Madden NFL 12 Cover Athlete Finals: Peyton Hillis vs. Michael Vick

[BlueNGold]

The cover announcement on SportsNation is going to be amazing if Vick wins. Beadle hates Vick with a passion.

I was convinced the whole thing was fixed and Rodgers was gonna win it all. Guess I was wrong.

wow, I'll never buy this game if Vick is on the cover. My dog would kill me.

Admit it, you would have thought it was cool if Aaron Rodgers was on the cover. Personally, I wanted Clay Matthews on the cover, but he didn't even make the tournament.

I'm afraid you underestimate me. I didn't like the idea of any Packers on the cover, but I fully expected him to win it. I'm a Packers fan, yes, but I could care less about "exposure." The Packers are already "exposed." People know who the Packers are. We don't need Rodgers on the cover to give us that.

And BTW, I either didn't vote in Rodgers's matchups, or voted against him. Personally, I would have loved to see Danny Woodhead on the cover just because a good friend of mine hates him with a passion and I'd love to see his reaction if Woodhead were on the cover.

I thought Favre was a Jet when he exposed himself:P

Anyways, I love a good underdog story, so I hope Hillis wins.

yeah I guess....but really how does Aaron Rodgers not make the cover? Superbowl MVP, break out season placing him in the Manning, Brady level of QB's, storied franchise......Michael Vick...really? Nice comeback season but no where near the season Rodgers had. And Hillis? I like the guy but his team is among the leagues worst.....they finished last with him, they can finish last without him. Is he really a great player or a flash in the pan?????

I'm pretty disappointed in this. It reminds me of MLB all star voting where it's really a popularity contest not an earned honor. Maddenites have been infatuated with Vick ever since they could use him to scramble all over the field. I just don't get this.

Well... yes... lol But who knows how often he exposed himself as a Packer, or even as a Falcon. I mean, just because we haven't heard about anythink like that while he was a Packer, doesn't mean it didn't happen. And Favre was a well known partier. But that's getting off-topic.

Maybe putting the word exposed in quotation marks wasn't the best idea. What I meant was they're already one of the most well known teams in the NFL, even prior to winning the SB. We don't really need the media exposure from Rodgers, or any other Packer, on the cover.

Fans just liked the story of Hillis more. Rodgers excelled at what he was asked to do, that's for sure... but given the option what would an average person watch, a clip of Rodgers throwing 3 TD passes or a clip of Hillis hurdling 3 people and plowing someone over? Cleveland just ran an effective get out the vote campaign.
