The battle between LT and Curly Top was considered a classic that stop everyone in their tracks just to watch. LT prevailed 15-13

It was a festive atmosphere at the Gametime Madden 2002 Tournament, hosted by Simulation Sports Network, with two Louisiana boys taking home all the hardware and the dough. The field was a Who's Who of Madden ballers, including names like Curly Top , Cocky Lou, Dicky, Bote, Ruckus, Tuf Tim, North Philly's Ream and Jamir, Will Turner and Lou Tillery . The list goes on and on.

All games were played at a fevered pitch and tightly contested with virtually no blowouts--a tribute to the intense talent present. Lou Tillery and Will Turner obviously packed their "A" games on their flight from Louisiana. Lou was especially on top of his game, literally blitzin' and Keyshawnin' his way to the hardware. He was in the tough bracket that included Cocky Lou, Jamir and the one and only Curly Top. That, in combination with all the haters in the capacity crowd, created a road full of pot holes and speed bumps, but Warrick Dunn and Brad Johnson navigated him through.

The two feature matches pited Lou versus Curly Top's Vikings and Cocky Lou's Rams. Both games were great epic battles, well worth the price of admission alone, with a lot of dough on the line--believe that! Like the true champion he is, Lou Tillery weathered the storms and advanced 15-13 over Top in a classic black "n" blue division match up. Then, he unleashed the hounds on Cocky Lou's Rams, sacking him numerous times and totally shutting down their prolific receivers.

In both games, Lou shutout his opposition in the second half. Simply put, the man displayed why he is the most talked about and respected Baller in the country. The 504 Boys' Will Turner easily won the constellation tourney with a 42-7 score over Gametime's Beast. After being knocked out in the first tournament undaunted, he dusted off and jumped right back into the saddle and easily walked through the fields to the money. This Hustler will say this about these two fine Ballers--they brought the heat and earned a measure of respect in Philly.
