And then the Twitterverse exploded.

in an alternate universe.

Back playing Madden 2011 again. I have a very successful franchise, but need more cash so I can build a new stadium without moving the team. To that end, after my 34-14 victory over the Ravens, I made some moves.

I went through my roster and looked for places to cut. Under performing and overpaid veterans, mostly, who were blocking the advancement of promising rookies, mainly. I put them on the trading block with a lower-round draft pick, and asked for a higher round pick. Cleared close to $30 million off my payroll, and now have two picks in each of the first three rounds of next year's draft. I'm starting tomplan for the retirement of some of my more valuable veterans.

Seriously, I think I enjoy running the front office more than I enjoy playing football in this game.
