Red-Light Cameras Not So Special?
The Bears may not have won the Super Bowl this year, but maybe fans can take some pride in being the home to the most perfectly fast man in the NFL, ever.
The essential football video game, Madden '08, will feature the Bear's All-Pro Devin Hester as the first player to ever receive a perfect 100 in the speed category (maybe in any category, but we can't find any support for that).
Deion Sanders, Randy Moss, and Charles Woodson all received the meager rating of 99, a full point less than Hester's blazing digital speed. Supposedly, Hester has been lobbying for the increase, but at least he acted surprised when it was announced, saying, "That's just about the best thing you could have told me. It's an honor -- I don't know what to say, really."
Luckily, no Bear player will grace the cover of the game, thus allowing one less team in Chicago to blame losing the big one on a curse (See: The Madden Cover Curse)

You're right, nobody has ever received a 100 rating in any category since Madden's debut.
Deion Sanders and Randy Moss were the fastest at 99. Does this mean we are going to see a vapor trail on Hester?
How will he compare to Bo Jackson from Techmo Bowl?
The only person ever to compare to Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl is Eric Dickerson in Tecmo Bowl. He's only in the early copies though, because they took him out, presumably, because of his drug related issues.
I'm not talking about stupid Super Tecmo Bowl either. I'm talking "Original" Tecmo Bowl.
Walter Payton was also very damn good, as was Singeltary on D, but no one compared to LT. He was the Bo Jackson of Defense. Ok, enough of my fanboy nerdiness.
Will they also have the lowest rating ever for Rex Grossman?
@MC:
Christian Okoye ("The Nigerian Nightmare") was a BEAST in Super Tecmo Bowl. Check out this video:

I was panicked that Urlacher was gonna get the cover this year. Thank god.
Also, Drew Rosenhaus' "Whiney Little Bitch" rating is currently at a 112.
If memory serves me correctly through the bong-induced fog of my early college years, I seem to recall John Riggins shedding many a would-be tackler in the original Tecmo Bowl as well...
