It gets very hot in the summer here in Arizona, as we topped 100 degrees again yesterday.

To misquote the words of famed late 80's early 90's Europop group Snap! (one of my favorite groups to have punctuation in their name btw). I GOT THE POWER...Up Expansions. This program is pretty self explanatory; it's an expansion of the Power Up programs giving those existing Power Ups new steps to upgrade. This allows these players to reach 98 OVR and add a 4th ability slot. Look for these every Tuesday for the forseeable future. Check out the upgraded PUs below, listed with their former teams:

I read some of the comments from my last post and I heard a lot of comments about how cringe my writing style. And, you know, I certainly hear what you're saying. I will mold my writing personality to make sure that I appease you guys who don't enjoy the feel of my articles. With that in mind, we have some Ultimate Legends into the game on this checks calendar ......don't do it Nick. They don't like it, Nick. They don't checks calendar.........................................

Also, did you know …

It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right

So my choices of music references for the Sugar Rush program were either I Want Candy or that SugarCrash TikTok song. I'm a 31 year old man who decided those were the two references I could come up with...coooooool. The Sugar Rush program is live in Ultimate Team and there is A LOT of information to parse through. I captured as much info as I could from the GMM stream and tried to put it in bullet point form. Let me know in the comments if it is too much or too little information, and what needs to be added …

Happy Thursday to everyone in the MUTHead community! It is LTD time and we have two beasts coming to the game of John Madden Football. Defensively, we have current New York Jet and former Florida Gator Brian Poole. I've seen a lot of people on Twitter talking about how good this 98 OVR cornerback looks, ratings wise. He comes in with 96 SPD, 97 ACC, 97 MCV, and 95 ZCV, which certainly put him in the upper echelon of all defensive packs in Ultimate Team. Offensively, we need to protect the quarterback from those angry pass rushers. How about we …

On defense, how about former Clemson Tiger and current Cincinnati Bengal DJ Reader. A beast on the line, Reader comes in with 95 …
