the king called up his jet fighters

apparently EA Games' Madden franchise couldn't beat the competition from ESPN NFL games, and the fact that ESPN was just as good as Madden, and cost $20 instead of $50. so instead of defeating their competition by putting out a better quality game, EA decided to turn into THE MAN, by monopolizing NFL-based football games. there's a good lesson for all you business majors: don't turn out a better product, just prevent your rivals from giving you any competition. then you can turn out all the crap you want, and people wanting to play a game of that type will have no choice.
