I’ve spent the last six days in L.A. covering Maddenpalooza for Deadspin and just got back in town so I can head over to the Gamestop where I reserved the game weeks before I got the assignment. Where’s my free copy, cockbags?

Anyway, I tried to distill an overly branded, tightly regimented fanfest to its essence of dizzying jersey tapestries and awkward retired athlete interviews (or those with Rod Benson). If you want to see Warren Sapp playing a video game, you’ll just have to get yelled at by him yourself.
