So I’ve had tha New Xbox Experience for a while now and so far its pretty cool. I’ve heard alot of people with wireless connection who say now they can not connect to Live. Of course there are bugs and glitches that Microsoft has to work out over time as they come up. Tha avatars are pretty cool. They need to give us more range of clothes and accessories. There are not enough shirts and jackets to pick from and tha ones we can pick from aren’t that great. Pants are ok and shoes are average. Not enough hats and jewelry. Hopefully over time they will add more FREE stuff for avatars and not charge us Microsoft points or any of that bullshit. This new experience makes my console and connection lag and freeze every now and then. So far I haven’t found anything that completely ruins my game play. Tha party chat is great. We’ve been waiting for something like that and now you can talk to more than one person at a time. Private Chat was cool, but being able to talk to a few friends is much better. New Xbox Experience is cool, but I hope theres more to come in tha future. If you have Xbox Live and have applied tha update leave a comment with your thoughts..

What up? If you read my last post from yesterday you should know I have updated my tracks and MVP is one of them. It is a Beat Squad beat, with my lyrics, and recording. Tha first verse has all sports ‘references’ to some of my favorite and most respected players. Tha second verse all has sports ‘references’. And tha third verse is Hip-Hop emcee references to many artists that influenced me, and helped Hip-Hop to become what it is today. Eventually I hope to record a part two so I can mention many I didn’t in this version. You can check tha track out at www.myspace.com/dynamitemuzik If you like what your hear add and spread tha word.

Whats up? With tha help of ‘The Beat Squad’ (top producers outta ATL) I have had some of my tracks sent to DJ Toomp at Enzone Entertainment. I am apart of Beat Squad’s ‘Trak Starz’ program. My tracks, with their beats, were submitted and will be heard by Enzone. I’m not really hoping for a deal or anything like that, just a little exposure.

DYNAMITE

So Thursday Night Football is now over with a final score of Steelers 27-Bengals 10
Of course PIT won, who woulda picked Cinci? They are a team in need of rebuilding. Steelers strong D had a great game, Big Ben only threw 1 TD to tight end Heath Miller. Overall this is what PIT really needed.

Each team had 1 turnover. 208 net yards for CIN and 364 net yards for PIT. Steelers had more T.O.P. with 35:20 compared to Cinci’s 24:40.

An interesting fact is that Ben now has his 47th win in his 5 year career passing John Elway and one game from Otto Graham, Marino, and Brady. He has alot of hatters and critics, but continues to play solid and play to win.

Ben was 17/30 with 243 yards 1TD, and no INT’s. He also had 13 rushing yards on 3 att for 1 TD. So he finished with nice stats.

Fitzpatrick was 20/37 with 168 yards, 1TD, and 1INT. His 1TD was to G. Holt who had 16 yards on 2 catches.

Top 2 rushers for both teams are:

Cinci: Benson had 16 attempts for 35yds with his longest at 7 yards. He was controlled and had a bad game.

Pit: Moore had 15 attempts for 56yds with his longest at 15 yards. He didn’t score either. Not a great game, but not a horrible game.

Cinci is a team that needs to build from tha ground up and have a big change in coaching staff and pull off a few good free agent pick ups and good trades. While PIT is a team who is looking at playoffs and has solid game play on both sides of tha ball, especially defense. I am glad PIT won, seeing I picked them and that they needed it more than tha Bengals did..

Ok so Week 12 is here, lets take a real quick look at each game..

Week 12
Thu, Nov 20
CIN @ PIT 8:15 PM
Lets see how Cinci bounces back after a TIE last week. Steelers should beat tha one win Bengals as long as they control turn overs and play strong.

Sun, Nov 23
CAR @ ATL 1:00 PM
Division, important game here. With how each teams running backs are playin this could go either way, could be tight, or a blow out. If Matt Ryan controls tha ball with little to none turnovers, Falcons should win. If Jake plays strong, and both Panthers wide outs grab tha ball, Panthers should win. This is one of those tough games that should be great to watch, hopefully..

PHI @ BAL 1:00 PM
Eagles TIED lasted week and Ravens got stomped to tha ground, which is odd because just 2 weeks ago BAL broke 40 points. So who knows in this game? If McNabb steps up and plays like an elite QB, Eagles should have no issues. If Westbrook can get something going, either catching or rushing, Eagles should win. Of course I am going with Eagles because they are my team and NEED to win this, but this should be a tough game.

