Worthy
So worthy. I was shocked. I thought it would more or less be a roster update, but it ain’t. The gameplay hasn’t changed a whole lot— just a few tweaks and modifiers (like telling your O line to hold their blocks longer, which opens up wider lanes but increases the possibility of holding calls)— but the graphics and animation have drastically improved. Also, I really like the changes made to the recruiting system.

Remarkably, the A's have twice left 2nd/3rd with two out

No, "Mooning" is a separate song all by itself.

The Elvis line was a change for the movie, by the way. The original line is about Sal Mineo, but Mineo had just died before the movie was released so they were afraid that would be poor taste.

In 1986, my girlfriend was
