As players enter the National Football League it is without a doubt a major culture shock. They have money in their bank account (debatable if you went to USC) and the sole focus can be dedicated to playbook study, weight room time and eating right as opposed to the distractions a student athlete navigates while playing a sport and obtaining a degree (again, debatable if you graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in Graphic Design-see Manti T’eo). One this is totally undeniable; playing Madden 25 does not make you a better football player. Now the real question is who told Teddy Bridgewater that it did?

Growing up in the 1980s I was an avid baseball fan and played the game as well. Although the years would bring new players and different outcomes, the single constant was one man, Tony Gwynn. Gwynn, as many have stated, exemplified the greatness of the game, and the class that he exhibited was inspiring and breath taking. A closer look at the stats shows how truly great he was on the field as well. by Mario "Game" Granata
Now usually when the Pocket Presence is presented, the two athletes that are compared are from the same sport, but looking at the recent developments, there was a need to have a crossover. Joe Montana and Tim Duncan are and will forever be remembered as great players for what they were able to accomplish with a quiet confidence, but there are more similarities when one looks deeper at the two. |