HOU @ CLE 1:00 PM
Quinn!! Fuck Anderson. For those who don’t know yet, I believe Anderson is one of tha NFL’s top overatted QB’s and not very talented. Just look at what has happened, Edwards drops alot of balls, but with Quinn broke 100 yards last week. And I am a huge Notre Dame fan and have followed Quinn for some years now and am glad to see him getting his chance. Which ever teams gets something going and going good should walk away with a W. If Texans can get a solid passing game, or Cleveland can. Either way..

SF @ DAL 1:00 PM
Dallas should win. Should is tha key word. Romo is back, Witten is a beast, TO is a beast and this D is breakable and team is struggling. I see a good game either Dallas walking on them or 49ers shocking everyone and pulling one of ‘those’ wins off. Since I’m an Eagles fan I would love SF to win, but on paper it looks like Dallas should.

TB @ DET 1:00 PM
So tha Buccs lost one back, but Dunn will be starter, which is good. He is predicted 23 fantasy in a basic league this week. Buccs should win, nothing more to say really. Dunn and Williams should run on this D easy. This should be a blow out in favor of Tampa, unless tha Lions decide to step up and Daunte gets at that D.

MIN @ JAC 1:00 PM
On paper this game looks like Carolina and Atlanta. 2 teams with strong running backs. In this case, both teams have 2 good backs that can eat a D alive. Jones-Drew and Taylor ’should’ have a field day on tha Vikings run D, and so should Chester and AP. Could go either way. Depends on QB’s and turnovers.

BUF @ KC 1:00 PM
So lets look at this..KC is getting closer and closer to winning, while tha Bills have dropped a few games in a row after a great start. On papper it seems like tha Cheifs will pull it off, but tha Bills have to be focused and wanting a W. This could tha game of tha week. Could come down to OT or last second, or Lee Evens or Bowe could tear apart tha opposing D and be a blow out. Lynch could run on KC easily if he gets going. ?

NE @ MIA 1:00 PM
No Tom Brady still, but they don’t seem to need him, huh? Ginn is getting better by tha week. Division. Looks like a great game on paper. I would like MIA to win, but tha Pats offense has been playing hard and strong in tha past few weeks. Who knows..

CHI @ STL 1:00 PM
Bears need this win, while tha Rams don’t really. Bears need this to keep playoff hopes going, while Rams need some self-esstem. Bears ’should’ win unless Avery explodes or Holt.

NYJ @ TEN 1:00 PM
10-0, going for 11-0. I want to see tha Titians make it to 11-0, but they must go thru Favre and this good Jets offense. They can do it if they stay focused. Titians!

OAK @ DEN 4:05 PM
Division. Broncos should win with no issues. Unless we see an amazing upset..

NYG @ ARI 4:15 PM
2 of tha best teams. In my opinion Cards may be tha best along side Giants and Titians. This should be a good game and I HOPE tha Cards hand tha Giants their 2nd L. Boldin is a fuckin beast and if he has tha chance could tear this D, same with Larry. Hightower may get going, but may not. I am all for ARI, but this should be a tough fought game with tha winning team coming out tired and wore down.

WAS @ SEA 4:15 PM
On paper its all Redskins. But if Julius Jones gets going and ‘hawks get their offense rolling, tha ’skins could drop another easy one, as they did with STL.

IND @ SD 8:15 PM
Could be great, may be a blow out. If LT and that SD offense gets up and plays, Chargers all tha way, but if Addai puts up another great rushing..? I am all for tha Bolts, but this is two tough teams..

Mon, Nov 24
GB @ NO 8:30 PM
On paper Green Bay should win and Rodgers should have a field day. Unless Brees wakes up. I am going with GB, but still leaning towards tha Saints just a little because its Monday Night Football and great things happen..

Byes: None

Ok so NFL Week 11 is here starting tonight with tha Jets playing at tha Pats. And Ty Law will be going up against his former team. No more byes, its time for teams to play hard and play to win, playoffs are up for grabs. This year has tight races in many divisions. So lets take a quick look at this weeks games.

