My bad. It was a rhetorical question. I don't find anything intellectually interesting about madden though and I suppose that's why I got a little snippy.
Supposedly "Hacker News" is intellectually interesting news for "Hackers". I'm not convinced this is.
edit: I see am I getting a ton of downvotes, I suppose there's a lot of american football fans on "Hacker News".
As covered elsewhere, John Madden’s partnership with EA created one of the most important (and profitable) video game franchises in history. He was/is literally the face of the “sports video game.” That’s relevant to this forum.
As for sports, while you can not find it interesting personally it’s clear it is interesting to a huge number of people. The consequences and study of that should be interesting in and of itself.
