Despite sales of games such as Madden and Other Sports Title, many gamers aren't into sports.

Whether it is the perceived monotony of the events, the discomfort of being outside, or the large kids it reminds them of, a lot of people simply don't enjoy watching, playing, or hearing about athletic events.

Everyone enjoyed this game. It had real players, but was easy to get into. Nerds and jocks united to enjoy the marriage of their gameplay styles. Good thing the NFL forced Midway to stop making it. Who knows how many fans could've started watching their sport?
