Madden 2010 just got a new roster. Unfortunately, the team is not cut out to play football. If the ball was an iPad, computer, or social networking site they might be able to know what to do with it. Don’t underestimate this team though because who knows what this savvy group can do. Are you ready for the most paramount team ever? I have strategically picked the following entrepreneurs and put them in the positions that would best fit them. There are 22 positions that need to be filled on a football team: 11 on offense, 11 on defense. Each position has been filled plus a kicker. I have not picked any backups for the team, but I have decided on the best possible coach. Prepare yourself for the lineup:
Offense
Steve Jobs – Quarterback
The quarterback is the leader. Who better to lead a team then a guy who can’t stop innovating and changing the future?
Warren Buffet – Wide Receiver
If he can catch a ball even 1/1millionth as good as he can make an investment, he’ll do just fine.
Sir Richard Branson – Wide Receiver
His planes can help him get to the ball before anyone else. I’m sure he has the best touchdown celebrations also.
Michael Dell – Tight End
Although Dell’s a PC user, Steve Jobs should have no problem throwing to the computer superstar.
Mark Zuckerberg – Halfback
Mark’s going to be running the ball. No playbook necessary for him. He’s just hoping all the fans watching are updating their status throughout the game.
Craig Newmark – Full Back
We never really hear too much from Craig, the guy who revolutionized the internet with craigslist. He won’t get the fame in the game, but it’s okay, that’s not what he’s playing for. He’s just giving the fans what they want.
Bill Gates – Center
This is the player who snaps the ball to the quarterback. It’s a crucial job and Bill Gates does not fail at anything he does. Some might argue he should be quarterback. He would have been seven years ago.
Donald Trump – Guard
Mess with Donald Trump and “You’re fired”. He doesn’t take crap from anyone. You won’t be able to sway Donald Trump to get to the Quarterback.
Ralph Lauren – Guard
Who’s going to mess with a guy on a horse?
Michael Bloomberg – Offensive Tackle
Entrepreneur turned Mayor. Protecting the quarterback will be like protecting New York City.
Tim Westergren – Offensive Tackle
He mastered copyright infringement protection. He should be able to protect the quarterback too.
Defense
Charles Schwab – Defensive Tackle
Schwab studies all the ratios. He knows the best way to sack the quarterback with the least risk.
David Rose – Defensive Tackle
Rose will ‘Digg’ his way to the quarterback every time.
Sergey Brin and Larry Page – Defensive Ends
These two brainiacs have an answer for everything. They come and they conquer. They’re a scary duo.
George Lucas – Linebacker
He’s ready to start some trouble with his Life Saber.
Steven Spielberg – Linebacker
He’s Indiana Jones, E.T. and a T-Rex all in one. Now that’s frightening.
Russell Simmons – Linebacker
He can “Shut ‘Em Down” with the blitz and the help of Public Enemy.
Phil Knight – Cornerback
His Nike cleats are special…
Chad Hurley – Cornerback
He’s watched all the highlights on the site he created. I’m sure he learned a thing or two. Cornerback is the one guarding the receivers. Chad can definitely keep up with the big dogs.
Oprah Winfrey – Safety
People say: “There’s God and then there’s Oprah.” She won’t let anyone past her.
Jeff Bezos – Safety
He knows the ins and outs of the internet. His experience in that is why he’s a safety. He will have to be scanning the field at all times.
Kicker
Hugh Hefner
That’s probably all he can do in his bathrobe.
Head Coach
Billy Mays
He can sell, he can yell, he can coach. Billy Mays can motivate any team to victory.