Week 11
Thu, Nov 13

NYJ @ NE 8:15 PM
This looks like a good game, with no Brady tha Pats are still playing hard and playing good. These two usually play tough when they play. Tha Jets had a ‘free’ win last week with walking on tha weak Rams. This week they will come back down to earth and face a tough offense and tough defense.

Sun, Nov 16

DEN @ ATL 1:00 PM
This could go either way. Denver’s passing attack could tear tha Falcons apart, but Atlanta’s running attack could tear Denver down. Whoever gets a good start and breaks away should pull this one off. Marshall and Royal are expected to have big games, but so if Turner..So?

DET @ CAR 1:00 PM
Williams takes advantage of weak D’s when he plays them and should have a field day with tha Lions horrible run D. Jake should rebound from last weeks 4 INTS and -2 fantasy points. Panthers are tha high picked favorite in this one. Unless tha Lions pull something new and crazy out look for Carolina to win.

PHI @ CIN 1:00 PM
Last week tha Eagles lost a very hard fought game that they needed to win. They should rebound nice against this weak team. Westbrook is being predicted to explode on Cinci’s D, Curtis and Jackson are expected to get nice stats. McNabb can easily pick apart this D with his good passing and sneaking abillity. Look for Philly to get a W, unless some how tha Bengals start strong and finish strong.

CHI @ GB 1:00 PM
This should be good. Bears travel to tha Packers. Rodgers is thought to have a good game. Many think of strong/hard/tough D when they think of Chicago, but by stats thats not exactly tha case. Tha Bears D needs to play hard and maybe score, or Hester return a punt of kickoff. Should be a hard fought game until tha end.

HOU @ IND 1:00 PM
This is a hard game to call. Indy is playing good, Texans are playing good. I would like to see tha Texans pull this off, but who knows?

TEN @ JAC 1:00 PM
Undefeated Titians are facing a tough Jags team. Just like last week should be hard fought. If tha Titians can find a good running game and hold of Taylor and Jones-Drew they should get another W.

NO @ KC 1:00 PM
Tha Cheifs are playing better with each week and could pull off a win here. If they contain Brees, who knows what will happen. Last week they almost beat SD, but missed a 2pt conversion in tha final seconds. KC’s passing attack is getting better with their QB hitting 3 wide outs on a regular basis. What will happen?

OAK @ MIA 1:00 PM
Dolpins should win, plain and simple. McFadden’s toe, weak D, and weak offense equals a hard game for Oakland. Unless a magically ending happens or many picks and turnovers look for MIA to get tha W.

BAL @ NYG 1:00 PM
This should be one hell of a game. I really hope tha Ravens walk on tha Giants, but NY is a tough team. Last week tha Ravens destroyed. Get em Ed Reed..

MIN @ TB 1:00 PM
Tampa has RB issues with injuries and Williams is active now. So anything could happen. If Tampa gets a running game going they may win, but tha Vikings are playing like they want tha playoffs. ???

STL @ SF 4:05 PM
With Jackson injuried and last weeks beating, 49ers ’should’ win. I am a STL fan because I am from STL, but I am a huge fan of Issac Bruce and hope he gets in tha endzone. Could go either way.

ARI @ SEA 4:05 PM
By a quick look, tha Cards should kill tha ‘Hawks. But Hasselback should be back, so who knows? If Julius Jones hits hard and hits strong SEA has a chance. But with tha way Warner and Boldin are connecting Arizona is one of tha NFL’s top teams right now.

SD @ PIT 4:15 PM
Pit is injuried and beat up so SD should win. This may be a last second play type of game, unless turnovers happens too much. Either way..

DAL @ WAS 8:15 PM
Division. Romo should play which means TO should score. Witten is still banged up, that hurts Dallas. But Portis looks like he will not play. If Portis doesn’t play Dallas should take advantage and pressure Jason hard. But they have depth at RB and could still get some kind of running game. I would like tha ’skins to win, but this should be a tough game.

Mon, Nov 17

CLE @ BUF 8:30 PM
I hope Quinn gets his first win here, but Bills are a tough team. If Edwards decides to catch tha damn ball tha Browns could win. Tough game or blow out?

