lol I alwys loved the Theismann quote, "There is no such thing as a genius in football. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstien."

As for Rudy, I know you hate it, but I like the story.  It could have been at any college and still be a good story.  To me, Notre Dame has little to do with it

it's mostly the rule changes norm.  Plus I hate when they send out an edict to enforce rules already written.  Perhaps I'm reaching a bit, but that really aggravates the hell out of me, regardless of which sport.
The NFL wants points and the bet way to do that is to hinder the defense and they've done a masterful job and even that wouldn't bother me so much if they would oh I don't know, teach all of the refs the same exact thing?
You see a flag on one game, then the very same act, usually double the magnitude of the so called infraction and nobody acknowledges it, at all.  On the field, booth, sports center, everywhere. Simply astounding.
And while Im at it, these announcers aren't helping to harness my joy for the game.  All of their supposition, sensationalistic tendencies and outright self righteousness tear through my soul.
Perfect example, that dolt Billick on Dez last year, enough said.
It's just ... not so much fun as it used to be.

Redskins deserve everything they get ;-)
PI is going to be worse and far more inconsistent than it was last year which truly aggravates me.
Im at the point where I care less about football with each season and I really hate that.

Finished this last night.
My complaints about this game are;
The fights are button mashers, but do offer a variety of animations.
The rest of my complaints are more about the restraint this sort of game exhibits. One example is you move through a deserted cabin resort, kill a few bad guys then hang around and loot for as long as you want with no fear of reinforcements who are mere yards away but somehow ignore all the fighting and gunplay.  Cross that magic threshold and youre in deep.
Same goes for entering a room with baddies. You can make all the noise you want and even fire at the door but nothing will happen until you open it.

Now, here's the good stuff.
Great story and animations.
Your allies throughout are more helpful than Ive experienced in other games.
I despise boss levels.  And in LOU they are worked in pretty well so as not to feel like a lego stack to the top.
Changing weapons is much more fluid and more in the realm of reality.
Your guy is carrying a crapload of weapons but what you see him carry on screen closely mirrors your intentory.
All in all a fun game and I would recommend.
I like the sniper mission the best.

while my points still stand, I have to add that I am enjoying this game.  It's not overwhelmingly impressive but it's fun and its a good story.
Ill add more when I finish it, if I finish it.
