| EA SPORTS Declares Jared Zabransky as Cover Athlete for NCAA FOOTBALL 08
Former Boise State Quarterback Defines Essence of Top Selling College Football Game
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., - March 2, 2007 – Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ:
ERTS) announced today that former Boise State University quarterback
and Tostitos Fiesta Bowl MVP Jared Zabransky will appear on the cover
of NCAA® Football 08 , scheduled for release this summer under the EA
SPORTS™ brand. Developed by EA Tiburon, NCAA Football 08 will be
available on the PlayStation®2 and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment
systems, and Xbox® and Xbox 360™ video game systems from
Microsoft.
“This has been a magical season for me and seeing my face on the cover
of NCAA Football 08 is yet another unforgettable moment in what has
already been a great year,” said Zabransky. “This video game
truly embodies the spirit of college football and I'm very proud to be
a part of it.”
Zabransky led Boise State to an undefeated season this year and most
recently to a 43-42 overtime victory against Oklahoma at the Tostitos
Fiesta Bowl in what some call one of the most exhilarating games in
college football history. At the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, he
completed 19-of-29 passes for 262 yards and will most likely be
remembered for perfectly executing the Statue of Liberty play to win
the game. In three seasons as the starting quarterback, Zabransky
compiled a 33-5 record and was named a semifinalist for the Davey
O'Brien and Maxwell Awards this past season.
In NCAA Football 08 , players will look to be a leader and become a
legend on the field. With all-new Leadership Control, players now
lead by example and control the action on the field and can increase
their sphere of influence by improving their players' personal ratings
on each big play. For the first time on Xbox 360 and PS3, the
game will feature a new and deeper recruiting system and an all-new
Campus Legend mode. NCAA Football 08 is everything that's great
about college football. The game's official website is

| more to the point i am
chances are no one has heard the complete story, i dont know what
posseses me to decide to post this but i guess its an idea to put it
somewhere
this my 23rd of my life has effiently been wiped clean off the map
along with the year 2006(for me anyway), except for a few high points
and some other things
the winter i spent dealing changing roommates and what trying to start
a good season of riding to lead to racing, i was up to a good 40 miles
a ride
hospital set back #1
march 27th i had a nasty stomach flu intestinal really they say, i woke
up early that mon morning after not being able to sleep much at all, at
7am i threw up the pizza i had eaten at 1am, after trying to deal with
it with a few home remedys and no sucess i deemed it could not be
handle as such and went to the er, after a few labs they said "ur sick
and dehydrated" gave me an liter via iv some antibiotics an said you
can go, as they were pushing me in the wheel chair out to the car, i
passed out and awoke as they were lifting me back into the bed i just
left 15 seconds ago and sticking me with an iv again, they were drawing
blood again and said "ur dehydrated...", another liter along with the
abilty to drink a few glasses of water(and a few more hrs), they sent
me home.... again, thats the short and sweet one
convention....yaaaaaay
dating....yaaaaaay
mono......
my choice of dating involved driving out of town, which was a little
strain on not having my van running, middle of may i really set into
fixing my van, a good 8 days work, and work n such, i got it to work
right and it hasent giving me trouble yet, just 14 mpg
in driving to another weekend visit, what i had thought was just a
nasty cold or flu that i had brushed aside, really had some wierd
symtoms, so i decided it was time to visit the er again
hospital set back #2
may 27th (well 2 am sun the 28th)
"they said ur sick, u have mono." they gave me a few shots and
perscriptions and sent me on my way, luckily no more complications on
this visit but more to come
hospital setback #3
may 31st wed
after the percriptions ran out the pain was unbearable, again decided i
needed to see a doc in a box, they couldnt do anything, go to the er,
"they said "we'll try to taper you of the persciriptions unlike the
last doc, that should work better, if any new symtoms occur or worsen,
come back." again luckily no complications here, but theres still more
hospital setback #4
june 3 sat
sittin around the apt just taking it easy, already missing work, but i
have paid sick leave i felt ok with that, a little phlemy, spit a big
gross one out, and its a blood clot, continue to spit up blood for a
while till i can get into the er again, sittin in the er waiting, get
in to a exam room waiting, an iv, more labs and getting stuck, doc
takes a look, i start vomiting blood that id been involuteerly
swallowing, and continue to spit up blood, they call an ear, nose and
throat specialist, vomit some more blood, he does his exam and say "u
have bleeding toncilitis", but my toncils were so swollen they couldnt
tell were it was exactly coming from so they couldnt what do ever
conventional process i was to close the wound and stop the bleeding,
the other option was straight into the o.r. for a toncilectemy, then
one of the nurses or nurses aids i cant remember, i could remember his
face though, mentioned something else, a aresol spray that he used in
iraq as a medic, they just got it in a few weeks ago, it bonds with the
blood in the wound and makes it clot, my toncils wouldnt stop bleeding