Byes: None

Ok on to tha next Madden 09 Achievement posting. This one is about tha ‘team’ style achievements. By team I mean, you must be that exact team to get that achievement. Tha teams are Dolphins, Falcons, Titians, & Jets. So here they are:

5. 6 Rush TDs with the Dolphins (50) —
6 Rush TDs in a game with the Dolphins (non co-op)

16. 7 Pass TDs with the Falcons (50) —
Throw 7 pass TDs in a game with the Falcons (non co-op)

17. 550 Pass Yds with the Titans (50) —
550 Pass Yds in a game with the Titans (non co-op)

18. 300 Rush Yds with the Jets (10) —
300 Rush Yds in a game with the Jets (non co-op)

“6 Rush TDs with the Dolphins”
Get 6 rushing TD’s while playing as tha Miami Dolphins. It doesn’t say it has to be with one player either. I used ‘Bess’ to catch alot of passes on slant routes to get me down tha field and Brown on short passes. It is worth 50 gamerscore. I was in franchise and got 8 rushing TD’s, 5 with Brown, but it didn’t count because I simmed on D for one quarter.

“7 Pass TDs with the Falcons”
Get 7 passing touchdowns while playing as tha Atlanta Falcons. I would say use Turner out of tha back field and on short routes to get tha yards and score. I did this once, and it never counted. I had 8 passing TD’s with Matt Ryan. I think it didn’t count because I simmed a few defensive plays, like 2 or 3 only. I’ve seen some say I has to be in play now and others say it has to be in franchise. Its worth 50 gamerscore.

“550 Pass Yds with the Titans”
Get 550+ passing yards with tha Titians. Pretty self explanitory. I would play tha full game and don’t sim anything. Its worth 50 gamerscore.

“300 Rush Yds with the Jets”
Get 300+ rushing yards with tha New York Jets. It doesn’t say with one player so use Jones and Washington to pound tha ball and get those yards. Its worth 10 gamerscore, prolly since they have 2 good backs.

Read next posting..

Ok so here are tha final and secret Madden 09 Achievements. Two final and two secret. Here they are:

1. 2 TD Kickoff Returns in a game (75) —
Return 2 Kickoffs for a TD in a game (non co-op)

8. 2 TD Punt Returns in a game (65) —
2 TD Punt Returns in a game (non co-op)

20. Midway Monster (50) —
Create a legendary player from the past. Do accomplish this, you must go to the “Create A Superstar” mode. Once there, you enter “Bones” as a case-sensitive first name and “Jackson” as a case-sensitive last name. Lastly you save the character to get the achievement.

25. Secret achievement: Now Here’s a Guy… (50) —
Thank you for purchasing Madden NFL 09. Here’s to another 20 years!

“2 TD Kickoff Returns in a game”
Reeturn 2 kickoffs for touchdowns in a game. I’d try using tha Eagles for Jackson, Bears for Hester, or Jags for Jones-Drew. Worth 75 gamerscore.

“2 TD Punt Returns in a game”
Reeturn 2 punts for touchdowns in a game. I’d try using tha Eagles for Jackson, Bears for Hester, or Jags for Jones-Drew. Worth 65 gamerscore.

“Midway Monster”
So your wanting to know how to do this one huh? First go to the “Create A Superstar” mode, then enter: ‘BONES’ as first name and: ‘JACKSON’ as last name. (BONES JACKSON) It is not case-sensitive. I think you need to change tha team to ‘Bengals’, not 100% sure about that, but I did because thats how I saw it. Then just hit (B) and ‘Keep Without Saving’ or whatever you want, and you will see tha achievement pop up.
Very very easy..Worth 50 gamerscore!

“Secret achievement: Now Here’s a Guy…”
Ok so tha ‘Secret’ one now. This is just like ‘Midway Monster.’ Go to “Create A Superstar” mode, then enter: ‘JOHN’ as first name, and: ‘MADDEN’ as last name. (JOHN MADDEN) Again not case-sensitive. Then just like above you can keep without saving or save or whatever, but you will get it. Again easy and worth 50 gamerscore. 2 quick and easy ones worth 100 gamerscore..

Ok so there are all tha Madden 09 Achievements within all these posts to help you out. I will post more about Madden 09 gameplay within later posts so keep checking and reading..

Ok so now rival game achievements. You must be playing a rival to get these achievements. I would say to start a franchise, pick your favorite team or a talented team, and when your rival games come up try for these all in tha same season.
