Cleveland just ran an effective get out the vote campaign.

or a 5TD Michael Vick clip. boom

I really, really, REALLY hope Vick doesn't win, but I feel I'll be sadly disappointed.

It's not as if I care about the wild and wacky adventures of Ron Mexico. I just don't believe Vick needs to be on the cover a second time. I didn't like it when Mauer, Moss, Iverson, Manning, or anyone for that matter has graced more than one cover, and I believe good play (even if it was a one year spike), should grant someone else the ability to be bragged about and given the spoils of their labor.

Does anyone buy the game because of who is and isn't on the cover?

Never been an issue with me.

No. The only thing that matters to me is what's on the disc inside.

I'm sure there's going to be some people turned off by Vick on the cover (if he wins). Can't say I blame them, but they could just pull out the sleeve and throw it out, or better yet have their dog eat it.

Let's Go Vick! Philly is my team and vick is my favorite nfl player. Im definitely pullin for him

I think it is hilarious that Peyton Hillis may be on the cover. The fans are just effin with EA, which I find highly amusing. There are no way the suits wanted Hillis, or Vick for that matter, on the cover.

Bravo voting people, and LOL at you EA.

Not sure of the theme for Madden but when I found out who the finalist are I thought the winner could share the cover w/ that team's legend player. Hills and Jim Brown or Vick and Cunningham. Just like NBA 2k11.
