    One thing I noticed in the video is on the TD pass to Davis, once he gets by the guy he puts his arm into the guys chest real subtly to get some separation.  In my mind, an example of his strength playing into his abilities as a deep threat. 
     

     

    Seemed more like a "Get off me" thing since Williams was grabbing his arm at the time.

    Three high-profile quarterbacks weren’t members of the NFLPA when TSB was being made, so they couldn’t be included in the game; however, Tecmo knew of their real-life ability and fan popularity, so they cleverly came up with a way to include them anyway. Randall Cunningham is listed as QB Eagles, Jim Kelly is listed as QB Bills, and Bernie Kosar is listed as QB Browns. 

     

    Interestingly, Kosar appears in Tecmo Bowl, but not TSB. Also, Eric Dickerson is in Tecmo Bowl listed with the truncated name “Dicker,” but when TSB was being made he had a gripe with the NFLPA about not getting enough cash for his likeness, so he’s not in TSB. It is unknown why Tecmo didn’t apply a generic name such as RB Colts for Dickerson, like they did with the above trio of QBs. Hilariously, according to dictionary.com, “dicker” means “to deal, swap, or trade with petty bargaining.”

    Side note:  The number of star-studded clubs with which you could pile up points made it difficult to choose just one. TSB project manager Hidehisa Yamaguchi, who also worked as a programmer on Tecmo Bowl, said via email that the best all-around squad was a certain perennial Super Bowl runner-up. Don Beebe, a speedy receiver on those loaded Bills teams of the ’90s, told me that when his brothers squared off in Tecmo Super Bowl, they bickered over who’d get to pick Buffalo.

    It would be nice if you referenced the source you took this from.

    how are 2/3rds of your kids Vikings fans?  Do you live in a Vikings area.   ????

     

    If not, I'm calling Child Protective Services ;)

     

    No, we live in Florida.  But 2 of my kids like my wife more than me.  I'm thinking about writing them out of my will.

     

    On the other hand, at least they don't like the Dolphins or Jacksonville.
