently had an opportunity to play a game of Madden 07.  It seems ancient.

 

I was surprised how many names were on the roster that aren't there anymore, some good, and some bad:

Fred Smoot

Koren Robinson

Marcus Taylor

Jerome Wiggins

Mewelde Moore

Erasmus James

Napoleon Harris

Darren Sharper

Brad Johnson

Matt Birk

Tank Williams

Marcus Robinson

and... Troy Williamson.

Star-divide

There were some names not-yet-there, too:

Adrian Peterson

Jared Allen

Bernard Berrian

Madieu Williams

Bobby Wade

Sidney Rice

Percy Harvin (though he's technically not on the roster yet)

Visanthe Schiancoe

Nafui Tahi

Tyrell Johnson

Cedric Griffin

 

Have I forgotten anyone?

Ah Wiggins

How I have missed your hurtling abilities.

one of my favorites

i don’t know how that guy played professional football but i hope he does well in the ufl. i’ve never seen a more ungainly athlete.

I still remember that hurtle

And I still miss Wiggins. He had 70+ catches one year in the Mike Tice offense.

it was Jermaine Wiggins...

not Jerome. The only reason I remember that is because I used to call him, Jermaine “The Pain” Wiggins….. lame, I know. He was a WAY underrated TE.

didn’t we pick up napoleon harris towards the end of the season last year? has he been released and i missed it?

by iseepurplepeople on Jul 28, 2009 11:36 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

yes

harris was picked up because he was 1-year removed from the vikings d and EJ’s backups suck. I haven’t heard anything about him being released

From That List...

I miss Smoot and Wiggins the most….and of course Birk…but that goes without saying

Then...

…Why’d you say it? =)

by Figgs on Jul 28, 2009 12:18 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I don’t miss Smoot in the least.

by virginia viking on Jul 28, 2009 12:29 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Just by attempting to make a lambeau leap at lambeau field made him the coolest person I know haha

And Figgs….its an expression….no need to take it literally

I thought....

The smiley face would make it clear that I was just kidding around….. But apparently it didn’t. So, just so you know, I was just kidding around.

God, the talent on that second list is ridiculously good compared to the talent of the first list. Visual proof that Chilly, Speilman, and Co. have done a good job on the front office side of things over the past few years. Now, if Chilly could just prove to me that he can do it ON THE FIELD too…

Life without Favre

I guess we’re about to find out if he can ;)

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
