Anyone else having problems with Xbox Live? When the dashboard loads up it says that some content is not working right now, and that I can still play games and message friends online, but the online store and other things don't seem to be worknig?

I've got the ratings for every player on every team saved onto a spread sheet. If anyone wants to hear the ratings for any of the players that I missed, just say so and I can get you those. (I just copied this directly from another forum. I didn't post the full team ratings for the Chiefs, for example, since no one there wanted to hear about them)

Turn the Lions into a 70 ranked team? Slow down there for a minute. Try taking on an easier project first, like creating peace in the Middle East.

So last week I did this for the NFC North, I did it for the South this week. These are the best players in the NFC South in each category.


- The Overall best player in the division is Tony Gonzalez, Falcons, with a 98 OVR. (get used to seeing his name in this list)

- The two fastest guys in are Steve Smith and Reggie Bush, unfortunately only one of them can actually use that talent. 97 Speed.

- Reggie Bush does have the fastest acceleration though, with a 98. So the game should properly replicate him trying to hit a hole prematurely, only to bounce outside and get tackled for a 3 yard loss.

- The strongest player in the div. is the Panthers' DT, Ma'ake Kemoeatu, with a 97. The last letters in his name spell "EAT U."

- The two most agile players are again Bush and Smith, 98 AGI.

- Gonzo is the most aware player in the div. 99 AWR.

- Gonzo also has the best catch rating with a 95.

- Falcons' Michael Turner has the best carry rating with a 98, surprised Gonzo wasn't the highest in that too given the current trend.

- QB Josh Freeman has the strongest arm in the division with a 96. Unfortunately his 78 accuracy rating is going to make it so D-backs hands will be broken.

- As if I had to write this, Breesus has the best overall accuracy with a 97.

- Let me go ahead and make this short, Breesus also has all of the best sub-accuracy ratings too. Play action as well.

- The best throw on the run rating goes to Bucs' QB Josh Freeman though. 85

- Falcons' Michael Koenen the Puntarian has the most kick power with 94.

- Jason Elam and John Kasay are the most accurate kickers with 93 each.

- Double Trouble will have no trouble with Jeff Otah's 96 runblock rating.

- Unfortunately Bojangles Delhomme will still throw 6 INTs even though Jordon Gross is the best pass blocker with a 96 rating.

- Jon Beason gets invited on a lot of fishing trips because of his great tackle, 96 tackle rating

- Aquib Talib actually wrote the keyboard notes on the Van Halen hit, Jump, he's got a 97 jump rating. (not my best effort)

- Apply postage or get ready to have your stuff returned by Reggie Bush and J-Stew, 90 Return rating.

- Michael The Burner Turner, can't be put out. 99 Injury rating.

- Have fun keeping up with Steve Smith in the 4th quarter with his 99 stamina rating.

- Steve Smith and Kellen Winslow both grew up in Tuffburg, with a 99 toughness rating.

- Michael Turner plays best on the road with a 97 trucking rating.

- Deangelo and Bush have the best elusiveness rating with a 97. Unfortunately one uses it on d-backs, the other uses it in the backfield.

- Deangelo and Turner might not have 20/20 vision, but they have 96 ball carrier vision.

- Michael Turner gets a 95 stiff arm rating. The ratings guy did not see the Panthers/Bucs 2nd game.

- Reggie Bush has a vicious 97 spin move he originally developed in dance as a child.

- Bush also has a 99 juke move, which will help him to bounce outside more quickly.

- Davin Joseph has the best impact block rating, 92.

- Jeff Otah has the best runblock strength with a 97.

- Gross has 95 runblock footwork.

- Jammal Brown has the best passblock strength with a 97.

- Gross has 96 passblock footwork.

- Julius Peppers has the best power move with an 87.

- But his strength comes from Peppers' 97 finesse move.

- KemoEATU has the best block shedding rating with a 93.

- Jon Beason achieves his goals with a 98 pursuit rating.

- Ronde Barber has the best play recognition with a 99. Unfortunately the only way to
recognize him when standing next to his brother, is to find the least smug looking one.

- It's a three way tie with man coverage, Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Gamble and Richard Marshall all have 85.

- But Barber separates himself with a 97 zone coverage rating. Unfortunately the Bucs just hired Jim Bates as their defensive coordinator, so that's practically useless.

- Antonio Bryant earned some recognition with that one handed grab to get a 96 spectacular catch.

- Gonzo and Colston have the best catch in traffic with a 97.

- And Gonzo has the best route running ability with a 98.

- Jermaine Phillips is the hardest hitter with a 96.

- And Ronde has the best press rating with a 95.

- To counter that, Gonzo (again) and Colston have the best release ratings with 96.

I was really disappointed that there was no information at the press conference about the rumored squad-based tactical Halo title, but since they are no longer owned by Microsoft, Bungie might hopefully make their own announcement about the game later in the show.
