It's that time of year again. Madden is out, and when Madden comes out the sports world and the game world collide for a brief moment before rebounding back to their proper places. What happens when loudmouth sports stars, the release of Madden and the ability to address the entire internet via Twitter collide? Something between hilarity and idiocy. Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson (who legally had his name changed to Ocho Cinco) has laid down the challenge to the world via his Twitter: "Estaban 85 is my gamer tag! estaban 85, retweet to the world so I can takeover madden like pinky and the brain." Oh, it's on Estaban85, it is on! Hopefully Mr. Cinco is being a bit sarcastic about his Madden skills, but if not he's in for a sore surprise because I've got his name and I can pass the puck into a home run like none other. If you really want a laugh read back through the day's tweets as Ocho tries to set up his Xbox Live and create a Gamertag. To make this post worthwhile I have included a video of Pinky and the Brain's opening below. They're Pinky, they're Pink and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Braaaain. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)If you want a laugh, just sign up to Chad's twitter period. He was busted last weekend by taking pics of GI Joe in the theater while Twittering his commentary on it. Dude it was a bad idea to give his gamertag out he is gonna get virtuaraped by all the people who hate him on XBL I can't believe that non-sports fans wouldn't love this guy. He takes sports (and life, really) about as seriously as the majority of D-toid does. He's the perfect NFL ambassador to this fine community, to be honest. 1:00 PM on 05.22.2013 EA's E3 conference includes first look at Star Wars plansElectronic Arts' E3 press briefing will provide viewers with a first look at what the company plans on doing with its multi-year Star Wars deal with Disney, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau announced.