on there own becuase i would swallow or spit it out so i could continue
breathing, first application... painful, more vomiting into dry
heveing, second application still prtty painful, the admit me to a room
with a stopped up asshole, they send me on my way mon the 5th
i get back home the 12th or th 13th, back to work on the the 17th, had
enough sick leave that my paycheck will be the same, awesome
a few camping trips, a family vacation that could never be
forgot, it really wasnt that much time with the family, taking it
easy till the mono was gone, august 5th i could tell it was gone, i
didnt have any symtoms, renewed energy, i felt great, got in a few bike
rides, a wapping 15 miles each maybe, helped my brother move,
marching band starts, i move, i help my sister move but she waited til
the last fucking second to move, so i was 3 nights of staying up til 3
or 4 in the morning moving her shit, in the middle of the first week of
school, a football game, and still going to work, the day after all
that, i felt like it was back, i take it easy, go see a doc, they say
"oh well the mono test is negitive, the strep test is negitive, here
are some antibiotics, take some otc ibubrofen for swelling, rest...", a
week later still not better, see the doc again, more labs, another
strep test, they're still confused, time goes on, symtoms continue, i
cant quit work, have bills to pay, plus its a GOOD job, cant quit blue
thunder, despratly need the gpa boost, plus i love it and need it for
kkpsi, sept 27th just another bad day, i start to get bruises on my
legs. but there not bruises or infections, i see the doc again a few
more times, they dont know why they are there, they say strep can
sometimes cuase that same symtom but the strep tests still come back
negitive, a few more pescriptions, the say "continue resting", i ask
work about medical leave, but becuase im only parttime, i cant and i
only have so munch sick leave and vacation, mon the 2nd, i ask work if
i can stay home sick, my supervisor has been disbelieveing me the last
week or so, set in motion by another supervisor that has is a complete
bitch has it in for me and plays favorites with a few other coworkers,
i show up, and i can hardly stand w/o a woble, i go home, i thought it
was understood that i need to take a few more days off in hopes to get
better, being met with hostility, i resined fri the 6th along with
seeing the doctor again and follow up with a ct scan, ive missed to
many practices to be able to march homecoming, i go home from the game
before it starts, week later i get a few stomach achs, some freindly
canker sores in my mouth and throat, sat the 14th and sun the 15th i
couldnt eat anything
hospital setback #5
i go to the er on sun, they give me a liter by iv again, more lab work,
they try to send me home, but after a shot of liquid ibuprofen with
excrutiating pain i convince them otherwise, they admit me to
isolation, becuase they still have no idea what i have, every time a
nurse or an aid come in to check my vitals, give me pain meds, change
the iv bag, they have to put on gloves, mask and apron, including the
guys from the lab that came in twice a day to take blood for the first
3 nd a half days, i force myself to eat something on mon, the next 2
days i still really couldnt eat, at least i dont think i did, even my
meals were served on disposable trays, when i left the room to go for a
walk i had to wear a mask, x-rays, heart sonogram, drugs, a doctor
visit everyday, still dont know what i have, then a gastrointrologist
says the symtoms point to cronhs disease, least im oput of isolation, a
test later confirmed i go home the 27th, within the reading they sent
me home with, it says "avoid taking nonsteroidial antiinflammatory
drugs such as ibuprofen... since it can worsen the disease" and what
was i doing for six weeks sept thru oct, following doctors orders,
ibuprofen 400-600 mg 2-3 time daily, oh yeah they sent me home with
perscriptions of course, $378 worth, out of pocket, have to pay for it,
have to take it, or back to the hospital, every day is $12.50
becuase on circumstances and being busy, the er bill from march get
sent to collections just befor i call and set up payment arrangements,
i find out that there is also an old bill from jan 2002, the bills from
may/june are much highier in numbers, i applied for ada county medical
assitance, denied, apealed, declined, ruled oct 4th that the bill of
about $5000 is too small for them to handle and that i have the
ablility to pay it on my $10000 a year job in five years(not to metion
about $2000 not on the application that i have to pay out of pocket,
the fact that i pay my own tuition, which i had hoped to be more but
with obvious complcation did not happen, all of the doctors visits have
been out of pocket as well, and i was paying rent and
untilities), ive been working on paying on some of them and made a
dent, but now i dont have an income and not much time till payments are
due again, for the oct bills i acually had a finacial consultant come
up to my hospital room to start on the medicaid and ada county medical
assitance again, think it should be accepted becuase it will be alot
more substantial
i keep outdoing myself and working to much around the house, cuase so
far very little is getting cleaned, or fixed unless its done be me,
even though ive lost 20-25 lbs, 3 iches in each thigh a few in the
waist as well, i did a little jogging today while test driving my
sisters car which i got running, my legs felt like stone, otherwords im
also eating so much my stomach hurts from being so full
feeling a little better each day
