If you're like me then you're a massive nerd and if you're a massive nerd then chances are, you like video games. Now, I can safely assume that if you're reading this, you're a Bengals fan, which makes you a football fan, and as a football fan and a nerd, you probably play football video games. When it comes to football video games, there's one that stands head and shoulders above all the rest. Madden.
I think all football nerds are in agreement that Madden is hands down the best football game around. No matter what team is your favorite, it's always fun to log on line and get slaughtered by some 14-year-old punk who, in all likelihood, won't kiss a girl until he's in his mid-30's. Well, 14-year-old, while you're practicing, I'm chilling with your mom..... BURN..... ahem.... sorry, I kinda got off on a tangent there but it's not cool to roll your extremely slow, pocket passing QB, out to the sidelines to throw across the field every play because it's basically cheating (you know who you are.... WHOdeyFAN13).
Anyway, the whole point of this long pointless post is to say that this years Madden (Madden '11) has been fairly kind to the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Saints (overall rating 92) and the Colts (91) had their ratings fall off the 2010 game, but still hold the top spot. The real question … who is No. 3? That’s the Ravens. Rounding out the top ten are the Jets, Vikings, Packers, Cowboys, Patriots, Bengals and Chargers.
Top 10... not too shabby. I don't really understand how the Ravens are ranked third considering that the Bengals swept them last year but I guess the Bengals will just have to prove those geeks at Electronic Arts wrong again this year.
