Madden Cover

It's down to Mike Vick vs. Peyton Hillis for the cover of Madden 2012. The announcement is at 4 pm ET today. I'm sure it's safe to assume that this is the last year that EA puts the cover choice into the hands of the people. :) I'm sure they counted on Aaron Rodgers riding the Super Bowl wave to the cover.

Which is a more unlikely choice? A convicted dog fighter that spent time in a federal penitentiary or a running back who plays for the Cleveland Browns???

(my vote is for Hillis ... the city of Cleveland needs this after getting abandoned by James ... although the Madden curse could result in him getting hit by a bus that's being driven by Art Modell tomorrow).

    If Vick gets the cover I hope its a picture of one of his 1,000 fumbles........or maybe his INT to end this season.......

    What a giant douche.

    Better idea - why don't they just put the shot of Favre's junk on the cover

    Peyton Hillis won ... to which the majority of America replied, "Who the hell is Peyton Hillis?"

    Hillis was fantasy gold last year. glad i picked him up week 2. now he'll prolly go way too early in most drafts

    i always roll backs like that. i had frank gore when he broke out, forte a couple years back when he had a monster rookie season. this year it was arian foster. backs churn so much, it doesn't make a ton of sense to risk a high draft pick on em unless you are getting a stuf in his prime (johnson or AP)

    Thats exactly my philosiphy with fantasy RBs. I drafted Arian Foster in the 7th round last year and he single-handedly won we a fantasy championship.

    Around week 3 I tried to trade 3 players (2 I still use every week) for Hillis. Thankfully that trade was denied :).

    Wasn't it his brother that got hurt celebrating a kick? Playing for the Cardinals, I believe...

    Especially since Stafford always misses half the season anyway, now with the Madden curse... Buyer beware!
