"This is John Madden saying goodbye from EA Sports." The words still resonate in my head ten minutes after the game has ended, a CPU vs. CPU game in Madden NFL '95 pitting the Detroit Lions against the Atlanta Falcons. Both of these teams were quite good at the time--the Lions in particular had quite a stacked roster, including the legendary Barry Sanders--but I can take no credit for the matchup as it was generated with a randomizer. '95 was notable as not only the first Madden installment to have the full NFL/NFLPA license--meaning that not only did you have all the actual NFL teams, with their real logos, but also all of the actual players, with their correct names, playing their skill positions--but it also added the two-point conversion, reflecting a crucial change the NFL had made in the 1994 offseason. The CFL (Canadian Football League) added the rule in 1975, and the AFL of the 60s had it for its entire existence (before being absorbed into the NFL), but it took until the mid-1990s for the NFL to make it a part of their rules. There were good reasons for and against making it a rule; by that point, the biggest comeback ever achieved in an NFL game was a miraculous win by the Buffalo Bills over the Houston Oilers in the 1992 AFC Wild Card round, where the Bills erased a 32-point deficit to stun Houston in overtime. They were able to achieve this comeback with the help of Frank Reich--who had engineered a similar comeback in his college days, and would be good for a few other miracles as a professional--and in the next-to-last season where the two-point conversion was still an illegal play. The Falcons' second touchdown in a game they ultimately lost 58-48, as well as the last touchdown they scored, saw them execute two successful two-point conversions. They did not need to try for two on the second touchdown, as it was still early and they led 13-0 after putting another six points on the board. However, they were in desperate need the second time around; with the second conversion being successful, they trailed by ten. Any desperation to which the scoreboard could have testified was not reflected by the coaching decisions they made at a crucial point of the game; in a situation that called for an onside kick, the Falcons elected to punt the ball away to Detroit, and then let their timeouts sit unused as Detroit burned down the play clock (and the main game clock). Fortunately for them, they managed to intercept Scott Mitchell late in the game; they had shown they could snatch the ball away from him at crucial moments, as Mitchell finished with four interceptions, but with less than a minute to go and only one timeout left in reserve after wasting two with Detroit already in Falcons territory, the ensuing bombs tried by Jeff George proved ineffective. They did not have enough time left on the clock, and Detroit walked away with the victory, in a game where Detroit was the better team in more ways than simply scoring more points but by being statistically superior. Brett Perriman and Bennie Blades were named "Players of the Game" in a nod to the "Stars of the Game" that the NHL games had featured at the end of a completed game since NHLPA Hockey '93 was released a couple of years prior. Perriman was good for 194 yards on seven receptions and scored two touchdowns, while Blades produced seven tackles and one interception of George. Barry Sanders probably missed his chance to be named a "Player of the Game" by fumbling the ball twice and failing to score a single TD despite achieving an impressive 167 rushing yards. Scott Mitchell's numbers were rather pedestrian as he went 19 for 56, for a 33% completion rate. However, he threw for 459 yards and five touchdowns, which is quite impressive as he was never pulled from the game for either his second- or third-string backups. Last but not least, the 'immortal' Jason Hanson went seven for eight on field goal attempts, a perfect five for five on PATs, and accounted for twenty-six of the Lions' fifty-eight points, which comes out to about 45%. Hanson holds the rare distinction of playing more than a decade with the same NFL team, and in fact holds the record for the most seasons with a single team of any player in NFL history; playing his last season in 2012, he broke a record that had been held by the Rams' Jackie Slater for more than fifteen years. He made his debut in 1992, which is to say that all three of the Lions' "Tecmo Super Bowl II: Special Edition" rosters have Hanson as their primary kicker on special teams. Though the Rams did retire Slater's #78, and the Lions retired Barry Sanders' #20, Jason's #4 remains available to Lions kickers to this day, and he has yet to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. (With any luck, this will eventually change.) It is almost surreal to see and hear John Madden in these old games; this was when Madden was more than just a name on a cover, but remained an active participant in the games' development beyond simply going in the recording booth to do in-game commentary. The previous year's installment, "Madden NFL '94" (which was the first to have the proper NFL license, making all the real teams and logos available; the NFLPA license didn't become available until '95), begins with an animation of John Madden's signature writing itself out on the screen, the ultimate testament to how it was truly Madden-tested, Madden-approved. After the Genesis era, Madden had less of a role in these games, so to see his likeness on the screen, and hear him making comments during a game, is incredibly special. It is sad to know he is no longer with us, but I feel like he's still here when I go back to these classics. Hearing him blurt out "Amazing!" after a pass for a big gain, or "Now that is big-time football!" after a bone-crushing sack, takes me to a happier state of mind. It may not be as complex as the running commentary you would find in the "Sports Talk Football" games, but it serves its purpose. It doesn't become the star but lets the players on the field shine. Tilting my head westward, I observe rain droplets on my window, the dim skylight faintly illuminating a marble countertop. I'm able to make out the pink flowers on the green bushes but can't discern them clearly, their reflections blurred by the dew. A housemate is gritting his teeth with a steady rhythm and working himself up into another one of his daily frenzies. I am sure he is spellbound by whatever content he is absorbing. Some habits never change. And yet I can't help but think about my own habits and whether I'm losing focus. Is it possible to lose focus, or does a focus simply shift? Once you've learned how to concentrate, is it a skill you truly can lose, or do you simply find other things that you can concentrate on? Truly, they are Brynning--I mean, burning--questions. Which reminds me of the message I received from a marvelous actress earlier this week,having written to hear way back in May. She seemed to want to know more about me, and I made my best effort to respond, sincerely, but with a sense of dignity. Not long from now, I will be meeting with a couple of friends for a Sunday morning outing, one which will hopefully shed light on any issues that may need to be resolved. Hopefully the last remaining loose ends will be tied up, as it pertains to closing one chapter of my life and being able to settle into another with some sense of relaxation. Most of all, I hope we can all have peace.
