Take out your anger at the Donovan McNabb-less Eagles with some throwback virtual football tourney action. We're not talking Madden on Xbox 360. Tecmo Super Bowl, the game on tap, came out in 1991 for Nintendo. It'll played on the original consoles and controllers. Top finishers win cash prizes in this 64-player single-elimination tournament, so you'd better practice (but first you gotta register at supertecmophilly@gmail.com). Fortunately, the game's playable for free online in a few different places. Not much of a gamer? Strongbox will also be showing live footage of the 2010 NFL Draft at the same time.
