Peyton Hillis Wins Madden Cover

"ESPN.com users have spoken, and the face of Madden NFL 12 will be Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis. Hillis was announced Wednesday as the winner of the fan vote, under way since March 21, on "SportsNation" on ESPN2. In all, almost 13 million votes were cast -- including more than 1 million in the final (ESPN)."

You know what? Good for Cleveland and good for Peyton Hillis. About time something went well for them, and I hope they all enjoy it, because there are more dark clouds on the horizon. The Madden curse has a great shot at living on. I guarantee Hillis will have less then 800 yards next season (1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2010). I was actually pumped not to see a Patriot or Aaron Rodgers on the cover, so the "curse" wouldn't expand to teams I like.

Hillis beat out Vick, does it make any sense? No, not really, but he looks way more badass on the cover then the one they had of Vick. Plus, it was already nonsense when guys like Rodgers, Andre Johnson, Adrian Peterson, ect lost out.

TJ Houshmandzadeh Boycotts Madden

“I understand I averaged 10 yards a catch, but it’s the offense, not me,” Houshmandzadeh said, via Mike Sando of ESPN.com. “I’m not playing Madden no more until they get my rating right. . . . I used to be the best in the world at Madden. I’m going to miss not playing it, but until they do me right, I’m not playing it any more.” More.

Shut the fuck up. It's Madden. Madden has sucked the past couple of years anyways. They don't have Devery Henderson ranked as the top wide receiver in the game, so I guess I will be joining you in your boycott. But seriously T.J., It's a video game.

Madden Unveils New Cursed Cover

This Year the victims will actually be two players Troy Polamalu, and Larry Fitzgerald. Previous cover models like Donovan McNabb, Shaun Alexander and Vince Young have suffered injuries during their "Madden" season. Once again the player who are on the cover are saying they don't believe in the curse, but it is kind of funny that this always seems to happen. Anyways, I am not draft Larry Fitzgerald next year in fantasy...Viva La Curse.

I Told Myself I Wouldn't Do It

I told myself I would never get Madden again. I said I would stick with NCAA 09, but I couldn't resist. I'm not happy with Madden because Madden is the same thing every year and hardly has any advancements in the gaming world(nerdiest thing I have ever said). However, I have ran a streak for FSU where I get the top recruits, haven't lost a game, and won like 9 championships in a row. I am too good for NCAA and I am ready for the Steelers or Saints to start a dynasty on the other level. Plus, I have to see what E.J. Manuel has to do in the next level. I don't know if it was the right move, but I know it was a necessary move.
