A little over a year ago I was fortunate enough to meet Irving Fryar, one of the great Eagles receivers that I watched while growing up. He was the Professional athlete hired to represent EA Sports and Best Buy for their Best Buy training camp. The event was a one day in store appearance by a former professional football player and a Madden Pro from the city the event was in.
Philadelphia has always been th home of the best Madden players and while Big Gene is arguably the “GOAT” in the madden community he was schedule to appear in another city that day. That doesn’t mean Philly was left with a slouch, no no no. Former Madden National Champion and Madden Nation Finalist, Len (Dynasty) Green was the Madden Pro to headline the Philadelphia event with Irving Fryar.
A lot of fans of the Madden NFL game have no background in playing football at all. My goal after having a very good competitive gaming career in the late 90′s was to try and bring more knowledge of the game of Football into the way people play Madden. When sitting in front of Irving Fryar and talking about some of the experiences we have each lived through on the football field, I asked him would he mind if I did a formal interview with him.
The following interview was done at the EA Sports/Best Buy Training Camp event on Columbus Blvd in Philadelphia, PA.
